EUROPA NOSTRA HERITAGE TOURS


 


Details of the 2009 Europa Nostra Heritage Tours will be posted on this website shortly.

 

 

The Europa Nostra Heritage Tours are a service of Europa Nostra especially tailored for its individual members. They are a valuable tool for ensuring Europa Nostra’s presence and for conveying its concerns and activities throughout Europe. When joining a tour Members will not only experience the special features of these tours, but they will also support Europa Nostra financially. The latter has become a very welcome and increasingly important aspect of these tours.

Anyone may book on the tours on the condition that they become an individual member of Europa Nostra. The tours are organised for Europa Nostra by various agencies across Europe in close consultation with the Heritage Tours Committee. Care is taken to include visits to Europa Nostra Award winning projects (restored houses), and visits to private homes. Many of these are owned by Europa Nostra members themselves and are generally closed to the public.

NAPLES Contrasts of beauty
13.04 - 19.04.2008

The city of Naples needs little or no introduction. It is probably one of the most vibrant cities in Europe. In Italy, it is one of a handful of unique large cities that are on top of everybody’s list of preferred travel destinations. Indisputably, its location is unique and possibly one of the most attractive in the world. Another indisputable fact is that Naples offers an almost inexhaustible wealth of art and great sights, whether within the city’s confines or in its scenic surroundings.

CYPRUS Where East meets West
16.10 - 23.10.2008

Cyprus, strategically located at the crossroads of civilisations, has a rich history going back 10,000 years. It is reflected through Neolithic sites, Greek temples, Roman mosaics, Byzantine churches, Gothic monuments, Medieval castles, Venetian fortifications, Ottoman mosques and baths and British colonial buildings. Although military and political division still persists, it is now possible since 2003 to visit the whole island. This tour will be a true journey through the centuries which will show the cultural diversity of Cyprus where the successive powers that occupied it left their mark. It will also be a journey to meet the most significant religious figure of ancient times Aphrodite, the Cyprian Goddess.

SOUTH AFRICA The Dutch Golden Age in South Africa
14.11 - 24.11.2008

There are very few countries in the world that can provide so many beautiful landscapes and natural wonders as the southern part of the African continent. This country is rich in rivers, mountains and pastures, but was very sparsely populated until Portuguese settlers reached it for the first time in 1487. The numbers of native Hottentots and Xhosas were not strong enough to resist the invasion by European colonists.
