Dear Traveller, 

Sun Island Tours is proud to present 

our 2013 brochure featuring the best of 

Italy, Croatia, Spain, and the western 

Mediterranean. 

Italy beckons with her rich history, culture 

and cuisine. Enjoy a Venetian sunset on a 

gondola, or find tranquillity on the shores 

of Lake Como. Visit the imperial and 

religious sites of Rome, and maybe hire 

a car and drive through the vineyards of 

Tuscany towards glorious Florence. For a 

real treat, embark on one of our tours of 

the Amalfi Coast to see Pompeii, the Isle of 

Capri, and of course enjoy a limoncello in 

Positano. 

See Croatia on an escorted coach tour, 

and perhaps continue on to Slovenia and 

the heavenly Lake Bled. Alternatively, 

cruise the Dalmatian islands on a vintage 

boat, sailing between Hvar, Brac and 

Korcula whilst visiting the stunning cities 

of Split and Dubrovnik. Malta is still an 

untouched wonderland and a great option 

for seasoned travellers. 

Spain, Portugal and Morocco – pick 

one or visit them all on an escorted tour.

Enjoy tapas with sangria, learn some 

flamenco, or just shop Las Ramblas in 

Barcelona. Swim the turquoise waters 

of the Algarve in Portugal, and explore 

the Berber market of Djemaa el Fna in 

Marrakech. 

It is hard to escape the magic of Paris, 

but the French countryside is dotted with 

beautiful villages, gothic churches and 

enticing wineries. Travel south to the glitz 

of the French Riviera and the grandeur of 

Monaco. 

Our Groups Department is the most 

knowledgeable and specialised for the 

region, and we can organise tailor-made 

itineraries for groups of any size.
