Itineraries

Twelve slow days from the Uluwatu cliffs up into the Munduk hills, with an honest word on which famous spots are worth the queue.

A two-week Yucatán road trip from Playa del Carmen to Cancún, with Chichén Itzá at opening time and slow days on the Bacalar lagoon.

A Rethymno villa whose owners are now friends, then sunsets on Chania's Venetian port and Balos before the crowds.

Beautiful wadis, ancient forts, and a desert that stays with you long after you leave.

Part 1 of 2. Active volcanoes, waterfalls and misty cloud forest through the country's mountainous interior.

Part 2 of 2. Down the Pacific coast for surf towns, whale-tail sandbars and wildlife-packed national parks.
