If you’ve got the energy, check out those cobblestone streets and dive headfirst into this Baroque Pugliese beauty. Later that day, you'll get a feel for the heel of Italy as you wander the charming twists and turns of this ancient town with the crew, soaking up thousands of years of history. Afterward, we’ll hit up a favorite local trattoria for one authentically delicious Italian meal with some more vino, for good measure. Welcome to Italy! arrive Day 2 - Lecce/Otranto OH Otranto Roll out early toward the white-washed walls of Otranto, a UNESCO World Heritage site hugging Puglia’s coast. Spend your morning strolling the Lungomare degli Eroi promenade, checking out cafes perched above the sea, or popping into the 11th-century cathedral’s Ossuary Chapel to marvel at the darkly beautiful altar of skulls and bones. Meet up for a seafood lunch before we head to the beach to soak up that Italian sun. Head to a beach club in the afternoon to float through that magical Mediterranean. That evening, we’ll find our favorite local chef, head to the market for supplies, and learn how to whip up some classic Pugliese specialties. After a family-style meal you’ll never forget, stroll the historic center and grab a well-earned gelato. Day by day EXPLORE Day 3 - Alb erobello & Matera HELLO ALBEROBELLO Today's adventure takes us to Alberobello, the land of cone-shaped trullo buildings that have hung around this area from as far back as the 14th century. Give your Italian a go with the local artisans, and grab a mid-morning espresso (or two, we’re not counting) as you check out the sights. Around noon, we’ll head out about an hour to Matera, stopping for lunch in the countryside—a patchwork of vineyards, olive groves, and wheat fields—along the way. After we get there, drop your bags, head out, and crisscross the snaking streets of one of the world’s oldest inhabited cities. With 9,000-year-old cave dwellings and a maze-like network of underground passages and chambers, you'll feel like you're staying in a real-life labyrinth. Head for dinner with friends, have a splash of vino (or two, common theme here), and take it all in. You might even start to recognize the views from a certain James Bond flick. CONNECT Day 4 - Ma tera MATERA ROCKS Your morning’s free, so sleep in and shake off that late-night or gather the crew and hop back into Matera’s rocky expanse. This ancient city is a twisting, turning tangle of corridors—try to check out the Casa Noha, the Church of Saint Mary of Idris, and the historic architecture along Via Di Ridola. When it's time for a bite, pull up a chair at one of Matera's outdoor eateries, have entirely too much pizza or pasta. That afternoon, we’re heading out and making our way down toward that world-famous Italian coast. Say hello to seaside paradise in Sorrento. The evening is free to explore so grab dinner with friends, stroll the Marina Grande, and don't miss the chance to sip limoncello, a local favorite. MARVEL Day 5 - Sorrento AMO sorrento There’s nothing quite like waking up to a Sorrento sunrise. After a bite at the hotel, it’s time to drive on over to Positano. Spend your day lounging with friends as you soak up one of the most picturesque towns along the entire Amalfi Coast. Hit Positano beach, or head toward the iconic Arienzo Beach Club for a splash of rosé and sea views. That evening, we’ll have a scenic dinner together in Positano, and then you can head to a subterranean seaside cave club for a one-of-a-kind good time to dance it up before heading home. INDULGE Day 6 - Capri Cruise to caPrI After catching up on our Positano night out over breakfast, we’re off on a private boat trip towards Capri. With a mix of rocky coves, towering mountains, historic ruins, and a whole slew of lavish bars and restaurants, this island’s fame is well-deserved. For lunch, we’ll all get together for a one-of-a-kind Italian meal cooked up right in front of us at our favorite spot in all of Capri. With your five course tasting menu, you'll try fresh vegetables from an organic onsite garden and plenty of local wine. After that, it's back to the boats as we cruise through more stunning views in the Bay of Naples back to Sorrento and the mainland. CRUISE Day 7 - Rome SEA and S UN Get breakfast with the crew, and then your morning’s free. Hit Sorrento’s waterfront boardwalk for some final Mediterranean fun or grab souvenirs for friends and family back home; not everyone gets to spend a week traveling from Puglia to the Amalfi Coast. Later on, we’ll meet up and head for Rome to make it nice and easy to catch your flight out tomorrow. After we get to the capital, you’ll get to share some final laughs with the crew as you drink up more of that delicious Italian wine and chow down on a final farewell feast. BOOK! Day 8 - Rome A ROMAN GOODBYE Grab one last bite at the hotel in Rome with your friends before you say your goodbyes and head on out. If you’re flying home, your trip leader can help you figure out the easiest way to get to the airport. If you’ve got a few days to keep traveling (lucky you), we’ve got plenty of recommendations in store. Grab a rental car, and keep on exploring what Italy has to offer. Maybe even head north to Tuscany , south to Sardinia , or take a train west toward Barcelona and the South of France . There’s nothing quite like traveling through Europe; if you’ve got the time, make the most of it—the Amalfi Coast and Puglia are epic, but there’s always more to see. "You may have the world, if I may have Italy." -Giuseppe Verdi FAST FACTS Fast Facts Just for fun Lemons grow abundantly along the Amalfi coast, and the citrusy scent is one of the distinguishing features of the area. The Rolling Stones wrote the song "Midnight Rambler" in Positano's cafés during a holiday. Puglia produces 60% of Italy’s olive oil and has over 50 million olive trees.

