GREECE
While films like Mamma Mia may have played a role in Greece's popularity, this country rightfully finds a place on many people's travel bucket lists. Situated in southeastern Europe, Greece is a treasure trove of ancient history, boasting 18 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Acropolis of Athens, Mystras, Mount Athos, Meteora, and the Temple of Asclepius at Epidaurus, among others. For those not drawn to history and architecture, Greece also stands out for having one of the most delectable and renowned cuisines globally. Indulge in Mediterranean delights such as fresh Greek salads, grilled fish and seafood, and flavorful cheeses.
A quintessential Greek experience involves sailing across and exploring the Greek islands. While certain islands like Santorini and Mykonos already enjoy immense popularity, there is a collection of quieter, up-and-coming destinations. Among these are islands like Crete, Milos, and Paros, providing a more serene and authentic Greek island experience for those seeking a less-traveled path.

CROATIA
Croatia, with its hundreds of beautiful islands, national parks, cascading waterfalls, and historic towns, stands out as one of the most picturesque countries in Europe, if not the world. Along the Dalmatian Coast, the shimmering blue ocean creates a stunning backdrop, separating the mainland from the islands. The crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea provide an opportunity to explore Croatia by cruise.
Having originated in Croatia, our company has proudly been the largest tour operator for the past five years, offering Croatia cruises on our privately operated vessels. A week spent cruising the Croatian islands allows you to visit six or seven different islands, including popular destinations like Hvar, Brac, Vis, and Korcula, as the ship docks overnight in each port. Each morning brings a new island to explore, with breakfast and lunch served on board, and opportunities to swim in the inviting waters.
For those who prefer not to cruise the Croatian islands, we offer personalized trips across Croatia. This includes booking accommodation and tours in renowned cities such as Dubrovnik, Split, Hvar, and Istria, among others. Additionally, we can organize day trips to national parks like Plitvice and Krka, known for their picture-perfect landscapes. Whatever your preference, we are dedicated to providing a memorable and tailored experience in the breathtaking country of Croatia.

SRI LANKA
Situated on the southern coast of India, Sri Lanka is a captivating island boasting vibrant forests, colorful cities, and idyllic beaches. Thanks to its relatively compact size, Sri Lanka facilitates easy travel around the island, allowing exploration of diverse destinations such as the capital, Colombo, Galle, Ella, and Kandy, among others. Iconic experiences in Sri Lanka include climbing Sigiriya Rock, taking the train from Colombo to Kandy, and visiting the major sites and temples in the Cultural Triangle.
As we step into the new year, our specialists have identified some emerging destinations in Sri Lanka, with the Pekoe Trail being a noteworthy addition for active travelers. This heritage tea trail spans over seven valleys and traverses hundreds of tea plantations, covering a distance of 300km. Along this trail, hikers encounter stunning waterfalls, lakes, unique architecture, and historic sites. While people have been walking this trail for centuries, it's now possible to embark on shortened versions, hiking from one boutique hotel to the next, making it a compelling addition to any adventurer's bucket list.
