The best time to visit Charleston is during the spring, between March and May. The blooming Magnolia trees make for a picture-perfect city landscape and the temperatures are warm. The summer months of July and August can be incredibly hot and humid, so a few days in the city should be rounded off with a trip to the coast. Winter can be pleasant, but there is a slight chill in the air that deters most tourists.

Fly into the bustling city of Charleston. Starting in this beautiful city, guests will enjoy two nights experiencing the very best of Southern hospitality. Picture-perfect in every way, you will enjoy spending a few days exploring antebellum architecture, waterfront parks and boutique shops. With its buzzy atmosphere and endless amount of trendy bars and restaurants, you'll love Charleston for its undeniable romance and elegance.

Collect your hire car, escape the city, and head to the coast for some sun-soaking where you can explore the beautiful Jekyll Island by bicycle. Pay a visit to the patients at the Georgia Sea Turtle Centre, where up to 15 injured sea turtles are being rehabilitated for release back into the ocean and enjoy lunch on the pier. In the afternoon, cycle through oak trees draped in Spanish moss to the famous Driftwood Beach, where jagged ancient trees have burst through the sand due to erosion over the years, creating incredible photography opportunities.
