Greek Island Odyssey
Write your own Greek legend on this sun-splashed, eight-day adventure around the Cyclades that starts in Athens. After a crowd-beating tour of the Acropolis and dining on local dishes in underrated neighbourhood Keramikos, the next morning, it’s off to the island of Milos while the sun skims gold coins across the surface of the Aegean. After exploring the whitewashed alleyways and quiet beaches in Milos, it’s on to atmospheric Naxos, where you’ll learn how to cook a traditional three-course Greek meal. Santorini – with those iconic hillside views – is your final stop.

Seductive Southern Italy
The only people who’d argue that Southern Italy isn’t the most beautiful part of the country are northern Italians. For anyone else, the ankle end of Italy’s boot boasts the most postcard-pretty places – from Matera to Positano. This 10-day tour takes it all in, starting in Naples, the spiritual home of pizza. But it’s not just pizza that the city is proud of, as you’ll find out on a street-food tour. Nor, as you’ll discover next on a day-long excursion, is the Amalfi Coast just for Instagram posers, or the region of Puglia only about olive oil.
