Greece

Greece has a certain magic about it that just can't be beaten. With 227 islands and an ancient mainland, it's almost impossible to see it all, but we dare you to try! Check out our bucket list for all the essential experiences during your island-hopping.

It's hard to miss the Acropolis when you're in Athens. Rising above the sea of white, this archaeological site symbolises the ancient world more than anything else. Head up to the Parthenon and explore the ruins of ancient Greece, the birthplac

Norway

Whenever you're heading to a Scandinavian country, this natural phenomenon must be on your list. Norway is one of the top destinations to see the Aurora Borealis, so don't miss them! They appear between September and March. Although the best views are found to the far north of the country, such as near Tromsø or the Lofoten Islands, you may still see the Lights from the easier-to-reach southern cities like Bergen.

The Netherlands

There are so many delicious Dutch treats to try, but if we had to pick one, it would be the stroopwafel. Two thin layers of waffle, sandwiched together with syrup or caramel. You can buy these treats in any supermarket, but why not try a fresh one from the market in Gouda, the stroopwafel's birthplace? And we warn you now - once you've had one, you'll be begging for more...

Slovenia

This really goes without saying. There's not much that could make Lake Bled better than it already is, but seeing the sun rise across the Julian Alps is something very special. Head up to Mala Osojnica for the iconic view across the mystical lake, and take snacks!

Les Moulins

She wants to be a sage-femme.

The conversation crumbles between us like the rocks beneath my sandals. They’re not equipped for climbing to the windmill, nor am I equipped with more than a hesitant grasp of her language.

Words spill amongst the murmuring of the crickets; the sun is setting above Nissan-lez-Enserune, and they sing in force as we stumble among the white rocks and weeds of the fitness trail.

Lambri: Experience a Traditional Greek Easter

This week, it’s Holy Week: the most important week for the Greek Orthodox Church. Why? It’s the period of both mourning and celebration with the crucifixion of Christ on Holy Friday, and his resurrection on midnight on Holy Saturday.

You might not really do much for Easter, but here on Zakynthos, Holy Week is one of the most important events in the cultural calendar. Picture a sea of candles, swaying in the midnight air; the scent of incense, drifting alongside a church procession. Imagine the

Ancient Athens: a celebration of history, culture and wonder

Many people say that Athens was the birthplace of modern civilisation. It was the birthplace of democracy, of the first city-state and ancient Greece as we know it. Now, you might associate it with magnificent ancient temples, rising into the sky, with glorious ancient treasures around every corner. But Athens is so much more than that.

Bathed in history, culture and nature, Athens is unmistakeably a city of life and modernity. With our incredible Ancient Athens package, discover both ancient a
