Detailed Itinerary

01
Barcelona, Spain
THU, MARCH 5 • 00:00 - 19:00

The infinite variety of street life, the nooks and crannies of the medieval Barri Gòtic, the ceramic tiles and stained glass of Art Nouveau facades, the art, and music, the throb of street life, the food (ah, the food!) - one way or another, Barcelona will find a way to get your full attention. The capital of Catalonia is a banquet for the senses, with its beguiling mix of ancient and modern architecture, tempting cafés and markets, and sun-drenched Mediterranean beaches. A stroll along La Rambla and through waterfront Barceloneta, as well as a tour of Gaudí's majestic Sagrada Família and his other unique creations, are part of a visit to Spain's second-biggest city. Modern art museums and chic shops call for attention, too. Barcelona's vibe stays lively well into the night when you can linger over regional wine and cuisine at buzzing tapas bars.

Barcelona, Spain
02
Valencia, Spain
FRI, MARCH 6 • 08:00 - 18:00

Valencia is a proud city. During the Civil War, it was the last seat of the Republican Loyalist government (1935-36), holding out against Franco's National forces until the country fell to 40 years of dictatorship. Today it represents the essence of contemporary Spain's daring design and architecture along with experimental cuisine - but remains deeply conservative and proud of its traditions. Though it faces the Mediterranean, Valencia's history and geography have been defined most significantly by the River Turia and the fertile floodplain (huerta) that surrounds it. The city has been fiercely contested ever since it was founded by the Greeks. El Cid captured Valencia from the Moors in 1094 and won his strangest victory here in 1099: he died in the battle, but his corpse was strapped into his saddle and so frightened the besieging Moors that it caused their complete defeat. In 1102 his widow, Jimena, was forced to return the city to Moorish rule; Jaume I finally drove them out in 1238. Modern Valencia was best known for its frequent disastrous floods until the River Turia was diverted to the south in the late 1950s. Since then the city has been on a steady course of urban beautification. The lovely bridges that once spanned the Turia look equally graceful spanning a wandering municipal park, and the spectacularly futuristic Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias (City of Arts and Sciences), most of it designed by Valencia-born architect Santiago Calatrava, has at last created an exciting architectural link between this river town and the Mediterranean. If you're in Valencia, an excursion to Albufera Nature Park is a worthwhile day trip.

Day at sea
SAT, MARCH 7 • 00:00 - 00:00

Days at sea are the perfect opportunity to relax, unwind, and catch up with what you've been meaning to do. So whether that is going to the gym, visiting the spa, whale-watching, catching up on your reading, or simply topping up your tan, these blue sea days are the perfect balance to busy days spent exploring shoreside.

Day at sea
04
Sete, France
SUN, MARCH 8 • 08:00 - 18:00

Surrounded by water, Sete is a Mediterranean fishing capital and a port with maritime heritage flowing through its salty veins. Set on a lagoon beside the Mediterranean's waves, Sete's streets are interspersed with canals, and the historic Canal du Midi terminates here. Canal boats joust on the river during August's festival, in this working city of breezy nautical charm. Known as the Venice of Languedoc, house facades front up against canal banks, while leisurely cruises offer romantic trips through this colorful, maritime city. The ascent of Mount St-Clair is perhaps the best spot to appreciate this wonderful, watery setting, and you can also take in the bright frescoes of the Chapel of Notre Dame de la Salette while you're there. Or absorb the town's deep fishing heritage with a harbor walk among the bobbing little boats, or within the preserved La Pointe Courte fisherman's village. Sit down to sample the incredible sea life at fine restaurants, which plate up mounds of juicy oysters and shellfish, hauled ashore from the waters. Swing golf clubs on rollercoaster coastal courses, or relax on miles of golden beaches stretching along the nearby spit. Inland, discover rich medieval history, beautifully preserved at the walled city of Aigues-Mortes. Mighty Carcassonne UNESCO World Heritage Site also stands within reach, inviting you to enter a majestic fairy-tale citadel of fantasy turrets and imposing battlements. Step across the drawbridge and brush shoulders with armed soldiers and artisans, inside this living timewarp's immense ramparts.

