About Us
Traveling with Tourlite
Makes all the Difference in the World
Dear Traveler,
Welcome to Tourlite International and for those of you who have traveled with us before, welcome back!
We’re now in our 40th year and I’m delighted to present our newest collection of Sunny Splendor Tours
to Greece, The Greek Islands, Cyprus, Egypt, the Nile, Israel, Italy, Turkey, Central and South America.
GREECE & EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN
As a native of Greece, my knowledge and appreciation for this magical region began at a young age when
I had the opportunity to travel extensively through Greece and the Greek Islands with my father, the
owner of a shipping company. Today, with most of my immediate family living in America, we visit
Greece frequently throughout the year and my home village on the island of Mytilene (Lesvos).
You can rest assured you’ll be in the care of a knowledgeable, enthusiastic and friendly staff—including
my nephew who manages our Athens office—who is there to make your journey with us an experience
of a lifetime.
We have treated travel to Greece, the Greek Isles, Italy, Turkey and Egypt as an art form for decades, and
this year we are proud to lift the curtain on what we believe is our masterpiece: a melange of adventure
and discovery that is value packed and so diverse that you'll be able to select or design your own travel
experience that is perfectly suited to your own personal tastes.
Travel with Tourlite International and let us guide you through these ancient and beautiful lands. You will never
forget where you’ve been – or who brought you there.
CENTRAL & SOUTH AMERICA
Our Southern Neighbors and the Nature’s Wonderland……
Whether you’re looking for breathtaking scenery, colorful culture, friendly faces, ecological
adventures, and yes always fun; Tourlite gives you the best of South & Central America.
From the sun and fun of Rio’s world famous beaches, and the statue of Christ Redeemer, a
New 7 Wonder of the World, to the shimmering expanses of Patagonia glaciers, and from the
sophisticated splendor of Buenos Aires to the incredible ecological wonders of the Amazon Rain
Forests – South America offers a marvelous panorama of travel delights which are sure to
enchant and please even the most discriminating of travelers.
In Peru, watch the sunset over the fortress of Machu Picchu, a New 7 Wonder of the World.
Cross the majestic Lake District between Chile and Argentina. Cruise the Galapagos Islands on
board an intimate yacht or a elegant cruise ship, either choice will sail you through this UNESCO
World Heritage Site where you discover intriguing wildlife.
Costa Rica, it is said, is a land where life reaches its greatest expression. It is a land were
orchids bloom all year and where, in the course of a day, one can drive from a volcano’s summit,
through pastoral landscapes, to a sultry, tropical rain forest and afterwards relax in the comfort
of a luxury resort, enjoy a candlelight dinner and dance the night away to Latin rhythm.
Discover the world below the sea in Belize, as you swim the world’s 2nd greatest barrier
reef and the pre-Columbian sites of Guatemala whose Maya pyramids rival those of Egypt. In
Panama stay in a jungle resort along the Panama Canal, one of man’s greatest feats, or an exclusive
bungalow over the sea in Boca’s del Toro where the sea is your front, back and side yard.
