Flying from your local airport takes a lot of the stress out of travel – especially when you live in areas as far from major airports as Norfolk and most of East Anglia!
Your holiday should be relaxing, and with Oyster Travel, you get peace of mind from the start. For the ultimate laid-back trip, explore holidays from Norwich Airport to fit your style of travel.
For the culture seekers
If historic sites and culturally rich experiences are your go-to, you can swap Norwich city centre for a selection of Europe’s most interesting destinations.
Amsterdam
A visit to the Dutch capital is the perfect city break. You can see world-class art, wander winding streets, and eat your fill of stroopwafel as you spend a few days exploring one of Europe’s most popular cities.
The Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, and Anne Frank’s House each receive millions of visitors every year, but there’s plenty to see besides the usual tourist spots. Even just sitting by the picturesque canals sipping a coffee is a great way to experience local life.
If you’re tempted to venture outside the city, you can also see the Netherlands’ famous windmills, Keukenhof Gardens, and if you time it right, tulip fields – or visit all three over the course of this spring 2027 river cruise
Cyprus
Cyprus is a melting pot of Mediterranean culture, with a history of conquests leading to a rich blend of Greek and Turkish influences.
Embrace the Siga Siga, “slowly, slowly”, way of life as you settle into a holiday that combines relaxation and natural beauty with discovery. Home to three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, with the largest in the city of Paphos itself, you can spend several days uncovering the secrets of Aphrodite’s supposed birthplace.
From the mosaics and ruins of Kato Paphos and the Tombs of the Kings, to witnessing the enduring craftsmanship of Cypriot lacework, or watching a Greek tragedy in an ancient amphitheatre, culture seekers will find plenty to enjoy in Cyprus.
Malta
Like Cyprus, Malta gives you the best of both worlds. Beaches and warm Mediterranean waters sit alongside historic temples and ancient cities in this island just south of the Sicilian coast.
The sandstone walls of capital Valletta house ornate architecture and cobbled streets, while the countryside is dotted with ancient ruins and megalithic temples. A standout for history buffs is the underground complex of Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum, built by a bygone civilisation between 4000 BC and 1500BC.
With exceptional beaches, delicious food (don’t miss pastizzi!), and a lively atmosphere, there’s something for everyone in Malta.
For the summer sun chasers
If historic sites and culturally rich experiences are your go-to, you can swap Norwich city centre for a selection of Europe’s most interesting destinations.
Portugal
Rugged cliffs, golden beaches, and a series of charming towns and fishing villages – the Algarve of Portugal is famous for a reason. And as Portugal’s southernmost coastline, you’re more likely than not to enjoy sunny skies and long beach-lounging days.
One of Norwich’s newest destinations, Faro is in the heart of the Algarve, and makes a great base to explore the region. If you want to switch off, relax, and experience the Mediterranean lifestyle – and enjoy both natural beauty and nightlife – Portugal could be your perfect next trip.
Spain
Few places are better for beaches than the south-eastern coast of Spain. From the laidback Altea to the busy Benidorm, there’s a beach resort to suit everyone’s tastes. Fly into Alicante, and you can easily explore Spain’s White Coast – with around 300 days of sunshine a year, it’s a sun seekers’ paradise.
For reliably hot weather, another popular Spanish holiday from Norwich is the island of Tenerife. With sandy beaches, dramatic mountainous skylines, and a mix of relaxation and adventure, the island is a year-round resort for those looking to escape.
Turkey
Fly into Dalaman and you have Turkey’s glittering Turquoise Coast at your disposal.
Many holidaymakers visit here to stop in a luxurious resort and unwind completely from their day to day. But there’s more to Turkey than stunning beaches and hot weather for those looking for it!
Whether your dream holiday consists of sailing along the coast, a trek through ancient cities, or sipping cocktails on a sun lounger, Turkey is sure to impress.
For the island hoppers
Unwind on sandy beaches and fall for the charm of island life.
Balearic islands
From beautiful beaches, quaint villages, and delicious food, to great nightlife, these Spanish islands have it all.
- Ibiza – a popular choice for both partygoers and peace-seekers alike, Ibiza is becoming increasingly known for its fantastic beaches and wellness retreats, not just its famous nightlife.
- Majorca – the largest of the three islands, Majorca has a little bit of everything. Beaches, nature, food, adventure; it’s a holiday destination that appeals to all age groups, and a firm favourite with families.
- Menorca – guests to Menorca can enjoy the most relaxed, laid-back atmosphere of the three islands. Gorgeous beaches and coves, old towns, and whitewashed fishing villages give an air of quiet luxury.
Greek islands
Your own Greek paradise is only a flight from Norwich away.
- Corfu – emerald-green mountains, a beautiful coastline, and a UNESCO-listed Old Town filled with Venetian architecture; Corfu is one of the more rugged Greek islands, and overflowing with natural beauty.
- Crete – the largest Greek island, Crete is home to colourful villages, crystal clear waters, and some of the best beaches in Greece.
- Rhodes – if you fancy a bit of variety while on your relaxing Greek holiday, you can explore the ancient history and culture of Rhodes, as well as its excellent beaches!

Lapland
Snowmobiling across an icy tundra, spotting the elusive northern lights, and exploring an Arctic wilderness: Lapland offers a holiday experience you’ll never forget.
Of course, the number one reason many people flock to Lapland is to meet its most famous resident! Taking your children to meet Father Christmas will create precious memories for all the family, and you can skip the tears and tantrums of a long journey to the airport by flying from Norwich.
