May might just our favourite time of year to travel. Springtime is in full bloom, summer is on the horizon and yet you can still take advantage of shoulder season’s lower costs and lesser crowds. With the increasingly sweltering summers, too, we think that May is the best time to visit this gorgeous selection of destinations, all of which have Culture Trip departures in 2024.
Seductive Southern Italy
Expect glorious Mediterranean sunshine and long days of la dolce vita on this glorious tour of Italy’s most splendid stretches of coastline. We’ll start in the ancient and characterful streets of Naples, where you’ll be treated to an incredible street food tour. From there we’ll wind down the Amalfi Coast, stopping off in picture-perfect seaside towns and cruising along crystal clear ocean waters. Then it’s time to head east, stopping off at charming Puglian towns like Matera, Alberobello and Locorotondo, before eventually reaching the mesmerising beaches of Polignano a Mare. We’ll spend the last four days sampling world class olive oil, discovering beautiful baroque towns and dining on fresh Italian delights on the coast of Puglia. Join us in Naples on 25 May 2024!
