EUROPESoak in natural hot springs under the Northern Lights (weather permitting) and tour the Golden Circle – Thingvellir National Park, the Geysir Geothermal Area and the Gullfoss waterfall – in a private super jeep on this five-day tour of the Land of Fire and Ice. On top of that, you’ll hike through waterfalls, over glaciers and across black sand beaches. Make sure you also taste Icelandic spirit “brennivín” as well as fermented shark, a local delicacy.
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.
Commence your 12-day Turkish odyssey in Istanbul. Lose yourself in the colourful chaos of the Grand Bazaar – one of the world’s largest markets, with over 4,000 stalls – and explore the 15th-century Topkapi Palace, home to 25 sultans through the years. From there, hit the key sights in the capital of Ankara, before beginning an overland adventure that will see you hot-air-ballooning over the meringue-like rocks of Cappadocia, hiking through the ancient underground city of Kaymakli, and relaxing on Antalya’s pristine beaches.
