Destination Report - Grecian 2014

Ramblers Walking Holidays

Ramblers Worldwide Holidays has added a number of exciting new holidays to its extensive Greek collection for 2014. These include:

 

A Knight's Island  

A 7, 8 or 11 night, leisurely walking holiday on the glorious island of Rhodes. Because of its strategic position, it is steeped in a fascinating and diverse history linked to The Ottomans, Italians, Knights of St John and the Persians.

 

Highlights include, the UNESCO World Heritage medieval old city of Rhodes Town with its impressive museums and monuments; the Acropolis at Lindos; the sheltered harbour of St Paul; the Palace of the Grand Master; great walks through valleys and pinewoods; excellent beaches and convivial hospitality at the Plaza Hotel, ideally located on the edge of Rhodes Town.

 

Price from £825 per person for 7 nights includes return flights, transfers, half board accommodation and the services of a dedicated tour leader.  Departures from 12 April 2014.

 

Tinos and Andros 

A two week holiday in the northern Cyclades reckoned to offer some of the finest walking in Greece. After spending a night in the attractive harbour town of Rafina on the Greek mainland, one takes a ferry to the island of Tinos - popular with pilgrims visiting the church of Panagia Evangelistra.  Also famed for its 1000 Venetian dovecotes!

 

Next, one hops over to nearby Andros the most northern island on the Archipelago with its springs, streams, waterfalls, ancient villages, superb beaches and verdant landscape. 

 

Both islands are a paradise for nature lovers and because they are relatively undiscovered offer a great opportunity to enjoy traditional Greece.

 

Price from £1,039 per person for 14 nights includes return flights, transfers, ferry travel between islands, half board accommodation and the services of a dedicated tour leader.  Departures from 14 May 2014.

 

Hidden Halkidiki

A one week holiday exploring the stunning peninsular of Sithonia. A perfect destination for nature lovers who can savour pine and oak forests, olive groves, vineyards, golden beaches, picturesque harbours and traditional fishing hamlets.

 

From the base in the beautiful Athena Pallas Village, the walks follow ancient trails and paths to the Mount Holomontas range rich in flora and fauna and providing wonderful panoramic views.  Mount Athos can be seen on the eastern side of the island and Greece's second city, Thessalonika is within easy reach of the hotel.

 

Price from £690 per person for 7 nights includes return flights, transfers, half board accommodation and the services of a dedicated tour leader.  Departures from 17 May 2014.
