Tours to the Mediterranean

From the citrus-scented cliffs of the Amalfi Coast and the terracotta charm of Andalucía to the ancient marble ruins of Athens and Ephesus, our 2026 escorted tours bring the cradle of civilisation to life.

There is something truly restorative about the Mediterranean, from the gentle lap of the Adriatic against Croatia’s ancient walls to the scent of wild herbs in the Cypriot hills. At Riviera Travel, our 2026 Mediterranean collection is designed to take you beyond the postcards and deep into the heart of local life. We understand that a truly great holiday is built on the details you don’t have to worry about; that’s why we include return flights from your local airport, stays in hand-picked 4-star hotels, and a full itinerary of insightful excursions led by expert local guides. Whether you are joining us for a dedicated Solo Traveller departure to Malta, exploring the 'hidden' Baroque gems of Sicily, or enjoying the slower pace of Puglia, you’ll travel with the confidence that comes from 40 years of expertise. As a Which? Recommended Provider for over a decade, we ensure that while the destinations are spectacular, the service and value are what make your experience unforgettable.
