GREECE

GLORIOUS SUNSETS, SPOTLESS BEACHES AND BRIGHT BLUE SEAS ARE WHAT A HOLIDAY IN GREECE IS ALL ABOUT. THIS IS A COUNTRY BRIMMING WITH HISTORY, RENOWNED FOR ITS WARM, FRIENDLY PEOPLE AND AWASH WITH PICTURE-POSTCARD VILLAGES AND PRETTY WATERSIDE TAVERNAS.

Greece is such a familiar destination for the British (so many of us have memories of childhood summer holidays spent there) that it sometimes gets overlooked in the rush for more far-flung destinations. Yet here is the exotic right on our doorstep. Just a few hours flight south and you’re in a different climate altogether with crystal-clear waters and temperatures in the twenties from May to October.

There’s great variety, too. The many groups of islands all have their own personality; some with enticing sandy coves, some dramatic coastal drives and charming white-washed houses - all knitted together by a fascinating antiquity.

Crete may be adorned with beautiful beaches, coasts lined with cliffs, snow-capped mountains and lush valleys, but it also holds onto stories of civilisation dating back through the millennia. And for sun-

FALL IN LOVE WITH LITTLE VENICE

worshippers, the Dodecanese islands, including history-filled Kos, are said to be the sunniest in Greece. Over on the Sporades, alluring Skiathos is strewn with fig trees and olive groves, its emerald interior melting into cerulean waters.

The exceedingly-photogenic Mykonos is renowned for its glitz and glam, attracting those who like to party ‘til sunrise and explore the beaches, bars and boutiques. And the white-washed buildings and blue-domed roofs of Santorini are as iconic as the ancient architecture of Athens. Don’t forget mainland Greece; Halkidiki, in the north, reveals a rugged, mountainous landscape, its three legs jutting out into the turquoise Aegean Sea. Its fragrant pine forests are perfect for hiking and mountain biking, and Blue Flag beaches rimmed with crystalline waters lure snorkellers, kayakers and windsurfers.

EXPLORING GREECE

Perfectly scenic and disarmingly romantic, Little Venice is where you’ll find the Mykonos of postcards and paintings. The 18th-century fishermen’s houses built here seem to perch precariously atop the caressing waves of the ocean, earning the quarter its Italian city-inspired nickname. Sip a chilled cocktail and witness the iconic thatched windmills and blazing sunset as the water ripples below you.

GETTING THERE

EXPLORE THESSALONIKI

Take a break from Halkidiki’s swoon-worthy beaches and venture to Greece’s second city, Thessaloniki, a bright, bold and colourful hub where the ancient rubs shoulders with the modern. There’s over 2,000 years of history lingering here, with Roman relics, Byzantine churches and atmospheric, café-lined cobbled lanes juxtaposed with modern architecture and a thriving gastronomy scene.

Flying time from the UK is approximately 3 hours to Corfu and Thessaloniki (for Halkidiki) and up to 4 hours to other destinations and islands.

British Airways: Non-stop departures from London airports through the summer. Caribtours also works with Jet2 and Easyjet, and can also arrange twin centre itineraries.

Note: All our inclusive holiday prices are based on either low cost carriers, or British Airways Euro Traveller flights.

Corfu, known as Kerkyra by the Greeks, is a green and mountainous island of olive groves and sandy beaches, with a distinctive culture shaped by four centuries of Venetian rule. This was also one of the first Greek islands to embrace mass tourism back in the 1960s, though it’s easy to escape the summer crowds and discover the wild beauty that famously inspired the British naturalist and writer Gerald Durrell. Corfu is the closest Greek island to the UK, just three hours’ flight from our main airports, and it’s also one of the more affordable destinations in the Ionian, making it a fantastic choice for a family holiday. Attractions range from ancient churches and rustic waterfront tavernas to aquariums and water parks, while the island’s capital, Corfu Town, has one of the loveliest old towns in Greece.

TEMPTING TRAVELLERS WITH ITS TOPAZ WATERS, BLUE FLAG BEACHES AND AWE-INSPIRING ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES, CYPRUS IS A SUN-KISSED WONDER OF MYTHS, LEGENDS AND ANTIQUE MARVELS.

Providing one of the friendliest welcomes on earth, the Cypriots are rightly proud of their beautiful island. As the legendary birthplace of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, the landscape, people and culture have a lot to live up to – and they do so with admirable success.

