Greetings!,
Happy first day of summer! With summer just beginning it's not too late to think about our five trips planned for later this year.
Discover Croatia & Slovenia in August with the Istrian Peninsula. Visit medieval villages, UNESCO Sites, and yacht for seven nights aboard the brand new Princess Aloha along the Dalmatian Coast of the Adriatic.
On our Precious Stones of Puglia tour in September explore the southeast region beginning in Bari and we'll travel south along Italy's heel. Continue on our Roseto Valfortore & Gargano Peninsula tour to find your roots in this precious Valley of the Roses heading north along the rugged coast.
Explore Ethiopia's Historic Route in September for the Meskal Festival in Lalibela. Then head south to Omo Valley's unique tribes of Mursi, Konso, Hamer and Bena.
Our favorite Bulgaria guide, Lyuba, will lead us for a New Adventure in the Balkans in October. From Bulgaria head south to Northern Greece, west to Albania and back through Macedonia.
We'd be delighted to give you full details on these exciting trips. Brief descriptions below take you to each itinerary on our website.
