SICILY: CUISINE, BEACHES & VOLCANIC ADVENTURES
This southern Italian island is one of the most enchanting in Europe. Why? Oh where do we begin? How about the scenery – Sicily has some of the best in the country, from the well-known, like the beautiful hilltop town of Toarmina (made even more famous by the hit HBO series The White Lotus), to the legendary active volcano of Mount Etna, whose fertile slopes make for vineyards. Palermo, one of the two major cities, is an addictive blend of culture and color, where crumbling churches sit alongside tiny local bars filled with flat-cap-wearing elderly gents. And the street food scene here? One of the best in the world.
It’s one of Europe’s most popular countries, and for good reason. To say Spain has it all doesn’t cover a fraction of it – you can join crowds on long golden beaches or be one of a handful to kick back on a small, sun-dappled cove. You can breathe in fresh air in flower-filled valleys and wander between olive groves in the Sierra Nevada mountains, or get lost in its cities, from the very cool and underrated cobbles of Valencia, to Madrid, with its tiny decades-old tapas bars. There’s beauty at every turn, and history on every corner. Oh, and let’s not forget the legendary regional delicacies, from paella to cava. This adventure delves deep into Spain’s heart and soul – and the memories will linger for years to come.
Ancient history, sun-kissed swimmings spots and jaw-dropping natural scenery combine on Crete, the largest of the Greek islands. Some will know it as the home of the Minotaur, the monster imprisoned in the labyrinth of Knossos in Greek mythology; others will know it for its incredible local produce, grown at local farms and best enjoyed in the island’s small villages. Venetian harbors, wild swimming lakes, and empty beaches are just some of the other reasons why Crete is also a favorite.
