Contiki has introduced four itineraries around the Adriatic Sea in its 2017-18 brochure.
The escorted tours specialist for
18 to 35-year-olds offers a 15-day Adriatic Unearthed tour that takes in the Amalfi coast, Bari, Plitvice Lakes, Dubrovnik, Venice, Rome and Corfu. Travellers can start and end their trip in Rome, from £1,689, or in Split, from £1,699.
CHEERS: Contiki’s new tours include visits to Venice
An Adriatic Horizons tour starts
from £919, while Adriatic Spirit is from £955. Both are for eight days.
The Horizons itinerary takes
a clockwise route from Rome, visiting Florence, Venice, Ljubljana, Plitvice Lakes and Split; and the Spirit itinerary heads anti- clockwise from Split taking in Dubrovnik, Tirana, Corfu, Bari, the Amalfi coast and ending in Rome. Donna Jeavons, Contiki sales and
marketing director for the UK and Europe, said: “Our exciting new Adriatic trips bring together iconic favourites like Italy and the Greek islands, with sites of breathtaking beauty, such as Plitvice Lakes in Croatia, plus off-the-beaten-track experiences in eastern Europe and some truly stunning coastlines.” The four new Adriatic itineraries
are part of Contiki’s In-Depth Explorer trips and feature experiences such as visiting Unesco World Heritage Sites at the Bay of Kotor and Plitvice Lakes plus guided walking tours through cities
such as Venice, Florence and Rome.

Diamond plans to steam ahead with 10 new no-fly rail trips
Diamond Rail Holidays has unveiled 10 new no-fly itineraries in its 2017 brochure, including travel from London by Eurostar. The itineraries feature the
Lake Garda & Little Trains of the Dolomites route for 10 days, from £1,049; Swiss Alpine Discovery & the Furka Steam Train for seven days, from £1,099; and Berlin & Classic Saxony Steam historical route for eight days, from £1,229. Tim Fleming, sales and business
development manager for Diamond Rail Holidays, said: “More and more people are coming to realise that Europe’s network of high-speed trains extends way beyond destinations served by the Eurostar, and that travel by rail is a fantastic alternative to flying. “Travel by rail in Europe is easy
and affordable, and passengers can quickly find themselves whisked off to the Italian Lakes, the Spanish Coast and beyond.” The new brochure also features city breaks, winter itineraries and
Europe’s smaller rail routes.