This magical island, undulating with mountains and dappled with forests of cedar, is steeped in history and richly romantic. Fascinating archaeological sites lie crumbling in the sun, telling tales of times gone by; pristine beaches lure sunbathers, surfers and snorkellers; mountain ranges and protected parks harbour wildlife and untainted natural beauty; and picturesque towns and villages, complete with cobbled lanes and terracotta-tiled rooftops, are enveloped by hills clad in forests and vineyards.

The Mediterranean climate means that Cyprus enjoys beautifully-warm weather from March to October, which also makes it a good winter sun

The uninhabited Akamas peninsula is a protected natural area home to 600 plant species, over 160 species of bird, and a variety of mammals, reptiles and butterflies. Whether you explore the area by mountain bike, 4X4, quad bike or via boat from the outskirts, the stunning natural beauty here will enchant you. Highlights include the mythical Baths of Aphrodite, the cavernous Avakas gorge, and Lara Beach where green and loggerhead turtles emerge from the sea to lay their eggs.

Delve into the ancient riches and thriving cultural scene of Paphos. Centred around a bustling harbour, Paphos sees a treasure trove of historic relics sitting alongside a thriving arts and cultural scene today. Visit the fascinating Paphos Archaeological Site and marvel at the mosaicked floors of Roman villas, the limestone-hewn Odeon Amphitheatre, and the captivating Tombs of the Kings where nobility were laid to rest.

destination, with temperatures staying mild for much of the year. The island has an abundance of beaches, many of which have been awarded the European Blue Flag for their quality.

The harbour town of Paphos is gateway to an enthralling array of historic sites, revealing archaeological splendours dating back as far as prehistoric times. Elsewhere on the island, the city of Limassol is a thriving modern hub bordering seven miles of glistening seafront and complete with a glitzy marina. Still, the city encompasses a delightfully scenic old town replete with a medieval castle and charming boutiques lining cobbled lanes.

Then there’s the island’s delicious cuisine, a festival of gastronomy at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa, with a strong nod to classic Greek and Mediterranean fare. It’s best to dine in true Cypriot style, al fresco, a selection of meze to feast on, all washed down with a chilled glass of locally-sourced wine.

TROODOS MOUNTAINS

Venture beyond the beaches, and you’ll find that Cyprus has a vast, mountainous interior, where traditional villages, ancient monasteries and time-worn castles sit within landscapes of lush pine and cypress trees, sun-baked cacti and exotic wilderness. The Troodos mountain range plays host to a number of spectacularly-scenic natural beauty spots and charming villages, including Kakopetria with its atmospheric old quarter that unfolds in a warren of narrow cobbled streets.

LIMASSOL WINE FESTIVAL

There’s evidence to suggest that Cyprus has been a wine-growing country for 6,000 years – this makes them the oldest wine producers in the world. The 10-day Limmasol Wine Festival has been a yearly tradition since the 1960s; it’s held from late August to early September and draws tens of thousands of locals and tourists alike. As well as sampling all the wines on offer, festival goers can enjoy music, traditional dancing and various performance arts as part of the festivities.

SPAIN

THE BRITISH LOVE AFFAIR WITH SPAIN IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND. FROM THE QUAINT VILLAGES OF MALLORCA TO THE CHILL-OUT VIBES OF IBIZA, AND THE MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN OF TENERIFE, THE DIVERSITY OF THIS COUNTRY IS IMMENSELY APPEALING.

Renowned as one of Europe’s premier holiday destinations, Spain sparkles with a diversity and a cultural richness that reflects a dramatic history of conquest and empire.

The Iberian Peninsula, where Spain resides, boasts a Mediterranean climate, blessing the country with sun-kissed days and pleasant evenings. This ideal weather sets the stage for luxurious beach retreats along the Costa del Sol, where high-end resorts, each with its own distinctive character, welcome guests to indulge in the lap of coastal extravagance.

From Marbella’s glitzy Puerto Banus to the serene beauty of Ibiza’s secluded coves, Spain’s coastlines redefine luxury seaside living.

Mallorca spellbinds with its postcard-perfect beaches and crystalline waters, but it’s not just sea and sand this sun-drenched island has to offer. Travel inland, through a landscape clad in olive and almond

MAJESTIC MOUNTAINSCAPES

groves, and you’ll come across villages where time seems to stand still, as well as grand country estates and sprawling vineyards unseen by the masses. Its Balearic sister, Ibiza, is famed for its summertime influx of the bohemian and hedonistic, but its chill-out vibes, blissful beaches and well-established spa scene make it excellent for unwinding.

