Why choose the Mediterranean region for your next adventure?

The Mediterranean region is a destination with many facets. It offers an exceptional variety of landscapes to explore, where the mountains often meet the sea. You can cross the arid landscapes of Crete one day and relax on one of its beaches the next. This unique combination makes it possible to create holidays rich in contrasts, whether in Greece, Croatia or along the Italian coast.

Each Mediterranean country has a distinctive cultural and culinary identity. Our itineraries are designed to immerse you in these local traditions, with opportunities to meet people and discover the region’s heritage. This ensures an authentic holiday, away from the beaten track.

Our holiday options: self-guided or in a group, the choice is yours

Self-guided holidays

For those who enjoy independence, our self-guided holidays are the ideal choice. We arrange all the logistics in advance: booking accommodation, transporting your luggage and providing a detailed route guide. You can set off with peace of mind, walking or cycling at your own pace, on your own, as a couple or with friends.

Group holidays

If you enjoy travelling with others and would like to benefit from a local expert’s knowledge, our group holidays are for you. An enthusiastic guide accompanies you throughout your holiday, sharing their knowledge of the terrain, wildlife, plants and local culture. It is an excellent way to learn from others and travel safely. Explore our group walking holidays, for example.

Walking, cycling or both: what will your Mediterranean adventure be?

Walking, for a closer connection with nature

Walking is undoubtedly the best way to soak up the atmosphere of Mediterranean landscapes. Our walking holidays take you along legendary trails such as the GR20 in Corsica, past the hilltop villages of the Cinque Terre or through Turkey’s centuries-old olive groves.

Cycling, to explore the landscapes at your own pace

A cycling holiday offers a different perspective, allowing you to cover greater distances while staying close to the natural surroundings. Picture yourself riding along the Dalmatian coast in Croatia or exploring the Greek islands. For a combined experience, our bike and boat holidays in the Ionian Islands bring together the pleasures of sailing and cycling.

When to visit the Mediterranean?

You can explore the Mediterranean almost all year round, but the shoulder seasons are often the most pleasant for outdoor activities. Spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) offer mild temperatures, flourishing nature and fewer visitors. This is the ideal time for walking in spring in gentle sunshine or travelling in autumn when the landscapes take on warm colours.

Broaden your horizons beyond the Mediterranean

Travellers who appreciate the Mediterranean’s contrasts are often drawn to the island atmosphere of other Atlantic regions, such as the island of Madeira or the volcanic landscapes of the Canary Islands. If you enjoyed our walking holidays in Greece, you might also enjoy our cycling tours in Greece for a different perspective. Mediterranean France also lends itself wonderfully to exploring on two wheels, particularly on our cycling holidays in Provence.