Marseille , France
MON, MARCH 9 • 08:00 - 19:00

France's sunniest and oldest city may not have the glamour of some of its Cote D'Azur neighbors, but what it lacks in glitz, it certainly makes up for in authenticity and cultural depth. France's second-biggest city, Marseille served as European Capital of Culture in 2013 and is a fantastic hub of museums, creativity, and color. The Le Panier district is a vivid illustration of this - with its faded streets revitalized by overflowing flowerpots and pretty naturally distressed doorways. Look down to the yacht-crammed port - where fishermen still unload fresh catches - from the viewpoint at the spectacular Notre-Dame de la Garde - a true crowning glory. Standing over walled fortifications - and capped by an elegant dome - the soaring golden statue of Madonna and Child rises high into the air and is visible all over the city. The huge Marseille Cathedral is equally impressive, with its stunning zebra-striped exterior. Palais Longchamp, built in 1862, twinkles with flowing water, and its saturated gardens and splashing fountains were built to celebrate the engineering feat of successfully redirecting water to the city. You can't leave Marseille without tucking into its famous fish stew - bouillabaisse. Flavored with thyme, garlic, and hunks of Mediterranean fish and plump prawns, it's a bold and delicious taste of Provence. Wash your hands clean after, with some of Marseille's traditional soap, created using a fragrant recipe of rich olive oil. Escape the hubbub of the city, to soak in the natural glory of Calanques National Park. Hike, kayak and sail your way through a treasure trove of limestone cliffs, dropping off to hidden beaches.

Menton, France
TUE, MARCH 10 • 08:00 - 19:00

Happily preserved from much redevelopment, mountains frame belle epoque villas, painted in sun-faded pastel shades, and azure sea shimmers. It’s picturesque and lush with exotic botanical delights. Just a quick skip from Monaco and the last stop on the Cote de d’Azur before Italy, Menton isn’t the celebrity haunt like some of the flashier resorts of the coast, but it’s not exactly undiscovered either. It was already a fashionable winter retreat for the traveling nobility in the 19th century, even gaining a royal seal of approval from Queen Victoria. Inspired by the subtropical microclimate, well-heeled 19th century aristocrats planted lavish gardens now open to the public, bursting with rare, tropical plants from their travels and the largest collection of citrus trees in Europe, with over a hundred different varieties. Menton has a legendary love affair with lemons culminating in the creation of a lemon festival in the 1930s that’s still held today at Mardi Gras. It’s quite a sight to see, themed floats and sculptures made of lemons and oranges.
The charms of Menton did not escape prominent artists and writers. Picasso, Duffy, Monet, Zola, and Flaubert amongst many others have all found inspiration here. Perhaps none so much as Jean Cocteau - artist and director. The admiration was mutual, there’s a fantastic museum dedicated to his work as well as visits possible to buildings he was given free rein to decorate. There’s a lot to look at as you sip your citron pressé!

Genoa, Italy
WED, MARCH 11 • 08:00 - 18:00

Most famous for being the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, Genoa is one of Italy's true unsung heroes. Stretched out along the Mediterranean coast just over 100 miles from France, the city is the capital of Liguria, or the Italian Riviera, and has the history to prove it. Once the main trading center for Italy, Genoa has a fine legacy of wealth behind it. The area once had complete control over the Tyrrhenian Sea, and its vast reach stretched as far as Nice to the west, Sardinia in the south, and into the Piedmont mountains in the north. Exports were many, but perhaps the most lucrative of these was the rough denim cloth that sailors would wear, today more popularly known under the moniker blue jean. This affluence has left its mark on the city, think ornate gates, large, leafy palazzos, lavishly decorate churches, and a Centro Storico - or Old Town - that speaks volumes. Grab your best hiking boots and wander the narrow alleys and steep hills and imbibe in the inherent Italianism of the city. No one could talk about Genoa's history without mentioning its food. Home of both Pesto and Focaccia, Genoa is considered by many to be one of the cornerstones of Italian gastronomy. The city's cuisine is very much a product of its terrain: The Mediterranean yields freshly caught fish and seafood found on almost every menu, while the mountains supply the meat, cheese, and above all herbs that flavor the dishes. It may not be fancy, but if you like good, simple Italian food, you have come to the right place.

Livorno (Tuscany), Italy
THU, MARCH 12 • 08:00 - 00:00

There are few more elegant places to salute the sunset than Terrazza Mascagni, Livorno's refined chessboard piazza. A historic port, and a beachy gateway to Tuscany, Livorno welcomes you ashore to explore this enchanted Italian region's sun-soaked beauty, rich flavors, and world-renowned fine art. Stay in Livorno to explore 'Piccolo Venezia', or - Little Venice - a quarter of the town that's laced with canals, little marble bridges, and plenty of tempting eateries. With its bustling market, fortresses, and iconic waterfront, there is plenty to keep you busy here, but most will be tempted to venture inland to explore more of Tuscany's many charms and artistic wonders. Test your nose, as you breathe in the subtleties of Tuscany's vineyard-draped scenery and visit wineries showcasing the best of the renowned flavors of the Bolgheri wine-growing area. Or head out to Prato, where you'll find tightly woven textile history. Pisa's showpiece tower is within reach, as is Florence's city of immense and imaginative Renaissance beauty. Admire the delicate carving of Michelangelo's masterpiece, the David statue, and note the provocative stance as he casts a dismissive glance towards Rome. Stand before the city's majestic black and white cathedral - the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore - with its colossal brick dome. The view down over Florence's river and grand dome from Piazzale Michelangelo, meanwhile, is one of Italy's finest. However you choose to spend your time in Tuscany, you'll discover an artistic region, filled with beauty designed to appeal to every sense.

