My wife and I would like to spend our summer holidays traveling in Europe.0:21
What countries would you like to visit?0:27
In fact, we would prefer to combine travelling with staying at some seaside resort.0:29
So we are thinking about the south of Europe.0:36
There is a choice of tours I can offer you.0:40
You can make a tour of France, Spain and Portugal and stay in Costa Brava, not far from Barcelona in Spain.0:42

Could we make it of Greece or Italy?0:54
Certainly, sir, that's a very good idea.0:57
There are lots of good seaside hotels both in Italy and in Greece.1:00
Well, what would you recommend?1:05
You could travel about France and Italy for a week and then stay for another week in Xenia La Gonissi, a very comfortable five star holiday spot just 40 kilometres from the centre of Athens.1:09
Will we be able to travel about Greece?1:24
If you drive, you can rent a car and see the country on your own.1:28
Or join some of the tours arranged by the holiday centre.1:32
Now what places can we see in France and Italy?1:38
We can offer you an individual tour and then you'll be able to choose the places.1:42
It's very convenient, but more expensive.1:47
