Worldwide Holidays 2023-24 1st Edition

Crete The largest and most populated of the Greek Islands, Crete is said to be the birthplace of Zeus, king of the Greek gods. There’s more to the island than history and mythology including striking mountain scenery, fertile valleys and over 650 miles of stunning coastline, not to mention the longest summer in all of Greece. Halkidiki This three-pronged peninsula juts dramatically into calm, shallow waters of the Aegean Sea. Each point offers a uniquely different character, yet all three boast the same laid-back atmosphere, breathtaking scenery and pristine white-sand beaches that make this peninsular increasingly popular. Rhodes With its blend of cosmopolitan and traditional culture coupled with its rich history and stunning beaches, it’s no wonder Rhodes has become the most visited island in Greece. If you’re looking to journey into its culture, potter about on the stunning coasts, immerse yourself in the crystal-clear sea, or party the night away, Rhodes has everything you could want. Must see highlights Knossos Palace, Crete The Minoans of Crete are accredited with being the first truly civilised people in Europe and left behind a magnificent Palace, which holds clues as to their way of life and the influence they had on subsequent civilisations. Rhodes Old Town Rhodes Town is a great place to get lost wandering the Medieval maze of streets which date back to the Byzantine Empire. Experience the sublime architecture of this enchanting Old Town. What you need to know Currency: Euros Visa: Not required Flight Guide: Prices are based on selected flights from London airports.