Porto Santo Stefano, Italy
SAT, MARCH 14 • 08:00 - 21:30

A summer escape for Rome's historic elite, the stacked waterfront of Porto Santo Stefano is a secluded taste of idyllic southern Tuscany. Physically closer to Rome than Florence, the city is strung to Italy's western coast by two sandy harnesses and sits on the unique peninsula of Monte Argentario - which was once an island. Flamboyant pink flamingos and herons stroll through the encased lagoon, while Porto Santo Stefano's waterfront hums with clinking cafes and strolling visitors. The luxury yachts in the harbor show that Porto Santo Stefano has lost none of its luxury appeals, and with beaches, wild hikes, and waterfront beauty, it continues to lure visitors to this secluded escape. Known for its fishing and cuisine - which is based on heavy use of the Tyrrhenian Sea's juicy bounty. Stroll to Piazza dei Rioni for a dripping lemon gelato, or wander the streets noticing the lingering World War II damage - the city was heavily bombed during the conflict. Fortunately, the historic, star-shaped, Spanish fort was spared, and it still watches out resolutely over the waters. Built during the Napoleonic Wars, it fortified the exposed town against pirate raids and offers beautiful views over the old town's terracotta roofs. Rugged coastline falls to secluded beaches, with a wilder, unkempt charm. Sail the coves - seeing cascading olive groves - or island hop to Giglio and Giannuti, which lie 12 miles from shore, and can be seen from the monastery-topped Argentario Mountain. On the other side of the promontory, you'll find Porto Ercole - where the lifeless body of the Old Master, Caravaggio, was discovered.

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy
SUN, MARCH 15 • 07:00 - 19:00

All roads lead to Rome, and with good reason - this city is one of the world's most thrilling, offering unmatched history along every street. An evocative, inspiring, and utterly artistic capital of unrivaled cultural impact, Rome is a city of back-to-back landmarks, which will take you on an exhilarating journey through the ages. This may be one of the world's oldest cities, but it's well and truly lived in. The ruins are punctuated with murmuring cafes, and the outdoor seating of restaurants sprawls out across piazzas, enticing you to sample tangles of creamy pasta and crispy pizzas. Rome's incredible Roman Forum is littered with the ruins of its ancient administrations, which have stood firm for 2,000 years, since the times when the area was the center of the Western world. Few sites are more simultaneously beautiful and haunting than that of the storied Colosseum, which looms deep into Rome's rich blue sky. Take a tour to learn details of the grisly goings-on within. The best way to experience Rome is to wander its streets, gelato in hand. There is a lot to see here - whether it's the domed spectacle of the Pantheon, or the elaborate flowing waters and artistry of the Trevi Fountain. Vatican City is an astonishing, colossal display of Catholic grandeur, while the Spanish Steps - crowned by the Trinità dei Monti church - offer a beautiful spot to gather and soak up the lively atmosphere of this humming city. With so much on the to-do list, you'll relish the breaks you take, enjoying simple pleasures like a strong espresso, or fresh pasta with tomato sauce and ripped basil.

Salerno, Italy
MON, MARCH 16 • 09:00 - 19:00

Have a taste of dolce vita in Salerno. The city is situated at the northern end of the Gulf of Salerno, near the stunning Amalfi Coast. The old town, rising up the slopes of the hill on the site of the ancient Salernum, still bears evidence of its great days during the medieval period. It had the oldest medical school in Europe, which flourished from the 11th century until it was closed down by Napoleon's brother-in-law, Murat, in 1812. Today, Salerno's main attraction is an imposing Romanesque cathedral, built in 1085 and remodeled in the late 18th century. A flight of steps leads up to an atrium with 28 columns from Paestum and fourteen ancient sarcophagi. The magnificent bronze doors were made in Constantinople in 1099. Inside is the ornate tomb of Margaret of Anjou and the tomb of Pope Gregory VII, who died in Salerno in 1085. In the richly decorated crypt under the altar lie the remains of the Evangelist Matthew, brought here from Paestum. A 45-minute walk from the cathedral leads to a hilltop crowned by the old Lombard Castello, from where extensive views are available. Along the seafront, to the east of the harbor, extends a fine promenade lined with impressive modern buildings. The Corso Giuseppe Garibaldi is the town's principal traffic artery. Salerno is the gateway for travelers for visits to the Greek temples of Paestum. Other favorite excursions from here are to Pompeii and to visit the popular resort towns of Amalfi and Ravello.

