A Trafalgar affair

FROM THE ICONIC TO THE UNEXPECTED, HOLIDAYS WITH TRAFALGAR ARE ABOUT REAL EXPERIENCE­S, NOT JUST REMARKABLE DESTINATIO­NS

-

Meet Javoc at his eco village for a traditiona­l Croatian meal cooked under a clay bell, or feast with Arild as he introduces you to Norwegian country life at his Øvre-Eide farm from the Viking ages. With a Trafalgar holiday, it’s all about enjoying the good life. Their travel directors take care of the details so you’re free to be in the moment. In Venice, glide through the canals by private launch and head to Giudecca Island to enjoy a cultural insight into the centuries-old Venetian tradition of glassmakin­g, before taking in the ornate beauty of the Doge’s Palace and St. Mark’s Basilica on bustling St. Mark’s Square. See the Bridge of Sighs – so named because of the sound prisoners would make at taking one last longing look at their beloved city before being imprisoned – then spend the rest of the day relaxing and eating gelato! Or combine that with an excursion to the colourful fishing island of Burano for a delicious dinner. Beyond Venice, you’ll connect with the locals in Sienna, Italy, where you’ll be welcomed by the Lenzi family at Trattoria di Petroio in the picturesqu­e Tuscan countrysid­e. The family will show you around the grape vines, olive groves and historic buildings, then enjoy delicious home-baked bread and their hand-harvested wine, along with many other delicacies from the estate. Or, if it’s sunny Spain you’re dreaming of, at Las Casas de la Juderia you’ll sleep like royalty. A former duke’s residence, this hotel in Seville spans a number of historical houses (available on Trafalgar’s ‘Best of Spain’). These and many other unique Trafalgar guided holiday experience­s are available at your local Flight Centre – so get in touch with New Zealand’s leading travel experts today!

From restaurant reservatio­ns to hotel check-ins, your knowledgea­ble travel director will be on hand to look after the details.
