Visiting: Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, Albania, Greece, Egypt and the Mediterranean

Overview: 
This tour was very successful in 2011 and one of our most popular.  The itinerary really is something special, so we have decided that it be repeated for 2012 with a few itinerary adjustments to make provision for amended Black Sea cruising schedules. The combination of the coach touring down through the Balkans first followed by the leisurely cruise through the Black Sea and Mediterranean is an absolute winner. We visit so many places that have stamped their mark in history, sometimes for the wrong reasons but it is all just so interesting and stimulating.
Our coach journey commences in the Serbian capital of Belgrade and from there we work our way south through Bosnia, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, and Macedonia all the way down the peninsula to Greece. The region which has had such a chequered past over many periods in history offers visitors the chance to experience the cultural diversity, the historic sites and the natural wonders and beauty the region has to offer. From Thessaloniki in Northern Greece, we take a short flight to Istanbul for a 2 night stay in the city that bridges 2 continents.
To complement the coach tour, we have included a 10 night cruise commencing in Istanbul and cruising through the Black Sea before crossing back into the Mediterranean finishing in Athens, This cruise combines the mystique and wonder of the Black Sea with the majesty and history of ancient Turkey and the beauty of the Greek Islands.
