Europe

Europe

Two European countries in particular, Italy and Greece, are crawling with world class sites and monuments. In Italy along there are 53 cultural World Heritage sites and a further 31 tentative listings, all of a staggering variety. From the white-tipped peaks of the Dolomites to the orange groves at the foot of Mount Etna, this destination offers a unique insight into our cultural past. And Greece, home to sun-bleached ruins and the setting for legendary heroes, is perhaps the ultimate destination for the historically curious traveller. Its famously beautiful island groups include the Dodecanese and Cyclades whose importance lies way beyond their stunning sun kissed seascapes.

Albania 1 Sep 2025

Albania 1 Sep 2025

Albania holds an array of splendours set in a dramatic scenery of mountains, deep blue seas and wide plains but perhaps the most important element of this tour is Oliver Gilkes, who started working here just after the fall of the old regime. Oliver Gilkes spent 30 years excavating in this fascinating country. His observations add interest and depth to our study of this land in ancient times and he is a well-known and well-loved figure here and the best guide to the archaeology of this country.
