Cheap flights from Amsterdam to Lanzarote from £155

Lanzarote is famous for its clear skies, and the lack of bright light makes stargazing another attraction. You can spot the stars anywhere in the city, or you can go to the Penas del Chache. It is the island's highest point at 670m and provides stunning views. It has road access with a car park.

In the background of volcanoes, there is Eremita de Los Dolores, the most visited church in Lanzarote. In front of it, there’s a huge parking lot, which is the meeting point for hiking through the volcanic craters. That's one of the best things to do in Lanzarote, especially if you travel alone. It is not an excursion; it looks like just an informal group walk of different people and locals.

The top coast of Lanzarote gets the main weather and tidal flow. Usually, divers here can find loads of interesting things, like barrels, shipwrecks and pieces of driftwood, and just enjoy the sea life. It’s the stretch from Timanfaya through La Santa and to Famara that gets it.
