Ibiza, Menorca, Mallorca and Corfu join custom itinerary line-up

Custom operator Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼ has expanded its European offering to include the Spanish Balearics Islands of Ibiza, Menorca and Mallorca, as well as Greek island Corfu.

Balearic Islands, Spain

Mallorca

In Palma, Mallorca clients can learn to cook traditional Spanish dishes during a hands-on cooking class, spend an afternoon exploring the old town on a private guided bike tour and relax on a private boat trip.

En-route north to Sóller, a popular beach town with a historic old town and vibrant port area, clients can join a shared tour of a family-run winery at the foot of the scenic Tramuntana Mountain range. From Sóller, they can explore with a specialist hiking guide, through fragrant citrus groves and visit the idyllic mountain village of Biniaraix.

Menorca

Clients can explore the hidden corners of lesser-visited Menorca in an open-topped Land Rover Discovery tour, learning about its history and visiting secluded pre-historic archaeological sites, as well as explore the island on foot with a specialist hiking guide finishing at the perfect spot away from the crowds by the natural bridge of Pont d’en Gil to watch the sunset. In Ciutadella, excursions include a privately guided tour tasting local delicacies such as Mahon cheese and tapas.

Ibiza

Highlights in Ibiza include exploring Dalt Vila (the old town of Ibiza is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its rich history, traditional whitewashed Ibizan architecture, and cultural scene) with a private guide. Active visitors will enjoy kayaking in hidden caves from the coastal town of Portinatx and e-biking in the mountains, and clients looking for something a little different can spend time on a sustainable farm crafting their own Hierbas (a traditional liqueur).

Corfu, Greece

Audley’s specialists recommend a walking tour of Corfu Town, meeting locals and sampling a variety of regional delicacies. In the northwest, they can visit the hilltop Palaiokastritsa Monastery overlooking the Ionian Sea, followed by wine tasting at a local, family-run estate.

Foodies will enjoy a culinary workshop preparing specialist Corfiot recipes using traditional methods (such as cooking on a wood-fired oven) that have been passed down for centuries in the home of a local family.
