You could sit at home and stuff your face with chocolate over the Easter holidays, or you could do something a bit more interesting with your vacations.
Four days off to get out and about doesn't really seem enough but many Easter holiday packages will convince you that four days is all you need. To start with, anywhere in Australia is accessible in that time, with shopping in Melbourne, sight-seeing in Sydney or beach accommodation in Queensland to consider.
Easter is a big deal in Mexico with major parties and colourful parades going off in every town and people performing passion plays on Good Friday and fireworks all weekend. Hit the city centres over this time as they tend to be less crowded with better holiday deals on offer.
If you're in Greece, Easter is more important than Christmas, with candle-lit parades and more fireworks to celebrate. Rituals vary across the country from painting eggs red and smashing them together to throwing jars of water from balconies. Grab cheap holidays with a good beach close by.
The three places to travel to in the USA for Easter are New Orleans to witness the start of Mardi Gras, New York to see the Easter Sunday parade on 5th Avenue and Hawaii's Big Island for the Merrie Monarch Festival, a celebration of hula.
Whichever option you pick for your Easter holidays, at least you'll avoid the mountain of chocolate. Maybe.