Palermo, Sicily, Italy
TUE, MARCH 17 • 08:00 - 18:00

The capital of Sicily, Palermo is a fiery, authentic city and a cultural powerhouse on the periphery of Europe. Juicy lemons weigh down the branches of its tree-lined streets, while treats like cannoli tubes, filled with ricotta-blended cream, provide a sweet taste of the local cuisine. Oozing layered character, explore this incredible city at leisure, or head out to nearby villages, which offer preserved medieval charm. Stacked markets spill out onto Palermo's souk-like streets, while grand piazzas host elaborate fountains and sculptures, below the watch of baroque church domes. Many cultures have clashed and combined on this island's shores, - since the days of antiquity - giving the city the dubious honor of being the world's most conquered city. A genuine patchwork of influences, Palermo's triumph lies in somehow combining it all into one fascinating whole. Palermo is a delightfully disheveled city. Wander bomb-damaged streets of neglect, which suddenly open out to the grandest of cathedrals and most majestic of stunning palaces. The 12th-century Palermo Cathedral is a glorious domed structure - rise to the top, to look across the city's restaurant-filled alleyways from above. Next, encounter the Norman, Arabic, and Byzantine fusion of the Norman Palace and the incredible golden mosaics and sweeping archways of the adjacent Royal Chapel. Visit Europe's third-largest opera house, or Mondello's beach, which offers relaxation on a beautiful arc of white sand. Stop in at the selection of restaurants, which serve up fresh fish, and refreshing granita al limone.

Gythion, Greece
THU, MARCH 19 • 08:00 - 18:00

One of the most beautiful parts of this region of the Peloponnese is the plain of Laconia which extends from Sparta to the port of Gytheion. The many neo-classical houses of this harbor town are built on the slopes of Mount Kourmaros. Aside from its remaining ancient theater and cultural museum, visitors can enjoy local beaches and a variety of dining opportunities. The inhabitants of Gytheion claim Hercules and Apollo as its founders. According to mythology, Paris and Helen of Troy were reputed to have spent their first night together on nearby ancient Kranae, now called Marathonissi. Enlarging the natural harbor, it was used by the Spartans as their naval base and the main port of trade. Today Gytheion is visited mostly for its scenic beauty and access to numerous historical sites. These include the cliffside city of Mistra, one of the finest surviving examples of Byzantine architecture in Greece, and ancient Sparta.

Heraklion, Greece
FRI, MARCH 20 • 08:00 - 18:00

It may not be the prettiest place in Crete, but Heraklion's patchwork of history, bustling activity, and cultural intrigue makes it the perfect change of pace. This is certainly no sleepy island fishing village, and Greece's fifth-largest city is adorned with a rich collection of quality museums, ancient ruins from antiquity, and a lively culture of its own. A refreshing shift-up from the many quaint beach towns and fishing villages you'll encounter in the Greek islands, Heraklion - also known as Iraklio - has great shopping, and extraordinary history - and is the ideal base for ventures to the archaeological treasures of Crete. Traded by the Arabic, Venetian, and Ottoman empires over the years, Heraklion is a multi-layered place with fascinating tales to tell. The city's impressive Venetian fortress, which waits over the gently rolling waves of the gleaming Mediterranean, welcomes you ashore. A stroll out along the seawall, alongside creaking fishing boats, will take you out to the squat fortifications that have stood since 1540. Climb to the top for views out across the water, back towards the city's waterfront. The sun-roasted earth outside the city hides treasures from the realms of history, including the Bronze Age remnants of Europe's oldest city, Knossos. A visit to the fantastic Archaeological Museum of Heraklion ties all of this history together and exhibits relics from the civilizations and eras of Crete's past. Elsewhere, Daidalou's pedestrianized paving is a charming stroll through Heraklion's shops, with streets branching off to café-lined plazas and twinkling fountains. Stop to try local food - like fresh feta and olive-sprinkled dakos mezze - all washed down with a sample of local raki brandy.

Rhodes, Greece
SAT, MARCH 21 • 08:00 - 18:00

With an endless sun-soaked season, earthy history, and vibrant culture, the island of Rhodes has it all. At the crossroads between continents, and sandwiched between Crete and Turkey's coastline, Rhodes has swayed between many mighty civilizations throughout its tumultuous history. Part of the Dodecanese Islands, which are sprinkled across the blissfully blue Aegean Sea, dive into this island of dazzling beaches, historic medieval towns, and whitewashed villages. Crusted with turrets and walls, alluding to its strategic significance over the years. Incredible history has been left behind, and the cobbled streets of the UNESCO World Heritage site listed Old Town are some of Europe's best. Wander back through time, with occasional minarets from Ottoman-era mosques rising from the tangle of Medieval history, and the smells of cinnamon, cumin, and pepper lingering above stone-paved streets. Discover inviting outdoor restaurants, which spill across flower-filled courtyards, and enjoy fresh Greek cuisine with an Eastern influence. The preserved columns of Lindos's spectacular Ancient Greek Acropolis watch out over electric blue water, while the Gothic Medieval stronghold of the 14th-century Palace of the Grand Masters of the Knights of Rhodes, adds more fascinating history to explore. Fragrant, pine tree-coated hills, and gorgeous beaches of eye-watering blue water, offer your choice of unbridled relaxation or thrilling action, and you can raise the pulse with water sports, or shelter in coves with shocks of turquoise water and monolithic rock formations.

