Peloponnese & Ionian IslesWhy not join us to explore beyond the tourist façade of these close, but very different neighbours?


There's so much to see and do in the Eastern Mediterranean and as experts in the region, Explore have one of the most comprehensive collections of tours to the region including holidays that cruise the clear waters of the Aegean to trips that explore the ancient sites of the ancient Greeks.


Our one-week cruises on the Greek caique, Croatian Old Timer and the Turkish gullet can be combined with other tours that include a cultural element to form the perfect 2-week break. Alternatively, you can trek and walk on a range of trips from the demanding an ascent of biblical Mount Ararat where Noah’s ark is said to have beached after the great flood to an easy ramble on our trip to Northern Cyprus. There are plenty of opportunities to discover ancient sites throughout any of the countries you travel to in this region with Delphi, Ephesus, Aphrodisias and Olympia being the highlights.
