Off to the south The most beautiful Geotoura summer destinations 2024

Summer destinations: What more could you want?
My favourite destination to soak up the sun? Without a doubt: the South of Europe! Where else can you find such a variety of nature & culture, fantastic cuisine and beautiful beaches? Especially now in winter, the next sun holiday can’t come soon enough. It’s a good thing that many destinations are already tempting with warm temperatures in spring. What could be nicer than sitting in a street café in cities such as Sevilla or Bari in March or hiking through blooming landscapes such as Madeira , the “Hawaii of Europe”?
Or are you more “Team Summer & Beach” and can hardly wait to jump into the sea? The beaches of Albania with their white sand and turquoise water are reminiscent of exotic holiday destinations. With over 400 kilometres of coastline, you will definitely find your personal dream beach here.
Incidentally, the absolute all-rounder for me when it comes to summer destinations is still the sunny island of Crete . Mediterranean lifestyle, fantastic food, ancient cultural sites and dream beaches. What more could you want?

Our first trip to Greece was a complete success. The classic tour of the Peloponnese, which was so well thought out and planned, more than fulfilled our expectations. We spent twelve days exploring the historical sights, travelling through unfamiliar country and staying in accommodation that we would never have found and booked on our own. These were days of discovery, stories of myths, antiquity and an infinite number of STONES ... and surprises in everyday Greek life. It was nothing but amazement under the Greek autumn sun and for us a carefree feeling of travelling. We will certainly be travelling with Geotura again.

The trip was simply wonderful, well organised and all the wishes we had were taken into account, supplemented with suggestions and alternatives where necessary. What we wanted to experience on our first trip to Greece/Crete was surpassed in every case and it certainly wasn't the last time we were there. It was not a prefabricated scheme that was worked through, but you are, if you want it that way, very individually on the road to get to know the country and its people. We not only enjoyed the trip, but also the organisation by the friendly Geotoura team.

All the hotels recommended to us by Geotoura were excellent. The hotel complexes in Syracuse and Agrigento were so beautiful that we almost didn't want to leave them. The car hire company we booked was efficient and the car was almost new. A query with Geotoura was dealt with immediately, even at the weekend. We would be happy to use Geotoura again next time.

Planning our round trip in a hire car in Portugal was a pleasure. Individual wishes were fulfilled. The suggestions convinced me. We were even made aware of the forest fires during our holiday and were told where we could get information. The hotels were all a highlight in their own right. We received accompanying material with lots of tips for places worth visiting, etc. We will definitely enquire with Geotoura again. Many thanks to the whole team!

You can't plan a trip better than Geotoura did for us. Starting with the extremely friendly correspondence and support from the customer service team, to putting together the route according to our wishes and the personalised travel guide, right through to the choice of hotels. It was an absolute dream holiday in Portugal with memories that will last forever! We had no administrative hassle, everything went smoothly - we will definitely book with Geotoura again and again!