Journey further south and you’ll reach the compelling Canary Islands. Tenerife boasts a consistent balmy climate that makes it the ideal escape for any time of year, luring families, hiking enthusiasts and sunworshippers to its shores year round. The same can be said of its close neighbour, Lanzarote, where resorts jostle for space with a bewildering juxtaposition of simmering volcanoes, otherworldly lava valleys, leafy palm forests and golden swathes of beach.

BEYOND THE BEACHES

Mallorca may be known for its beaches, but delve a little deeper into the island’s heart and you’ll come across the most spectacular and visually dramatic mountain range. The Tramuntana Mountains are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and whether you drive through its picturesque villages or challenge yourself to a day of hiking or mountain biking, you’ll be in awe of this pine-clad mountainscape.

EXTRAORDINARY BIODIVERSITY

Lanzarote’s extraordinary biodiversity extends below the water’s surface. As a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the island is home to a fascinating mélange of marine life which thrive in its balmy, clear waters. Visibility often extends more than 30 metres and you’re likely to encounter all manner of sea creatures including angel sharks, parrot fish and barracuda.

GETTING THERE

Flying time from the UK is approximately 3 hours to Malaga and up to 4 hours to the Canary Islands and 2.5 hours to Mallorca and Ibiza.

British Airways: Non-stop departures from London airports.

We can also offer flights with low-cost carriers from a variety of departure airports in the UK.

Reaching skyward for over 12,000ft, the colossal Mount Tiede in Tenerife is the highest mountain in all of Spain and absolutely breathtaking to witness. If you don’t feel like hiking to the top, just take the cable car for a speedy eight-minute journey to the peak. The views from up there are magnificent as the majestic valley below is revealed, with its eerie, volcanic terrain showcasing a multi-hued palette of colours.

MUSIC AND MISCELLANY

During the summer, world-class DJs descend on Ibiza, and the party crowd follow. But if you’re not one for revelry, don’t be too quick to write it off. There are pockets of quiet and solitude on this island of miscellany; dig a little deeper than the pulsating nightclubs and beach parties, and you’ll come upon sleepy hamlets, hidden coves, pine-scented forests and a UNESCO-listed old town filled to the brim with history and heritage.

TURKEY

POISED BETWEEN THE EAST AND WEST, THE ANCIENT AND MODERN, AND THE COSMOPOLITAN AND TRADITIONAL, TURKEY IS A RICHLY VARIED AND WILDLY FASCINATING COUNTRY OF CONTRASTS.

Bazaars scented with rich spices, the inviting warmth of a Hammam, the time-worn splendour and intrigue of ancient ruins, and scenery so vast and varied you’ll wonder if you’re still on Planet Earth; these are all reasons Turkey continues to enthral and delight visitors. We don’t need to tell you that this storied land has a wealth of historic sites to explore; take Istanbul’s soaring Aya Sofya which dates all the way back to the Middle Ages, the enchanting city of Ephesus which contains one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the assemblage of well-preserved archaeological sites in Antalya, for example. The home of many an ancient civilisation, there’s evidence of lost worlds around every corner here. But once you’ve finished marvelling over the jewels of times past, you’ll find that Turkey dazzles with more than just its man-made treasures.

There’s over 8,000 kilometres of coastline to explore here, and the southwest coast is one of our very favourite spots; in particular, the area known as the Turquoise Coast, or Turkish Riviera. This unwaveringly

beautiful ribbon of shoreline mesmerises like no other.

There’s dramatic seafront scenery, absorbing cultural sites, watersports aplenty, and delicious local cuisine all waiting to be discovered and delighted in.

On the Aegean coast, the Bodrum Peninsula lures holidaymakers with its sandy shores, sailing, diving, and pine-scented woodland trails. There’s a succession of charming bars and eateries along the waterfront promenade to sample, and the city of Bodrum itself is known for its vibrant nightlife. Further along the coast, the polished town of Göcek is a boater’s paradise; watch glossy yachts and sailing boats jostle for space in the marinas, and dine on delicious Turkish cuisine in an atmospheric oceanfront restaurant.

A tranquil lagoon, Blue Flag beach and pine-clad mountains combine to make Ölüdeniz a picture of perfection; it’s no wonder it’s one of Turkey’s top locations for paragliding, with such awe-inspiring panorama. Beyond the beach, there’s the famous Lycian Way, one of the most scenic walking trails in the world, offering fascinating ancient ruins and staggering views.

