The World’s Only Luxury Tours by Private Jet 2024 Europe Rediscovered by Private Jet May 4 – 18, 2024 Helsinki | Santorini | Skopje | Puglia | Interlaken | Madeira Explore Historic and Ancient Cities off the Beaten Path

Dear Travelers, It gives me great pleasure to present a splendid and unusual itinerary for just 15 guests on the Lakani Europe Rediscovered Tour by Private Jet beginning on May 4, 2024. It is a program that offers a mix of historic, cultural, and natural attractions in some of the most wonderful destinations in Europe. It is more than likely that you have not visited these all on a two-week trip. Thanks to the Lakani Private Jet, you will be able to spend two to three days in Helsinki, Santorini, Puglia, Interlaken, and Madeira – and even drop in on Skopje, North Macedonia for a tour around the capital city and birthplace of Mother Teresa.

Begin in Helsinki, home to some of the most fascinating landmarks, including Sibelius Monument and the Rock Church. Fly to Santorini in the custom outfitted Lakani Private VIP Jet and capture views of the Aegean Sea and Caldera from your inviting retreat in one of my favorite Greek villages, Oia. See the highlights of the island, including the ancient ruins of Akrotiri, and taste excellent locally produced wine. Board the jet and head to Skopje for a city tour and traditional Macedonian lunch before continuing to Brindisi, Italy. Travel up the coast to Monopoli to a wonderful gem of a resort as your base for discovering the pretty towns of Puglia and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the unique trullo houses. Then take the jet to Bern, Switzerland for a magical experience in the heart of the Berner Oberland Mountains, including an excursion to the “Top of Europe” on the famous Jungfraubahn. Before you leave the country, tour the capital city of Bern and its UNESCO listed Old Town. The last destination is one of my favorites – Madeira, the Portuguese island in the North Atlantic, where you will have the opportunity to sledge down the narrow hill streets of Funchal! It is a beautiful island with stunning landscapes, fabulous culture, and an unforgettable legendary hotel to celebrate the finale of this amazing trip.

In true Lakani style you will stay in suites in outstanding iconic and historic hotels throughout; experience train and cable rides; taste locally produced wines; and delight in local restaurant discoveries on the Lakani Dine by Choice. The Lakani Private Jet makes it possible to accomplish this unique itinerary all on one trip in absolute comfort; and the best part is that all the logistics of travel are completely handled, leaving you to simply have fun and enjoy your vacation. We hope to welcome you aboard this unique opportunity.

With best traveling wishes,
