Introducing Contiki’s Plus range. Same social travel. Just a bit fancy.

Let’s be real, Greek Island Hopping is already a gem. Mykonos, Paros, Santorini, Ios & Athens. Sand. Sea. Souvlaki. Sunsets. Buzzing party nights and lazy sun-soaked days. Charming villages, natural coves and plenty of ancient history to seek your teeth into. It’s a glorious adventure that suits every type of traveller, and considering how pricy these islands can be, it’s a pretty damn good deal too (if we may say so ourselves).

So, what’s the cherry on top?

Greek Island Hopping Plus brings you all the beauty, beaches, history and nightlife of the regular version. But it’s, you know, a bit more fancy. So you’ll be sleeping twin-share instead of multi-share. You’ll have swimming pools at every property bar one (often enjoying sweeping sea views). And you’ll be staying in 3-4* hotels with gorgeous communal areas. That may not be worth splashing a bit extra for everyone, but hey, if

Travelers’ Choice Awards (2)

TripI’m going to offer you some travel advice in line with the real story of my life. I’m gonna tell you my story but on the finish of every episode I will let you know right away the lesson I actually have realized from a number of trips I made which I actually have compiled.

Lesson – I was really terrified by this trip, and I promised my self I won’t ever never ever ride that machine again. My kid is so dizzy and vomiting, so remember to bring plastic bag. Trump has made the Middle East and the battle against Islamic State a spotlight of his young presidency. He ordered the U.S. Navy to fire cruise missiles at a Syrian airfield after a chemical weapons attack in Syria earlier this month.

10 Very Best Things To Do In Bari, Italy – Hand Luggage Only

Bari is one of the best Italian cities to visit if you’re exploring the gems of Southern Italy. With centuries of history, loads of foodie spots and a gorgeous centre to stroll around, Bari is the perfect Italian city to visit. In fact, there are heaps of the best things to do in Bari dotted all across the city.

This all makes it perfect for a long weekend break – or the starting point for your Puglia adventure. 

For most of us, Bari will be the starting point to explore the wider Puglia region (which is gorgeous, by the way) due to its airport. We ‘tacked on’ our visit to Bari with our road trip around Puglia and the iconic city of Matera. It’s a perfect starting (or ending point) for a trip and so worth spending a few days there. 

So, to make your trip that bit easier, I’ve

Why we’re proud to partner with Movember

I couldn’t put it any better than Ollie, one of the MoBros who explored Europe with us last summer. As he sat in Venice, sipping an Aperol (as you do), he said “It’s great when you travel, because you have a community of guys to feel and speak to each other about something other the usual small talk and work.”

And that’s the point. Travel gives us a space away from the daily grind to open up with people who listen. It gives us community when we can’t find it back home. And through showing us the world in all of its dizzying, vast beauty, it can even put some of our personal problems into perspective. 

So we’re proud to partner with Movember. Because whether it’s raising awareness by growing a wispy ‘tache, or giving guys a space where they can connect under the Italian sun, we share their ambitions.

One Health Pass replaced with PHL’s ‘simpler’ eARRIVAL CARD system

eARRIVAL CARD to replace One Health Pass in the Philippines

Team Out of Town Blog Hub (Outoftownblog.com) – The Department of Tourism (DOT) on Friday (Oct. 21) welcomed the national government’s introduction of the eARRIVAL CARD as a means to provide a more convenient and stress-free experience for Filipino and foreign travelers arriving in the Philippines.

According to Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco, the inception of the eARRIVAL CARD as a replacement for the existing One Health Pass (OHP) entry requirement for travelers fulfills part of the Marcos administration’s objective to ease the country’s remaining stringent entry protocols to attract more travelers and boost the country’s tourism recovery.
