All questions
  • G

    George

    Asked on April 23rd, 2025

    Do you have any tour like this one that includes Spain? We will fly in from Brisbane Australia, holiday starts 19th July 2025 to 8th August 2025.

    Tour Details
    • Choose BalkansOperatorWritten April 2025

      Due to the distance between Greece and Spain (3500 km's), we would not have a tour that covers both Greece and Spain. However, the best idea would be to book a cheap flight from Rome to either Madrid or Barcelona and pick up a tour there.

    • G

      George

      TravelerWritten April 2025

      Do you have separate tour for Spain (prefer small group) and a shorter tour for Rome? Ideally total duration for my holiday would be 14-16 days.

    • Choose BalkansOperatorWritten April 2025

      At the moment, we don't offer tours in Spain specifically. However, the Mediterranean Marvels from Rome to Athens is a fantastic combination of Mediterranean highlights and a great way to experience some of the most iconic locations in the region within a 14-day itinerary.

    • G

      George

      TravelerWritten May 2025

      We change plan, thinking to travel Spain, France and Italy. Our holiday leave is between 20th July 2025 to 7th August 2025, so are struggling if we could fit in all 3 countries.
