Where will you go next?

Or should we say, what will you experience next? For some, the warming rays of the sun, the feeling of sand between the toes, a refreshing dip in pool or sea, and a cooling breeze beneath cloudless skies is all that’s needed. For others, learning new skills, experiencing something unfamiliar or making the most of a holiday destination with a multi-centre trip, are the ways to create vivid and lasting holiday memories.

For something different, why not join hotel owner and keen chef, Giuliano, who’ll introduce you to the delights of cooking in Italy’s Puglia region. For something unforgettable, discover the hidden treasures of Venice with our simply magical and private after hours visit inside St Mark’s Basilica at dusk. For something remarkable, combine the ancient treasures of Athens with a relaxing stay on the stunning island of Crete.

Whatever your preference, Classic Collection Holidays have more than 30 years’ experience of creating perfect

holidays with the minimum of fuss. We personalise your holiday with flights from your local airport, private resort transfers and the services of our UK concierge team who can source and book opera, theatre and sporting event tickets, help with restaurants recommendations and reservations, and advise on the best tours, including private excursions organised specially for you.

We look forward to welcoming you on a holiday that’s personalised to perfection, just for you. Please contact your travel agent for more details.
