Aegean Dreams

Splendid ruins, hot beaches, fresh feasts and quaint towns.

Modern Gourmet

The site of Heracles’ slaying of the ferocious Nemean Lion, Nemea today is more known for its sprawling vineyards and sunbleached ruins. Spend a day here on an 11-day gastronomic tour before tasting honey in Nafplio, folding dolmas and making spanakopita in Delphi, and visiting an organic farm on Crete — not missing the 4,000-year-old Minoan palace. This tour captures ancient heritage and modern Hellenic flavors.

Intimate Islands

Dock along the multihued houses that ascend the hills of Symi Island; from here, it’s a leisurely hike to the Panormitis Monastery. Your eight days of islandhopping in the Aegean aboard a traditionally crafted gulet will bring you to some of Greece’s lesser known shores; on Nisyros, explore Mandraki’s bright-white buildings; on Tilos, quiet coves are yours for the swimming.

A Day in Corfu

Boasting a continental influence alongside its ancient Greek heritage, Corfu possesses a wealth of historic sites framed by breezy palms and beautiful bougainvillea. Start your day trip to the island with an exploration of Achilleion Palace, former residence of Empress Elisabeth of Austria, and take in the view of tiny Pontikonisi Island, where a church hides within the trees. In lovely Corfu Town, visit the Church of Saint Spyridon or relax at a shady taverna.

 An abundance of cultural treasures

Traveling across Europe opens your eyes to a world of unparalleled culture and history. It often seems impossible to choose between the Renaissance art of Florence and the Impressionist paintings of Paris; Germany’s Bavarian castles and the bustling multicultural London streets. The wealth of knowledge acquired in Europe is an asset of a lifetime – its only rivals being the people and food you’ll encounter along the way! Close proximity of individual countries makes it easy to incorporate any number of them into your trip, while each country is more than worthy of a focused, extended stay as you immerse yourself in the culture and communities.

The Possibilities Are Endless

Set to a backdrop of an impressive variety of landscapes, from lush tropical rainforests to the breath-taking Rocky Mountain range, North America offers a unique adventure for every traveler. Take a road trip along the Pacific Coast highway, zip-line through Canada’s temperate rainforests, or journey through Mexico’s Copper Canyon by train. The endless opportunities of the land will leave you wanting to discover more.
