The Rhégion Travel Family
We are a proud Italian family business with deep roots in the tradition of organized group travel. Founded in 1983 by Giuseppe Nucera, RHéGION TRAVEL draws inspiration from its founder’s origins in a small town nestled on the slopes of Aspromonte, a region steeped in Greek culture and language where ancient Greek is still spoken today.
The name RHéGION, meaning Reggio in Greek, reflects our connection to the rich heritage of Reggio Calabria, the location of our company’s first administrative headquarters.
With decades of experience and a passion for showcasing the authentic beauty of Italy, we continue to uphold our family values, blending tradition and innovation to create memorable travel experiences for all.
