ITINERARY... Day 1 Arrive Sorrento Explore ancient sites,

discover idyllic islands and soak up views of spectacular coastlines

on this exciting southern Italy family adventure. Start by getting

acquainted with the enchanting seaside town of Sorrento and

learn where to find the best pizza and gelati in town. Days 2-7

Sorrento/Pompeii/Paestum/Capri Step into a living history

book on a visit to Pompeii. Frozen in time when Mt Vesuvius

erupted in 79AD, this ancient site provides an incredible snapshot

of what life was like in a prosperous Roman town. Why not choose

to scale the slopes of Mt Vesuvius for stunning vistas across the Bay

of Naples? In free time, perhaps set sail along the beautiful Amalfi

Coast. Stop off at one of the picturesque coastal villages and get

lost in the labyrinth of cobblestone laneways that snake up the

mountainside. Meet the most pampered buffalos in the world at

an agriturismo farm in Paestum. Taste delicious buffalo mozzarella

cheese and learn how it’s produced. Board a hydrofoil to the island

of Capri, with its lush sub-tropical gradens and cliffs plunging

into the sea. Weather permitting, take a boat to the island’s most

famous feature, the glistening Blue Grotto. Once sightseeing is

done, take a seat in the Piazza Umberto where adults can sample

the local speciality, limoncello (lemon liqueur). Take an optional

excursion to Herculaneum for another look at Roman life as it

was before Vesuvius erupted, then learn how to perfect pizza and

pasta in an interactive cooking class. Day 8 Depart Sorrento Say

“arrivederci” to this Italian escapade.

ITINERARY... Day 1 Arrive Mairena Arrive in this picturesque

village perched above the Mediterranean coast. Settle into the

traditionally restored guesthouse which will be home for the next

week. Surrounded by cultivated terraces and ancient waterways,

this is authentic Spanish-living at its best. Take a leisurely stroll to

adjust to the slower pace of life. Explore the cultivated terraces,

follow the ancient waterways and admire the beautiful simplicity

of the village. In the evenings, enjoy family dinners on the terrace

under the stars or by the cosy log fire. Days 2-7 Mairena Have

fun exploring this sun-drenched region - with an exciting array of

optional activities on offer, no time will be wasted. Spend a day

on a local farm and lend a hand with fruit picking or planting, or

perhaps admire local crafts and try basket weaving. Make the most

of the fresh produce available in the area by tasting local cheeses

or learning to whip up paella in a cooking class. Kids will get a kick

out of riding donkeys and helping milk goats, while parents will

love sampling award-winning wines at an organic vineyard. More

adventurous families may wish to take a guided hike to the peak

of El Morro, or go mountain biking or horse riding. There is also

the opportunity to take day trips to Granada or the stunning Cabo

de Gata-Nijar Natural Park, famous for its flamingos and stunning,

wild beaches and cliffs. After working up an appetite with days

full of exploration and adventure, return to the rustic comforts of

the guesthouse. Day 8 Depart Mairena Hit the road and leave

Mairena with a mind full of magical memories.

ITINERARY... Day 1 Arrive Inari Begin this adventure in the

picturesque village of Inari. Days 2-4 Inari Experience a magical

winter wonderland in this icy corner of the world. Begin the

morning with a huge Finnish breakfast to prepare for a big day

of snow-filled activities. Try kick-sledging, cross-country skiing or

tobogganing - there is something fun for all members of the family.

Venture deeper into the wilderness on an optional snowmobile

trip, where there is the chance to learn the secrets of ice-fishing,

dash across the flat expanse of frozen Lake Inari, visit a local craft

market to learn about traditional Sami handicrafts and, fingers

crossed, catch a glimpse of the famous luminosity of the Northern

Lights. For a thrilling ride, why not take the opportunity to visit

a husky camp and be pulled across the ice at high-speed by a

team of huskies? Here, the whole family can learn how to ‘mush

mush’ the husky team, while watching spectacular, snow-capped

scenery whizz by. There is the chance to visit a wild animal park

en route and learn about the Arctic fox, polecat and Arctic rabbit,

before warming up with a cup of hot berry juice around an open

fire. Visit the Sami Museum and discover the history and culture of

the indigenous people of this region. Travel by snowmobile and

sledges to track reindeer herds through pine forests and open

fields, and perhaps take the opportunity to feed them. Back in

the village, it’s time for more family fun in the snow or perhaps a

relaxing steam in the steaming sauna. Day 5 Depart Inari Soak

up the charms of Inari one last time before the frosty fun ends.

ITINERARY... Day 1 Arrive Dubrovnik Welcome to the ‘Pearl

of the Adriatic’. Wander the city walls for a bird’s-eye view of the

historic Old Town, then why not soak up the lively atmosphere

of this special place with a stroll along Placa, the pedestrian

promenade? Days 2-6 Dubrovnik Staying in the idyllic village

of Mlini, just south of the city, provides the perfect base to explore

the hidden treasures of Dubrovnik and its surrounds. Paddle a sea

kayak past the magnificent city walls en route to the lush island of

Lokrum. This beautiful nature reserve has many sea caves where

the water is an irridescent blue. The next day, saddle up for a bike

ride through the scenic valleys and vineyards of the Konavle region.

There’s an opportunity for a spot of wine tasting for the adults,

while the kids can feast on tasty dried figs. Follow the winding

serpentine path to the top of Mt Srdj for stunning views over the

city and out across the sparkling Adriatic Sea. Let the family decide

how to spend free time. Why not cross the border on a day trip to

see the Ottoman town of Mostar in Bosnia? Here, it is also possible

to explore an old Turkish house, visit a mosque, or wander through

the colourful bazaar. For the more adventurous, take the family

rafting back in Croatia. Alternatively, choose to get off the beaten

track and explore the countryside around Dubrovnik. Stop off

at Molunat for a leisurely swim at the beach, before heading on

to Ljuta for a village lunch. Day 7 Depart Dubrovnik Farewell

new friends and the charming city of Dubrovnik, as this relaxing

Croatian journey comes to an end.