Alexandria, Egypt
MON, MARCH 23 • 06:00 - 23:00

There is a wonderful Italo Calvino story about a city so removed from its own history that it is as if the modern metropolis sits on the site of an unrelated ancient city that just happens to bear the same name. At times Alexandria, which Alexander the Great founded in the 4th century BC, feels like that. Yet the fallen Alexandria of the ancient Greeks, of Ptolemy, Cleopatra, Julius Caesar, and the Romans, and of pagan cults and the Great Library is underfoot, quite literally, as all of modern Alexandria has been built on the ruins of the old, a city that was capital of Egypt from the 3rd century BC until AD 642, when the Arabs first arrived. Overlay a map of the contemporary city with one from antiquity, and you see that many of the streets have remained the same: Shar'a al-Horreya runs along the route of the ancient Canopic Way, and Shar'a Nabi Daniel follows the route of the ancient Street of the Soma. Near their intersection once stood the Mouseion, a Greek philosophic and scientific center that had at its heart the collection of the Great Library. Yet only fleeting glimpses of this ancient city peak through the modern crust. By the early 20th century, Alexandria was a wealthy trading port. The merchants were fantastically rich - cosmopolitan without being intellectual - and they enjoyed the sort of idle existence that is born of privilege, a privilege not of high birth but rather of colonial rule, which shielded foreigners from Egyptian law. They lived in villas with extravagant gardens, frequented luxurious shops, gossiped over tea in grand cafés, and lounged on the beach in private resorts along the coast. The population was a multicultural mix of Greeks and Arabs, Turks and Armenians, French and Levantines, Jews and Christians, and this spawned a unique atmosphere. It was this city that belonged to Constantine Cavafy, now regarded as the greatest Greek poet of his era. It was this city to which the novelist E.M. Forster, author of A Passage to India, was posted during World War I. And it was this city that gave birth to Lawrence Durrell's Alexandria Quartet, which captivated a generation of American readers when the books were published in the late 1950s. Then quite suddenly everything changed. The intellectuals and merchants fled, driven out of Egypt by the nationalist revolution of the 1950s, the wars with Israel, and the nationalization of their businesses. It's been five decades since most of the foreigners left - some Greeks and Armenians remained. But if you take the city as it is today and not as a faded version of what it once was, you will find that Alex (as it's affectionately known) remains an utterly charming place to visit. The Mediterranean laps at the seawall along the Corniche, and gentle sea breezes cool and refresh even in the dead of summer. Graceful old cafés continue to draw lovers and friends - Egyptians now, rather than foreigners - while the streets remain as lively and intriguing as ever. Alexandria is still a great city, even now, shorn of its many pasts.

Athens (Piraeus), Greece
WED, MARCH 25 • 07:00 - 00:00

A city of legend, civilization, and enduring culture, Athens is a majestic and magical urban sprawl. Extraordinary elegance and grace combine with grit and graft in Greece's capital, where highways encase ruins from antiquity, and gleaming museums and galleries stand beside concrete sprayed with edgy street art. These contrasts enhance and elevate the wonders of this 2,500-year-old city, however, which counts extraordinary contributions to philosophy, drama, and democracy, among its global legacy. Piraeus's giant port and naval base welcome you to the edge of Athens' urban area. From there it's a simple jaunt to the center. The majestic ancient citadel of the Acropolis dominates an elevated platform and is a constant presence as you explore the city. The wonderful remains of the columned temple of the Parthenon - which date back to the 5th century BC - stand here, representing the pinnacle of classical architecture. The nearby Acropolis Museum adds context to your visit and frames the broad views from its giant glass windows. Or rise up Mount Lycabettus, to be rewarded with perhaps Athens' best panorama of the Acropolis sitting high over the city on its grand stage. See the marble horseshoe of the Old Olympic Stadium, where the first modern Olympics were held in 1896, for more of the city's enduring legacy. Elsewhere, golden beaches and temples stretch out along the coastline, should you wish to explore a little further afield. Coffee is an art form to the Greeks, and it's an unwritten rule that coffee time must never be rushed. So prepare to settle down for a couple of hours and lose yourself in a good chat. Feeling hungry - try traditional souvlaki made with sauces handed from generation to generation.

