About

Libra Holidays was a well-known travel operator that specialised in package holidays to sun-soaked destinations across the Mediterranean. The company was particularly renowned for its expertise in Cyprus, Greece, and Turkey, offering a diverse range of accommodations from budget-friendly apartments to upscale resorts.

Catering to families, couples, and groups, Libra Holidays aimed to deliver affordable and memorable holidays, often with flights, accommodations, and transfers included. The operator’s focus on exceptional value and customer care made it a popular choice for British holidaymakers seeking a stress-free getaway.
 

History

Founded in the 1970s, Libra Holidays quickly established itself as a trusted provider of Mediterranean travel experiences. The company initially focused on Cyprus, building strong relationships with local hoteliers and expanding its offerings to include curated excursions, self-catering options, and beachfront properties.

By the 1980s and 1990s, Libra Holidays expanded its portfolio to cover other Mediterranean destinations such as Greece, Turkey, and Egypt. The company became known for its excellent package deals and its ability to offer a balance of affordability and quality.

Despite its success, Libra Holidays faced growing competition in the early 2000s, with economic pressures and shifts in consumer behavior impacting its operations. In 2009, the company entered administration, marking the end of its presence in the travel industry. However, it left a legacy of reliable and affordable Mediterranean holidays.