While we recommend flying into Florence, it's more budget friendly to book a roundtrip ticket to/from Rome and get a one way flight or train to Florence. You can also fly into Bologna or Pisa. On European trips, we stay as close to historic city centers as possible. This means your accommodations will often be on the small side, quirky, and unique (we love this!). We don't spend a ton of time in Florence, so we recommend getting in a day early to explore Florence a bit on your own if you have a lot on your Florence must-see list.

BOOK “Don’t talk about heaven if you’ve never been to Bali.” – Toba Beta FAST FACTS Fast facts Just for fun If you think it’s hard to see all of Indonesia, you’re not wrong. The nation is made up of a staggering 17,000 islands. Indonesia is home to the Komodo Dragon; growing up to 10 feet in length, it’s the world’s largest lizard. This country’s all about the natural world; in fact, it’s home to the second-highest level of biodiversity anywhere on earth. Trip notes While we can't guarantee private rooms in any Bali hotel, you should book your trip earlier if you prefer one, as they usually fill up. We’ll be taking a number of ferries and boat trips, so plan accordingly if you get seasick (Dramamine is your friend!). Indonesia lies directly on the equator; that means it’s usually hot and humid. Most Bali vacation packages head to more touristy Kuta Beach or Seminyak Beach; we purposefully bypass those in search of more authentic secluded paradise.

If you taste hints of something familiar, you’ve got the right idea. Slovenian cuisine tends to borrow the best of the best from nearby Italy, Austria, and Hungary. ​ So, eat up and share some laughs; you’ve made it to one of Europe’s most beautiful, off-the-beaten-track destinations. Discover Day 2 - Bled Best of Bled After grabbing a bite, it's time to soak up the sights of one of the continent's iconic natural beauties. ​ Meet up with the rest of the crew before we head to the lake for a cruise over to Bled Island. With the Alps as your mammoth green backdrop, we'll hop ashore for a bit of exploration and a local sweet-treat cooking class.

From there, things are only looking up…literally. We're going to ride the wild Vogel Mountain cable car for views that'll have you swearing in Slovenian. From a hair under a mile high, you'll look out over endless peaks, rugged pine forests, and the glassy glow of Lake Bohinj. ​ We’ll return to Bled in the afternoon, and the rest of the day is yours to enjoy at leisure.

Chiseled by the Radovna River, this 250-meter-deep crevice is one of Slovenia’s most loved natural wonders. Stroll along the elevated wooden pathway that hugs the craggy rock walls of this Slovenian showstopper and peer down to roaring blue-green rapids and waterfalls. From there, we’ll grab a coffee, and then we’re rolling on to the ancient riverside charmer, Maribor. Of course, before we get there, we’ll need a bite, so it only makes sense to stop off at a picturesque local farm for a mouthwatering taste of the countryside with the nicest family around. That evening, we’ll wind into Slovenia’s second city. Wander Day 5 - Maribor, Ljubljan a Wine Time Grab a bite in the hotel; you’ll need the fuel and the base layer.

We’ll hit up a vineyard that’s been producing some of the country’s finest wines since the 1800s as we discover what makes this region so great for a glass of red or white.