Mykonos, Greece
THU, MARCH 26 • 08:00 - 18:00

Indulge in idyllic island life, as you take your fill of superb foods and wines, and soak in endless views of sweeping turquoise seascapes and pretty whitewash buildings. Known for its lively nightlife and rejuvenating, carefree outlook, Mykonos is a dazzlingly beautiful island escape. The secret is well and truly out, but nonetheless, Mykonos has managed to retain the enduring, exclusive allure that first drew celebrities like Brigitte Bardot to its star-studded shores. True to its roots, Mykonos is a rich land of culture, tradition, and swirling legend, and the island is said to be built on the frozen bodies of giants slain by Hercules and to have been the legendary battleground between Zeus and the Titans. Head out onto the crystalline waters to seek out serene islands, hit perfect beaches, or venture into the labyrinth of Mykonos Town. White facades, red roofs, and cobalt blue shutters add to this lively town's appeal. Explore narrow streets housing studios - where artisans piece together mosaics - and plenty of restaurants and bars offer sanctuary. Head to Little Venice for a waterfront view of one of the island's famed sunsets, and to enjoy an aperitif of the favorite aniseed liqueur, ouzo. Boasting numerous attractive sandy coves, a wealth of top-notch restaurants, and rich cultural appeal, it's little wonder that Mykonos is one of the most popular Greek Islands. Discover this jaw-droppingly scenic island paradise, watched over by its iconic huddles of picturesque windmills.

Volos, Greece
FRI, MARCH 27 • 08:00 - 19:00

Nestled ideally between the gentle lapping waves of the Pagasetic Gulf and Mount Pelion, Volos is a Greek seaside town worth visiting. The town enjoys a near mythic status as being home of Jason and his Argonauts, and that, along with its reputation for being ‘Land of the Centaurs’ should go some way to illustrating the degree of ancient history to be found in Volos. The city was severely damaged in an earthquake in 1955 which regrettably means that much of the 19th-century architecture has been lost or damaged. A few traces do remain however, fine examples of neo-classical architecture that are hidden away around the town. If you want your history a little older than that, the superb archaeology museum will both surprise and delight you. Not only will you find objects from the Ancient Greek era but recent excavations have unearthed artefacts from the first Neolithic settlements of Dimini and Sesklo. The city itself is flat and easy to negotiate on foot. Or better still, make like the locals and hire a bike to cycle the city. For those feeling a little more adventurous, the 8-mile cycle up Mont Pelion rewards the sporty cycler with traditional stone tavernas and breathtaking views of the region. If relaxing closer to home is more your glass of ouzo, make for Palia, the old part of Volos, famous for having some of the finest cuisine on the mainland. Head into the narrow alleys, order a tsipouradika (a combination of traditional spirit served with local mezze) and enjoy.

Thessaloniki, Greece
SAT, MARCH 28 • 08:00 - 18:00

At the crossroads of East and West, where North blends into South, Thessaloniki (accent on the "ni") has seen the rise and fall of many civilizations: Macedonian, Hellenic, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and that of the Jews and the modern Greeks. Each of its successive conquerors has plundered, razed, and buried much of what went before. In 1917 a great fire destroyed much of what was left, but the colorful past can still be seen and sensed. The vibrant city with close to 1.5 million inhabitants today - also known as Thessalonike, Saloniki, Salonika, or Salonica - has a spacious, orderly layout that is partly a result of French architect Ernest Hébrard, who rebuilt the city after the fire. Though Thessaloniki has suburbanized in the last two decades, sprawling to the east and west, the old part of the city is fairly centralized and easy to get used to. Whether you're in Ano Polis (Upper City) or along the bay, short walks here are well rewarded; you may come across parks, squares, old neighborhoods with narrow alleyways and gardens, courtyards draped with laundry, neoclassic mansions, and some of the more than 50 churches and 40 monasteries. Thessaloniki's early Christian and Byzantine monuments, with their distinctive architecture and magnificent mosaics, are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The ever-changing nature of the city continues and neighborhoods like Ladadika, a former warehouse district (which got its name from the olives and olive oil or ladi stored here), have been recycled into pedestrian zones of restaurants and clubs. The neighborhood is filled with young and old, strolling by fountains, snapping fingers to the music in the air, and savoring mezedes (appetizers) and microbrewery beers at tables spilling onto the stone squares. The appeal of Thessaloniki lies in part in its warmth, accessibility, and languid pace. The afternoon mesimeri, or siesta, is still sacrosanct (don't call people between 3 and 5 pm). Take your time exploring in-town archaeological sites and Byzantine treasures, making sure to stop for cafe-style people-watching. The two walks suggest routes for exploring highlights. It's best, however, to simply wander through the streets responding to whatever you encounter. It is hard to get lost, since the entire city slopes downhill to the bay, where you can always align yourself with the White Tower and the city skyline.

