Our way of travelling

Most tours either rush you past everything or leave you wondering if you can keep up. We believe the best way to know a place is under your own power. Every river, ridge and coastline has a natural pace, and when you move at it, you notice the smell of the olive groves, the bell of the ferry, the baker who waves twice. We plan the route. You find the rhythm.
