GREECE, CYPRUS & TURKEY
THE LAND OF THE GODS
An archaeologists dream, the lands of the Aegean can justly claim to be the Cradle of Civilisation. Yet how easy it is to stray off the beaten track, in a region so blessed with natural beauty, once the playground of the gods. Enjoy the celebrated hospitality, cuisine and local colour in the gentlest of climates; embark on one of our seatreks aboard a Greek caique or Turkish gület; hike in the tauros,or explore the heart of the Ottoman Empire.

EARTH MATTERS
KEY TO THE EXPLORE ETHOS IS TO TRAVEL IN SMALL GROUPS IN ORDER TO MINIMISE OUR IMPACT, GET OFF THE BEATEN TRACK AND CLOSER TO THE LOCAL PEOPLE. NOWHERE IS THIS MORE TRUE THAN GREECE, CYPRUS AND TURKEY WHERE OUR TOURS OFFER UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES TO MEET SOME OF THE MOST HOSPITABLE PEOPLE IN EUROPE AND LEARN ABOUT THEIR CULTURE, A WORLD AWAY FROM THE HECTIC RESORTS.