Istanbul, Turkey
MON, MARCH 30 • 07:00 - 00:00

A chaotic, colossal collision of east and west - start your day in Europe and end it in Asia, all without breaking a sweat. Sprawling across two continents, the city has been toed, froed, and yanked between countless civilizations over its history, leaving a multi-layered, majestic tapestry of culture to untangle. An army of narrow minarets puncture the skyline, while the soaring towers of palaces and labyrinths of bazaars - where bargains are the reward for brave hagglers - fill up this dynamic city of 15 million people. With a rich portfolio of Byzantine and Ottoman architecture, Istanbul enjoys one of the world's most dynamic skylines and has an intense, infectious energy. The vast Aya Sofya is the starting point for exploring this huge city's deep wealth of cultural treasures. Built-in the 6th century as a Greek Orthodox church, it was later transformed into an Ottoman imperial mosque - and latterly a museum. Cast your eyes up to take in the full scale of the colossal dome, one of the world's largest, which floats on a magnificent bed of light. See the Blue Mosque, with its glorious blue Iznik tiles, or head to the Galata Tower which was once the tallest structure in Istanbul, and is ideal for a panoramic view of the city. Grab handfuls of dates and spices, and shop for jewelry and patterned fabrics as you're swallowed whole by the Grand Bazaar - one of the world's biggest and busiest covered indoor markets. To understand Istanbul is to visit its kahvehans. Few rituals are taken as seriously as Turkish coffee - prepared to be incredibly strong. Sweeten the aftertaste with Turkish delight, or baklava, such as the smooth pistachio version called kuru baklava.

Rhodes, Greece
THU, APRIL 2 • 08:00 - 18:00

With an endless sun-soaked season, earthy history, and vibrant culture, the island of Rhodes has it all. At the crossroads between continents, and sandwiched between Crete and Turkey's coastline, Rhodes has swayed between many mighty civilizations throughout its tumultuous history. Part of the Dodecanese Islands, which are sprinkled across the blissfully blue Aegean Sea, dive into this island of dazzling beaches, historic medieval towns, and whitewashed villages. Crusted with turrets and walls, alluding to its strategic significance over the years. Incredible history has been left behind, and the cobbled streets of the UNESCO World Heritage site listed Old Town are some of Europe's best. Wander back through time, with occasional minarets from Ottoman-era mosques rising from the tangle of Medieval history, and the smells of cinnamon, cumin, and pepper lingering above stone-paved streets. Discover inviting outdoor restaurants, which spill across flower-filled courtyards, and enjoy fresh Greek cuisine with an Eastern influence. The preserved columns of Lindos's spectacular Ancient Greek Acropolis watch out over electric blue water, while the Gothic Medieval stronghold of the 14th-century Palace of the Grand Masters of the Knights of Rhodes, adds more fascinating history to explore. Fragrant, pine tree-coated hills, and gorgeous beaches of eye-watering blue water, offer your choice of unbridled relaxation or thrilling action, and you can raise the pulse with water sports, or shelter in coves with shocks of turquoise water and monolithic rock formations.

Santorini, Greece
FRI, APRIL 3 • 08:00 - 18:30

Breathlessly romantic, and incredibly scenic, the azure domes and whitewash buildings that cascade down Santorini's slopes are prime honeymoon material - and relentlessly romantic. A true gem of the Cycladic Island group, Santorini is startlingly pretty, and its white windmills and dazzling villages are incredibly easy on the eye. Envy-inducing and evocatively beautiful, Santorini's sunsets are legendary, and the island is a highlight of any voyage to the Greek islands. Look out over the endless expanse of blue waves, filling the massive volcanic caldera of Santorini - and absorb one of the most spectacular views in the world. The sheer rock shoulders of the caldera create an immense, natural amphitheater - so enjoy the show, as you sip a local, volcanic-mineral enhanced white wine, and fall in love all over again. Any meal is well rounded off with the famous wine, Vinsanto. The east side of the island may lack the incredible panoramas, but it's ideal if all you want to do is recline on volcanic-sand beaches - which range in hues from charcoal-black to flame-red. This beautiful island was forged by powerful volcanic activity, and you can learn more about the huge eruption of 1,600 BCE - which wiped out the Minoan city at Akrotiri. The eruption sank the center of the island, forming the moon-shaped topography we see now. Visit the archaeological site that has revealed and preserved the village, which was lost to time below the pumice and ash. Some whisper that this destroyed town may even be the fabled Atlantis.

