About this trip

Journey through three of the Mediterranean’s most captivating islands—Corsica, Sardinia, Malta, Cyprus & Crete—on this richly layered exploration of history, landscapes, and living traditions. From dramatic coastlines and UNESCO-protected nature reserves to ancient archaeological sites and vibrant port cities, the journey blends natural beauty with deep cultural discovery.

The tours in Spring are one day longer than the Fall tours as we attend the traditional festival of San Efisio, in Cagliari, Sardinia.

Travel by ferry, private vehicle, and short flights as you explore medieval citadels, seaside villages, and historic town centers. Along the way, expert local guides bring each destination to life, while a balanced pace allows time for independent exploration, local flavors, and memorable Mediterranean moments.

This tour is offered annually on the same dates. To book this tour click "See Availability." A calendar pops up. Click the date of the tour to continue to the booking page.

Price stated is valid until November 23, 2026. For bookings after this date the price will increase.
