There are few more romantic and fascinating places than Georgia. Dripping with history and culture it’s not just the Southern charm and hospitality which you meet wherever you go but the echoes of the old South are still everywhere you look.


This fly drive lets you get under the skin of the Peach State” with overnights in places such as Jekyll Island with wildlife tours to Cumberland Island, the Okefenokee Swamp or even a visit to the Sea Turtle Hospital.


This holiday is about coastal history and where better to start than Palm Beach when you fly into Miami with its chic boutiques and shops and celebrities walking the streets or just stretch out on its glorious sands after your flight.


If beaches are your thing then relax as you move further up the coast on 5 miles of beaches backed by sea oat-covered sand dunes that are perfect for sunbathing, people-watching and frolicking in the sand and surf of the Atlantic Ocean.


No visit to Georgia is complete with immersing yourself in the beautifully preserved 18th century city that is Savannah. Be it by a carriage or walking tour to Visit the museums, browse in the shops and dine in one of the many restaurants or even take a ghost tour at night.


If that’s not enough wait until you pass in to South Caroline and see the glory that is Charleston with it rich history, famous restaurant community and impeccably well mannerly people. “Y’all come back now is really meant here.


Back into Georgia to stay at Madison the "authentic southern town", with a renowned choice of dining cuisines, speciality shops and over 160 antique dealers before finally arriving at Atlanta. You may not be able to ride by carriage through the flames like Rhett Butler and Scarlet O’Hara but your heart will be on fire wanting to come back very soon to this most alluring of the southern states.