CRUISE ALONG THE COAST

Take in all the beauty of the Turquoise Coast by boat, with a daytrip along the shimmering Aegean Sea in a boat or even a traditional Turkish gulet. You’ll see the coast from a different perspective, as well as have the chance to pause at beautiful bays and beaches, snorkelling and sunbathing in stunning surroundings. Many charter companies offer trips including a traditional Turkish lunch, such as meze and freshlybarbecued kebabs, to see you through the day.

GETTING THERE

BE PAMPERED AT A HAMMAM

A centuries-old wellness tradition, the Turkish Hammam is a completely rejuvenating experience. It begins in a steam room where the heat will open your pores and relax your muscles. You’ll then be tended to by a therapist who will wash, massage and exfoliate your skin before a refreshing cold-water rinse. We recommend visiting a Hammam at the beginning of your trip to avoid fading that holiday tan!

VISIT BODRUM CASTLE

Jutting proudly out into the sea, Bodrum Castle cuts an imposing figure. Originally built by the Knights of St John in the early 15th Century, today the castle is home to the Museum of Underwater Archaeology which houses the world’s oldest excavated shipwreck along with a host of other sunken ancient and medieval ships.

AMBASSADOR CRUISES

Ambassador Travel’s fleet of ten intimate yacht-style vessels take you to the small ports and hidden harbours that bigger cruise ships can’t reach, allowing you to island-hop in style along Croatia’s dazzling Dalmatian Coast. Ambassador Travel is a family-run company, with their ships built in Croatia and crewed exclusively by locals, so you’re guaranteed to get a real insight into the history, culture and cuisine of this beautiful country.

WHY CRUISE: Croatia’s myriad islands, stretched out along the Dalmatian Coast, can be tricky to explore independently if you want to see more than just a couple in a single trip. In the more popular destinations like Dubrovnik or Hvar, accommodation can be expensive and hard to come by during peak season, and you can end up spending a lot of time waiting around at transport hubs. But a small ship cruise allows you to eschew ferry timetables and guidebooks, instead relaxing in the knowledge that your itinerary and transport are all taken care of. With expert guides and insider knowledge, you can really get under the skin of Croatia and discover the locals’ favourite spots. And best of all, you only have to unpack once!

ACCOMMODATION: Ambassador’s yachts accommodate up to 36 passengers, with tastefully appointed cabins that make elegant use of the space. All cabins are air-conditioned, with satellite LCD TV, table and chair, in-room safe, luggage storage, portholes or picture windows, and a private ensuite bathroom with shower. Complimentary WiFi is available throughout the ship.

RESTAURANTS & BARS: Enjoy fresh local cuisine at the onboard restaurant. Your fare includes daily buffet breakfast, and delicious threecourse lunches depending on your itinerary. On your first night you’ll be welcomed on board with a special dinner, and there will usually also be a captain’s dinner during your voyage. For the ultimate indulgence. You’ll also find a choice of bars and comfortable lounges on board each ship, perfect for meeting and mingling with fellow guests.

LIFE ON BOARD: A Croatian small ship cruise is all about being on, near or in the water. Kick back on the sun deck, unwind in the outdoor

CRUISE & STAY ITINERARY

Jacuzzi or make a splash from the swimming platform at the rear of the yacht. Every voyage includes an English-speaking cruise manager, and you’ll enjoy informative guided shore excursions at selected ports, with wireless headsets provided so you can always hear your guide. You’ll typically make two stops a day, with opportunities to swim in hidden coves or relax on quiet beaches, though you will make longer stops in key destinations like Dubrovnik and Split.

Please note: Facilities do vary between vessels, so it’s best to give us a call to discuss your options.

ISLAND-HOPPING: All of Ambassador Travel’s cruises are 7 nights/8 days, sailing from Dubrovnik to Split and vice versa.

You will spend time exploring Dubrovnik, the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’, famed for its wonderfully preserved old town, as well as Split, Croatia’s second city, where much of the old centre is given over to Diocletian’s Palace, one of Europe’s most breathtaking Roman constructions. You will also visit smaller but no less beautiful old towns like Korcula, visit unspoilt islands like Vis and Bol.

Ideally pared with a hotel stay, you itinerary will typically allow for some time exploring Dubrovnik, the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’, famed for its wonderfully preserved old town, as well as Split, Croatia’s second city, where much of the old centre is given over to Diocletian’s Palace, one of Europe’s most breathtaking Roman constructions. You will also visit smaller but no less beautiful old towns like Korcula, visit unspoilt islands like Vis and Bol, and mix with the international jet-set on trendy Hvar.
