Coastal Gems Collection

Italy is always a good idea. But with 4,900mi (7,900km) of coastline to explore, it’s tricky to narrow down. To make things easy, consider our most popular adventure, Walking the Amalfi Coast, which includes the Path of the Gods, arguably the most scenic coastal walk in the world. Alternatively, get a taste of island life on Cycling in Sicily, a magical blend of coastlines, culture and cuisine.

The best way to explore the coastlines of Spain? Take to two wheels. A cycling adventure allows you to cover plenty of ground, but with the flexibility to stop for a sea swim, explore a seaside village or tuck into tapas. You can ride all the way from Barcelona to Valencia on our Cycling the Mediterranean Coast adventure, or experience the cycling pros’ favourite destination on Cycling Girona and the Catalan Coast.

Craving culture, cuisine and a little… je ne sais quois? The coasts of France offer them in buckets (and spades). In the north, you can ride from Brittany to Normandy on our Cycle Northern France adventure, uncovering Second World War history and the best oysters around. Alternatively, join our Mountains & Villages of Corsica trip to experience a unique European island with its own culture, cuisine and language.

On the Greek islands, myths and monsters meet the Mediterranean – the perfect recipe for an epic adventure. There’s no point rushing it either, so slip on your walking sandals for a go-slow hiking holiday. Your options are plentiful, but for classic Greek-island beauty and legendary views, join us on Hiking the Dodecanese Islands. Alternatively, take your adventure to the largest Greek island on Walking in Crete.
