Go island-hopping in the Greek Cyclades

We’ve all dreamt of a dreamy Mediterranean escape in Greece, no? The hardest part is choosing your destination – would you prefer the storied grandeur of ancient Athens, or the quiet, idyllic beaches of Milos? Then there’s the winding alleyways of charming Naxos, and the whitewashed walls and blue-domed roofs of Santorini, perfect for a sunset dinner. Well, as you may have guessed by now, we’ll take you to all four on this extensive eight-day exploration of Hellas. See the sights in the capital before heading off the beaten path as you hop from island to island, relaxing on undiscovered beaches, enjoying a tranquil boat cruise and preparing your own traditional three-course meal along the way.

Explore Central Europe by train

There’s something so romantic about whizzing from old medieval city to even older medieval city from the comfort of a modern train carriage. This 10-day Rail Trip is a love letter to classic Europe, starting in Berlin and calling at Prague, Vienna and Bratislava en route to our final destination, Budapest. You’ll get plenty of time to discover the historical and cultural quirks of each, exploring old towns on foot, seeing Berlin blend the old with the new, sipping local beer in Prague and chomping on a schnitzel dinner in Vienna. At the end of our city break adventure you’ll be able to reflect on a trip of the lifetime, first from the comfort of Budapest’s thermal baths, before seeing out the night in one of the city’s trendy ruin bars.
