Santorini and Naxos are two of the most beautiful islands in the Cyclades but here is where the similarity ends. Santorini feels like no other place on earth: an ancient island that endured one of the largest volcanic eruptions in history. Here everything is bright like the whitewashed cube-shaped houses, the lapis lazuli sea and the sunsets that light up the caldera. Whilst the towns and beaches are understandably popular, the walking opportunities on the island are numerous, through volcanic landscapes and along spectacular cliffs along a series of mule tracks. Naxos on the other hand is the largest of the Cyclade islands with some of Greece's best white sand beaches, a smattering of ancient ruins and a lively town. Away from the coast, life has changed little in the last century. Traditional farming practices abound in a landscape of fertile valleys home to 1000 year old olive groves and impressive mountains beckoning to be climbed. One day is spent ascending the highest mountain of the area: Mt Zas. From its summit enjoy breathtaking views of olive-orchards set in sharp contrast with the deep blue Aegean Sea. The pace of the holiday is dictated by you, with plenty of opportunity after the walks to swim in the sea or hotel pool, wander through markets in the small towns and relax at a taverna to watch the sunset.
Excellent way to get a beautiful tour of key cities travelling by trains, luxury bus, funiculars, cog trains, and a 2 story gondola. We saw everything Switzerland is known for and tasted excellent food and stayed in 5 star hotels. Tour guides and bus driver were so friendly, helpful, courteous, patient and became like part of the family by the time we finished. You don't want to miss this tour of Switzerland.
Hotel was quirky but very good. Exceptionally clean, friendly and helpful staff, excellent food. The apps provided were extremely detailed and helpful and there was no chance of getting lost. Basing our stay in one location and giving us the flexibility to easily modify our plans worked really well for us.
Our 12-day self-guided tour from St Ives to Mevagissey was everything we hoped it would be! The scenery was so dramatic, and the path was rugged and challenging, the views from the cliffs of the water and the sky were delightful and gave us peace and a sense of wonder. Our accommodations were wonderful, and we ate some very good food at them. We had a long year of personal loss, and it was the best place to help us heal. We are never disappointed when we travel with them, they are always just what we need.