Drop your bags at the hotel and then head out with the crew for a bite to welcome you to town. Relax Day 6 - Ljubljana country Cuisine Say good morning to the big city...well, the biggest city in Slovenia, that is. Ljubljana may not be Europe’s largest capital, but we assure you, what it lacks in size it more than makes up for in atmosphere and character. ​ You’ll be getting a taste of the local, the natural, the wild, and the delicious as you head out into Slovenia’s captivating countryside today. We’ll meet up with our very own outdoorsman extraordinaire, and then we’ll wander into the wilderness for a midday hike to forage wild herbs. It’s all part of our culinary quest—after hitting the woods, we’ll head to the kitchen to learn how to whip up a meal from our bounty under the watchful eye of our adventurous chef. In the afternoon, head back to town, explore the capital’s Renaissance-infused streets, and grab dinner and drinks with friends. Hike Day 7 - Ljubljana Ljubljana loungin' Grab an early breakfast or catch up on some rest; today's all about appreciating this absurdly beautiful capital. ​ In the morning, you'll have the option of joining a cruise of the Ljubljanica River and a walking tour to take it all in. With romantic stone bridges and nature that seeps into the city at every corner, it's easy to fall hard for lovely Ljubljana. If you're in the market for souvenirs for friends back home, stroll down to Plečnik's Market between the Triple and Dragon bridges. Or, if you're after more nature, consider organizing a day trip to the karst wonderland of Postojna Cave and the impressive stone 16th-century Predjama Castle. Get back to the capital by the evening before we all head out for one final bite of Slovenia and a few more bottles of wine to toast to our fellow travel mates as we bid this beautiful country farewell. BOOK! Day 8 - Ljubljana Nasvide nje It's time to say goodbye to the crew, so grab one more laugh with breakfast before you roll out. This trip may be in the books, but all that means is that it's the perfect time to start planning your next adventure. ​ If you've got extra time in Europe, consider popping over to the Basque Country for some of our favorite eats in the entire world, down to Crete for epic seaside views, or to the Tuscan hills for more wine in paradise. ​ Thanks for coming, and keep on exploring—there's always more of the world to see. “As you travel around Slovenia, think of the tales the hills could tell you.

