Our Mediterranean Promotion and Special prices

Cruise Promotion from Istanbul to Rome
Apr 12	Thu	Istanbul, Turkey	Tour the the magnificent courtyards of Topkapi Palace, stroll among the treasures of the Blue Mosque with its unique six minarets, then view Dolmabahce Palace, the one-time residence of the sultans. Or you may cruise along the Bosphorus for a unique perspective of the city’s numerous seaside mansions, mosques and palaces.
Apr 13	Fri	Mykonos, Greece	Today, this island is one of Greece’s most adored destinations due to its picture- postcard setting and growing nightlife. Mykonos is a superb example of Cycladic architecture, and by law even new buildings have to be built in the same style of whitewashed, organic, cube-like buildings. Be sure to plan a day trip to take in picturesque Little Venice, the unique Paraportiani church, and the archeological dig at Delos.
Apr 14	Sat	Ephesus (Kusadasi), Turkey	Originally a minor port, Kusadasi now serves as the gateway to Ephesus, one of the ancient world’s largest and most important archaeological and religious sites. As you walk the white marbled pathway, note the grooves made by centuries of chariot wheels. Sacred places nearby include the Basilica of St. John and the House of the Virgin Mary.
Apr 15	Sun	Santorini, Greece	Visit Ancient Akrotiri, the archeological site of a town frozen in time by ash from an eruption 3,600 years ago. Also worth a day trip is the Volcano of Santorini Palea (old) Kameni and Nea (new) Kameni , two small islands of black lava positioned in the centre of the basin of Santorini.
Apr 16	Mon	Olympia (Katakolon), Greece	Katakolon is gateway to ancient Olympia, the chief sanctuary of Zeus. After many centuries of competition which began as early as the eighth century BC, the panhellenic festival was created in 776 AD. Ancient competitions included boxing, wrestling, running, jumping, and the discus throw. It is still honored with the Olympics Games every four years. The ancient site of Olympia is also home to the Temple of Zeus, one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
Apr 17	Tue	Taormina (Sicily), Italy	Naxos is gateway to the island of Sicily’s strategically significant northeastern region. Highlights of any tour of this city would include the remarkably preserved Roman-style Greek Theater, whose acoustics are still appreciated in performances today; the splendid 15th century Palazzo Corvaia; and the Odeon, a small Imperial Age theater set amidst colorful public gardens.
Apr 18	Wed	Sorrento/Capri, Italy	Sorrento is surely one of the world’s most beautiful towns, built on a coast with breathtaking views and landscapes. Overlooking the bay of Naples, the town is the key point on the Sorrentine Peninsula and is one of the most popular destinations of the entire Campania region. Make sure to plan a day trip to Capri, one of the most celebrated Italian islands, noted for its natural beauty.
Apr 19	Thu	Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy	Trastevere, or taking in the historical and architectural glory that is Rome, visitors are spoiled for choice in this truly Eternal City. St. Peter’s Basilica is a full-day outing, featuring the Sistine Chapel and panoramic city vistas for those willing to climb to the top of the dome. Other landmarks not to miss include the renowned Trevi Fountain, the Coliseum, and Aventine Hill, which provides you with a grand view of the imposing remains of the Imperial Palaces and the Circus Maximus, of Ben Hur fame.

PerryGolf Packages

September 6, 2011 By Jack Leave a Comment

PerryGolf offers golf and travel experiences to eleven of the world's most memorable destinations: Scotland, Ireland, England, Wales, Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa.

Completely customized itineraries are the Company's particular expertise providing the seamless arrangement of golf, accommodation and local transportation.

SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS
Play 2011 Scottish Open Host Castle Stuart
Scottish Highlands & Aberdeen 2012 ~ Royal Dornoch, Castle Stuart, Royal Aberdeen	6 Nights	5 Rounds	A journey to the Highlands is always rewarded with wonderful Royal Dornoch. Nearby favorites Nairn and Brora are like ice cream with your cake, as are Royal Aberdeen and Cruden Bay on the way in or out. Better still, new Scottish Open host Castle Stuart is only 10 minutes from the Inverness airport. You will have your golf shoes on an hour after you get to Scotland.
SCOTLAND & ENGLAND
Five British Open Venues from Troon to Liverpool
2012 Rota Tour ~ Royal Troon to Royal Liverpool	6 Nights	5 Rounds	If you have a thing for playing major championship venues, here's five: Royal Troon, Ailsa at Turnberry, Royal Birkdale, Royal Liverpool, Royal Lytham & St Annes (2012 host and site of Seve's 1979 win from the car park). Better still, all are found within just 157 miles of each other along Britain's west coast!
WALES & LONDON
A PerryGolf & Heritage Experience for Couples
South Wales, Berkshire & London ~ Walton Heath to Windsor Castle	8 Nights	4 Rounds	This eight night four round tour beginning at the Celtic Manor in Wales and concluding in central London combines great links like Royal Porthcawl and parkland layouts like Walton Heath with British heritage like UNESCO site Bath and Windsor Castle. This is an ideal itinerary for four couples in a VIP Golf Coach with a concierge Driver/Guide.
THE OLD COURSE IN APRIL
Limited availability.
St Andrews in April 2012 ~ The Old Course (Guaranteed), Carnoustie & Kingsbarns	6 Nights	5 Rounds	When you play the Old Course in April (with a guaranteed tee time) you get to brag about it all summer long! Carnoustie and Kingsbarns are also among the five rounds included plus you can expect the warmest of welcomes and the luxurious amenities of the Fairmont St Andrews hotel. Availability is limited to the first eight bookings of four golfers.
NORTHERN IRELAND
$2,990 per Golfer for Self Drive with Party of 4
Northern Ireland 2012 ~ Royal County Down, Royal Portrush & Ballyliffin	6 Nights	5 Rounds	Royal County Down is Golf Magazine's World #5; Royal Portrush is World #13. Its hard to imagine why Ballyliffin isn't ranked (yet) but it certainly suits Rory McIlroy's eye; he holds the course record of 67 at the club he visited just days after his US Open victory.
