An Undiscovered Mediterranean Awaits
Let Globus and Cosmos introduce you to the wonders of the “undiscovered” on your next vacation. Kiss cliches goodbye and get closer to the magic of Mediterranean in one of these under-the-radar destinations.
Catch a glimpse of something new
Explore the undiscovered thanks to tour itineraries that take you away from crowds and deep into the heart of the Mediterranean. This is a different side of Croatia, Spain, Greece, and Italy.