After touching down on Greece’s largest island, head to your hotel in the sun-kissed seaside town of Agios Nikolaos. Fringed by arid mountains, this colorful eastern Crete capital is home to plenty of mythical tales (we’re not far from Zeus’s hometown, after all); if you get in early, head out and start diving into tales of a legendary past. In the evening, we’ll all meet up in the hotel lobby and venture out for drinks and our first taste of Cretan food - said to be the best in Greece! Get to know your travelmates over local wine and fresh local recipes. ARRIVE Day 2 - A gios Nikolaos Water world Have breakfast with friends at the hotel and then grab your shades and sunscreen; we’ve got a boat to catch. ​ By mid-morning, we’ll be heading north from the docks at Agios Nikolaos hugging rugged, rocky coastlines on a traditional Cretan caique. You’ll cruise past the sunken city of Olous (which archaeologists believe was submerged back in the second century by an earthquake) before winding up on the rocky shores of an ancient fortressed island to explore ruins that have withstood the test of time. ​ We’ll cruise back through the bay for a barbeque in paradise before diving into the oh-so-blue waters off Kolokytha Beach. After a day at sea, hit the town with your new friends. Day by day cruise Day 3 - Agios N., Rethymno Ancient Treasure Grab a light breakfast before we head out to explore an epic past and one delicious present. We’ll get things rolling in the hills of a nearby olive oil farm, where you’ll tour the facilities, learn the ins and outs of time-honored techniques, and settle down for some farm fresh eats (think cheeses, honey, and a few secret specialties). As this is one all-encompassing experience, you’ll even step into the kitchen to learn how to cook like a Cretan yourself. After dining locally, we’ll make the short ride over to Knossos Palace to check out the crumbling stone structures of Crete’s oldest Bronze Age ruins (they originated around 7,000 BC!). That evening, keep rolling on west to Rethymno, where we’ll get together for a delicious group dinner. FeAST Day 4 - Rethymno Arts Enclave Today, we’re cruising over to the magical little town of Margarites to mix in some art with our Cretan adventure. ​ This colorful stone village just so happens to be the pottery capital of the island, so it’s only fitting that we’ll learn about ceramics, from the local raw materials to the finished product from some talented locals. After a brief intro, it’s time to get your hands dirty and get potting with the best of them. ​ We’ll grab a delicious local lunch nearby, and then in the evening, wind our way back to Rethmyno, where you can head out for dinner and drinks with friends. UNWIND Day 5 - Rethymno Lakeside view Enjoy a morning of leisure and then we’re off once more, this time towards Crete’s largest freshwater lake. ​ We’ll wind up on the golden shores of Lake Kournas around noon for an afternoon of swimming, paddleboarding, and relaxing on one of the island’s greenest lagoons. So kick back on a sunbed, grab a tropical cocktail, and soak up the good life. After a day of lakeside lounging and a traditional Greek lunch with one amazing lake view, we’ll make our way to Chania for one final seaside setup. The evening is free to explore the 14th-century Venetian harbor with new friends. EXPLORE Day 6 - Chania Cave to coast Fuel up on Greek coffee and a delicious breakfast before heading out to explore Southwestern Crete! ​ We’ll get things started lounging along one of the island’s most spectacular sandy stretches as you discover the one special secret that has made this particular corner of coast so famous. And then, after some seaside chillin’, we’ll head up toward the rocky mountains that pepper this region, where you’ll say hello to the massive cliffside chambers of the Agia Sofia Cave and walk among enormous stalagmites and stalactites. ​ From there, we’ll wind our way to one of the most famous monasteries on the whole island. This rocky 17th-century Eastern Orthodox beauty hangs high above the coast overlooking the Libyan Sea. After a day of exploring, head back to town; the night is yours. Taste Day 7 - Chania Country Feast Get ready to eat your way through Chania as we explore one delectably fresh farmer's market. ​ In the morning, we'll meet up with our expert local guide, who will take us on our tour of the town to learn all about the region's local produce. After savoring the goods, we'll make our way downtown to continue through the shops and cafes of Chania's colorful streets. And then, in the afternoon, it's time for a drink or two; you've earned it. Aperol spritz, anyone? ​ We'll all get together one last time that night to learn a traditional Cretan dance before we sit down for a delicious, music-filled farewell dinner. BOOK! Day 8 - Chania Antío Sas Find your friends and grab one final bite at the hotel before you you head back to reality. The history, culture, and food of Greece are always waiting, so come back when you can. ​ If you’ve got some more time to spare, well, this magical country has plenty more in store for you. So keep on cruisin’ through Crete or go island hopping and check out some more magical Mediterranean beauty. I knew that no matter what door you knock on in a Cretan village, it will be opened for you. A meal will be served in your honor, and you will sleep between the best sheets in the house. In Crete, the stranger is still the unknown god. Before him, all doors and all hearts are opened. - Nikos Kazantzakis FAST FACTS Fast Facts Just for fun Crete’s caves are home to more than a few legends. Zeus, arguably the most famous God in Greek mythology, calls one of them his birthplace. We’re not exaggerating about the history. Civilization on Crete goes back to the 7,000s BC! Crete is home to the Olive tree of Vouves. At more than 2,000 years of age, it’s one of the world’s oldest. Trip notes While we can’t guarantee private rooms, you sho uld book your trip earlier if you prefer one, as they usually fill up. Summers in Crete are hot, dry, and sunny, so pack accordingly. Ensure your passport is valid for 6 months after your return date. On European trips, we stay as close to historic city centers as possible. This means your accommodations will often be on the small side, quirky, and unique (we love this!). All activities are weather dependent; in the unlikely event that we are unable to run an activity, we will have a suitable alternative in place. More information regarding visa requirements and Covid restrictions can be found here . SEE DATES & BOOK LEARN MORE About Crete Of more than 200 inhabited Greek islands, Crete is the largest. However, it’s not the size that makes this fascinating place important; it’s the history. Many archaeologists and historians consider this mountainous stretch of land the birthplace of modern Europe. While settlement date to the 7th millennium BC, stone tools that have been found on the island, are believed to be 130,000 years old—meaning early hominids most likely existed here at some point. ​ ​ ​ GOOD TO KNOW ​ Greek is the national language; however, those on the island speak with a very specific dialect known as Cretan Greek. All of Greece uses the euro for currency. Tipping is not mandatory nor expected from locals; for tourists 10% is appreciated at restaurants. Flights Flights Fly into Heraklion Airport (HER) We recommend buying a roundtrip flight to Athens and then booking a a separate regional flight to Crete if you want to save money. You'll need to be in Agios Nikolaos by 2pm on Day 1. From Heraklion Airport to Agios Nikalaos takes about 50 minutes by taxi. ​ Fly out of Chania (CHQ) We recommend flying out of Chania or extending your trip and enjoying a few more days in Greece. If you've booked a roundtrip flight from Athens make sure you have enough connection time to make your transfer. Want to check out flights for your trip?
