SMALL ESCAPES...

GREAT DISCOVERIES! …A journey of colour and light, of sounds from the people of our homeland. A journey - a small escape to what ever our homeland has to offer.

A journey - so close - reveals whatever we live for and with vibrant energy and a smile we can enjoy it.

A journey to a place and a time that offers our senses a first-time experience.

And so, all these feelings come together to create beautiful stories about our life-moments and our homeland’s.

Beautiful stories for all we have loved and will cherish forever.

WHAT’S BETTER THAN A WEEKEND BREAK?

Everything is ready to welcome you! The only thing you have to do is to get off your sofa and book you own package… and bring lots of vibrant energy along!

EXTRAORDINARY PACKAGES!

The “escapes” include a great choice of two, three, four and five star hotels as well as hotel apartments, so that you can customise your package.
