SWITZERLAND

Walk in the steps of the Targaryens and the Lannisters in our Dubrovnik’s Towering Walls itinerary inspired by Game of Thrones.

Visit the nearby islands for idyllic beaches, get lost in the Roman history and cobblestone alleyways of Split, or head to Krka National Park for its stunning multi-level waterfalls.

GREECE

Just like Sophie in Mamma Mia, jet off to Greece for a relaxing break in the sun with family and friends. Take a dip in the warm blue sea and feast on the highlights of Greek cuisine – olives, feta and fresh fish. From the romantic cliffs of Santorini to the long stretches of white sand beach on Naxos and the striking gorges and caves of Crete, each island is unique. Our popular Greek Island Hopping itinerary is a firm favourite, taking in charming Crete, stunning Santorini and the marvellous Mykonos.
