Who wouldn’t want to leave our winter behind and spend a week tanning poolside in Mykonos? The real one, not the resort in Langebaan.

The biggest stumbling block is the cost, of course. The euro to rand exchange is not for the faint-hearted and if you want to visit the Mediterranean, be prepared to fork out.

More than 60 criminal cases have been lodged against the company since 2017, with disgruntled clients claiming they have very little hope of ever getting their money back.

Consider this a warning coming to you via the Carte Blanche team:
