This seven night stay in Puglia is designed for couples who want a coastal base with simple, hands on experiences included. Staying in Polignano a Mare keeps you close to the sea, historic streets and local restaurants, with easy access to nearby towns such as Bari. The focus is on enjoying the area at a comfortable pace, with a mix of time on your own and a small number of organised activities that add to the stay.
Spend the week based in Polignano a Mare, a clifftop town known for its sea views, swimming spots and compact historic centre. Your accommodation is Quintessenza Luxury Domus, a small adults only property set within walking distance of the old town and the coastline. Staying here works well if you like being able to head out on foot for meals, walks and swims rather than relying on transport each day.
One afternoon includes a boat trip along the coast to the sea caves around Polignano a Mare. This short trip gives a different view of the cliffs and coves from the water and includes time for swimming if conditions allow.
Bari is included to balance the week in Polignano a Mare with time in a larger, working city. It is the regional capital and a busy port, with a historic old town, a long seafront and everyday food culture that is easy to experience on foot.
One afternoon includes a focaccia and orecchiette cooking class, where you learn how two of the region’s best known dishes are made and sit down to eat what you prepare. Another day includes a guided bike tour of Bari, covering the old town, seafront and nearby neighbourhoods, making it easy to see more of the city without needing to plan routes or transport.

An Antarctic expedition cruise is designed to take you beyond simply seeing the continent from a ship. Small inflatable Zodiac boats are used to explore bays, reach remote landing sites and get closer to the ice, wildlife and landscapes of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Most journeys are designed to get you somewhere as quickly as possible. The Blue Train does the opposite. Over three days and two nights, it travels roughly 1,600 kilometres between Pretoria and Cape Town, turning the distance between the two cities into an experience in its own right.
Europe is packed with iconic destinations, but some of its most rewarding holidays begin just beyond the well-trodden tourist trail. If you've already ticked off the big-name cities or simply fancy somewhere that feels a little different, there are plenty of places offering beautiful scenery, fascinating history, and memorable food without the queues. From medieval towns on the Adriatic coast to volcanic islands in the Atlantic, these lesser-known corners of Europe prove that sometimes the best trips are the ones you weren't expecting.
