Cycle the Dalmatian Coast
4.9
Great trip with a lovely group of travelling companions. There were only 6 of us plus the guide, but we all got along really well and looked out for each other.
The itinerary was well considered with a good mix of longer cycling days interspersed with shorter days for relaxation and recovery. Not a trip for someone hoping to cover lots of miles, but enough of a challenge to make it interesting.
The Croatian scenery is stunning and many of the roads we cycled followed the coastline with beautiful views at every turn. There were plenty of opportunities to swim in the crystal clear sea - sometimes twice a day - and many chances to sample great food. The trip to a small-scale, local vineyard on Korcula was a particular highlight.

Hiking Turkey's Lycian Way
4.7
Very enjoyable week of walking on the scenic lycian way. The walks were all as descibed on the explore itinerary - some challenging, all rewarding. Our guide zep was great, informative on the history and culture without overloading us and with a fun personality. All very professionally run. Accommodation generally good and as described, though the last hotel in kas had no wifi in the rooms.which was irritating. The food throughout was excellent with generous amounts provided where it was included and good restaurant recommendations where it wasn't. The optional dune sunset trip at Patara was well worth doing, and the boat trip on the last day was a great, relaxing activity to finish on.
