The Best Group Trips to Europe in 2024

Food and drink are at the centre of your nine-day trip to Georgia, known as the Cradle of Wine for its millennia-long winemaking heritage. You’ll taste the national dish “khachapuri” (a hearty cheese-filled bread), attend a masterclass in traditional Georgian cooking and see how the country’s wine is made in subterranean clay vats. Nature-orientated highlights include hiking through the Lagodekhi National Park and Caucasus Mountains. Finish with a massage and a soak in the sulphur baths of Tbilisi.

Experience the soul-soothing wonder of Mediterranean life on this eight-day Greek odyssey, which starts with an intro to Athens before island-hopping between some of the archipelago’s most underrated islands. Visit the iconic Acropolis and discover the lesser-known contemporary joys of Athens’ trendiest neighbourhoods, before embarking on boat cruises around the quaint island of Milos, and chilling on the pristine beaches of laid-back Naxos. Finally, we’ll end up on the photogenic island of Santorini, where we’ll gather together for one last dinner as the sun sets over the island’s iconic blue-domed buildings.
