Why we love it

“We kick off in Lisbon, Portugal's famed foodie capital, where you'll sample pasteis de nata to a fado soundtrack, explore charming rooftop bars and boutique retreats, and embark on day trips to the coastal haven of Cascais. The adventure continues as you delve into the heart of Alentejo, where time slows, and authenticity reigns supreme. Immerse yourself in the rich gastronomic heritage, relishing hearty dishes and exquisite wines. Uncover the secrets of olive oil production and explore emblematic cork forests. The ultimate short-haul, winter sun escape.”

Douro Valley

Life seems to run at a slower pace in the Douro Valley with incredible local produce and exceptional landscapes taking centre stage. A river cruise is a must-do and we can get you access to some of the most exclusive wineries for tastings. You can either self-drive or get a road transfer here and most hotels are around one and a half hours from Porto.

Porto

On the banks of the Douro, where the romantic charm of ancient architecture meets the pulsating rhythm of contemporary cool. It's a foodie haven, with incredible local restaurants and hands-on culinary experiences down every cobbled alley.

Istanbul

A city that connects cultures, continents and history - we love Istanbul and recommend at least 3 nights to explore it. A sunset cruise along the Bosphorus, foodie tour of the markets and local hamman spa are highly recommended. Access wise, it doesn't get much better with incredible international and domestic routes.

Rome

'The Eternal City' is home to many incredible big-name attractions and plenty of hidden gems. We are very careful with our hotel choices here, ensuring you are tucked away from the crowds where possible and catering for all tastes. Rome is a city that needs a guide for at least half a day and we can get you great access. Flights and trains connect the city very well to the world.

Cappadocia

Beautiful landscapes and a magnificent history make this one of Turkey's most visited destinations. Two nights should be a minimum and the hot air balloon ride over Pigeon Valley is the reason most people visit the area. We also recommend visiting the ancient churches, a geographical and historical masterpiece. The domestic airport of Kayseri connects the region to the rest of the country.

We recommend 4 days

Bodrum Coast

Turkey's top beach destination and a truly stunning peninsula with hundreds of kilometres of coastline to explore. The high-end hotels here are as good as anywhere in Europe and we highly recommend a private boat trip. There is an international airport here and the region is well-connected by road.

Serra Da Estrela

Home to the highest point in Portugal, skiing in the winter and incredible hiking in the summer, this is one of the more off-the-beaten-track spots where rugged peaks and sprawling valleys create a wilderness sanctuary that calls to the intrepid souls. Immerse yourself in a world of dramatic landscapes, where ancient villages cling to the mountainside and starlit skies ignite the imagination.


Available on request
We recommend 2 days

Santa Cruz

A short drive from Lisbon, Santa Cruz is one of Portugal's more hidden gems that combines brilliantly with the capital. A surfers paradise and with a laid-back, hippy feel, this is a place to unwind and relax. We recommend at least 3 nights to make the most of the slower pace.
