 Greece
 

Greece, a constant favourite for Australians, is showing a new trend for 2025 - exploring the "less" popular islands, which is coming more popular.  Discover historic ruins, fascinating museums and archaeological sites. Walk in the footsteps of ancient civilisations at Delphi, Olympia, Rhodes and Meteora. Sail the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean or island hop at your own pace. Explore quaint villages and immerse yourself in the local lifestyle.

When to Go: The summer months between June and August are when Greece comes alive. Athens can tip the thermometer over the 30-degree mark, making the Mediterranean, Aegean and Ionian seas look so appealing. Follow the crowd and head to the coastal islands where the sultry daytime air is offset by cool, nightly sea breezes. A word of warning though – if you’re looking for a quiet holiday away from the crowds, this isn’t the season for you!

April to May and September to November are the most comfortable times to travel. Days are warm and less humid, nights are cool and there are fewer tourists. Sightseeing, especially walking through archaeological sites, is not too taxing during these months and you can capture the moment without capturing too many strangers in your photos!

Winter is generally very quiet with many hotels and attractions closing between December and February. Snow falls, although rare, are not unheard of in Athens.

Our Tip: Take time to visit the island of Skiathos and Skopelos, known as the back drop to the movie Mamma Mia!

 Thailand
 

Discover the enchantment of Thailand - an extraordinary place where perfect beaches stretch far off into the distance, ancient temples shimmer in the sunlight and high-energy cities simply never stop. Holidays to Thailand seamlessly combine the past and present to deliver a destination versatile enough to fulfil the desires of every traveller. 

From its bustling street markets to tranquil mountain retreats, holidays to Thailand offer a myriad of experiences waiting to be explored. The sophisticated cuisine, rich history, and vibrant culture are just a few of the elements that draw visitors from around the globe.

Thailand has been a must-visit for many years: Whether it’s honeymoon couples, lone travellers taking a gap year or families looking for a fun and relaxing escape together, our Thailand holiday packages have something for every adventure.

When to Go: Thailand enjoys a tropical climate and is generally hot all year round. The best time to visit is from November to February when the temperatures are slightly cooler and there is less rainfall.

Our Tip: Feet are considered the dirtiest part of the body in Thai culture. You’ll have to remove your shoes whenever you enter temples, people’s homes, spas, and other establishments, so wear shoes that are easy to slip on and off. ​​​​​

 Italy
 

Italy is so photogenic; it’s almost as if the entire country was built for wanderlust-inducing travel pictures. Whether this is your first time, or you’ve been before, our Italy holidays offer new angles as you go from remote coastal towns to big cities. From iconic destinations like the Eternal City of Rome (Civitavecchia),  the Amalfi Coast, and Vatican City,  along with seldom-visited jewels to wandering seashell-pink villages stacked precipitously along the Adriatic Sea. Float Venice’s canals while a gondolier sings a lovely serenade. Sip chianti al fresco as the late sun bathes Rome in golden light. Taste classic Naples pizza that was perfected generations ago!

When to Go: The short answer is anytime. Spring and fall are best for sightseeing, touring and seasonal food. It’s warm without being stifling and nature is in full color. But with the glorious blue-sky weather come crowds and high-season prices in the main cities.

Our Tip: In Italy, no one is in a rush: stop for a chat, have a coffee and take a nap - it’s la dolce vita!
