The Camping and Caravanning Club’s (CCC) European Travel Service has launched its new 2017/18 brochure, featuring 22 tours including Normandy and the D-Day Beaches, Belgium, the Balkans and an all-new tour, The Heel of Italy.
The Heel of Italy is a 26-day Escorted Tour focused on the Abruzzo and Puglia regions in the south east of the country. It takes in locations like Bari, a bustling southern port city and the capital of Puglia – the heel of Italy’s boot – to the 14th century old town and Baroque churches of Gallipoli.
From rural landscapes to clear waters along the Adriatic and Ionian coastlines, this part of southern Italy feels like a land beyond Europe. The tour, which includes seven excursions and seven distinctive regional meals, covers some 970 miles and offers a real insight into what makes the region unique.
Richard Grimsdale, The Club’s Travel Services Director, said: “Our European tour programme continues to grow and we’re pleased to offer this exciting new tour of Italy in our 2017/18 brochure, which joins existing popular tours of Iceland and the Faroe Islands, Greece and Morocco to name but a few!
“When booking with the Club’s Travel Service, we can help with advice on ferry travel and recommend motorhome hire in destinations across Europe – or even further afield – via Worldwide Motorhoming Holidays from the Club.”
Those booking a ferry crossing and an Escorted Tour with the Club receive a discount of up to 10 per cent off the cost of the crossing and a further £25 off the tour price.
Those who don’t own their own unit can take advantage of the Club’s book and go motorhome hire offer. It’s also a great solution for anyone who wishes to tour Europe under their own steam.