Athens (Piraeus), Greece
SAT, APRIL 4 • 07:00 - 00:00

A city of legend, civilization, and enduring culture, Athens is a majestic and magical urban sprawl. Extraordinary elegance and grace combine with grit and graft in Greece's capital, where highways encase ruins from antiquity, and gleaming museums and galleries stand beside concrete sprayed with edgy street art. These contrasts enhance and elevate the wonders of this 2,500-year-old city, however, which counts extraordinary contributions to philosophy, drama, and democracy, among its global legacy. Piraeus's giant port and naval base welcome you to the edge of Athens' urban area. From there it's a simple jaunt to the center. The majestic ancient citadel of the Acropolis dominates an elevated platform and is a constant presence as you explore the city. The wonderful remains of the columned temple of the Parthenon - which date back to the 5th century BC - stand here, representing the pinnacle of classical architecture. The nearby Acropolis Museum adds context to your visit and frames the broad views from its giant glass windows. Or rise up Mount Lycabettus, to be rewarded with perhaps Athens' best panorama of the Acropolis sitting high over the city on its grand stage. See the marble horseshoe of the Old Olympic Stadium, where the first modern Olympics were held in 1896, for more of the city's enduring legacy. Elsewhere, golden beaches and temples stretch out along the coastline, should you wish to explore a little further afield. Coffee is an art form to the Greeks, and it's an unwritten rule that coffee time must never be rushed. So prepare to settle down for a couple of hours and lose yourself in a good chat. Feeling hungry - try traditional souvlaki made with sauces handed from generation to generation.

Afterward, re-board your coach for a transfer back to the pier. Please note: This tour involves a moderate amount of walking over incline surfaces and a flight of stairs to access the funicular and another flight of stairs to reach the coffee area. This tour is not suitable for guests with limited mobility and guests who utilise a wheelchair. There may be a short walk from the drop-off point to the entrance of the funicular due to the narrow streets. The width of the road and current road works do not allow the use of a large bus nor reach the area near the top at Mount Lycabettus funicular. For this reason, the coaster is forced to park at a distance from the entrance to the funicular and guests walk about 200 yards to reach the entrance and two extra flights of stairs. The funicular line runs through a tunnel, therefore it is not recommended for passengers who suffer from claustrophobia. Please note that to reach the ultimate top where the little church of St George is located there are approximately 110 steps to negotiate. The tour sequence and timeline may vary. The tour requires a minimum amount of participants to operate.

GOA-K

Explore the romantic seaside hamlet of Camogli during this bespoke, half-day sightseeing excursion. Genoa, Camogli, Guided Walking Tour Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately one hour drive to Camogli, a small fishing village and famous tourist resort located in the Genoa Province, at the base of Monte di Portofino on the Italian Riviera. Camogli dates from ancient times, as shown by traces of human settlements from the 13th-century B.C. found at Castellaro. In the same area, Roman artefacts dating back to the 2nd-century B.C. were unearthed. More recently, a document dating from the Middle Ages cites Camogli as 'Villa Camuli'. Upon arrival, take a guided walking tour of Camogli. Harbour, Colourful Houses, Beach, Basilica Santa Maria Assunta, Castello della Dragonara The village features a small harbour with colourful, highly-stacked houses built right up to the lovely beach, and offers spectacular views over the Gulf of Paradise on the Italian Riviera di Levante. The Basilica Santa Maria Assunta, largest of the town's five churches, is beautifully decorated with art and gold left by many of the town's seamen when they died. Adjacent to it is an old castle, the Castel Dragone, also known as the 'Castello della Dragonara', built during the Middle Ages as a fortress to defend Camogli from piracy attacks. In the 16th century, the castle ceased to be a fortress and was used as a prison. In the 1970s, after decades of neglect, the building was renovated and housed a small aquarium, which has since closed. Free Time & own Exploration After an exterior photo stop at the castle, some free time is made available for shopping and exploring on your own. During your own stroll, don't miss the opportunity to enjoy, like the locals do as a street food, a very special gastronomic tradition, focaccia al formaggio (focaccia with cheese). Also known as 'focaccia di Recco' after its birth village in Liguria, cheese focaccia is a real Italian street food institution, and typical of Camogli and Recco. In 2014, Focaccia di Recco became a product of Protected Geographical Identification (PGI).

The best way to understand a city is often through its food. And that’s doubly true for Genoa, the undisputed foodie capital of Liguria. This guided excursion ventures into the heart of that flavorful intrigue. MOG Departing the port by coach, you will step off at the Mercato Orientale of Genova 20 minutes later and step into a sprawling covered piazza of edible wonders. Over its three-century history, this one-of-a-kind marketplace has remained a focal point of the region’s immense culinary and cultural pride. And over the next 90 curated minutes, you will learn much about what that means, and what it tastes like. With your seasoned guide in the lead, browse this warren of stalls and discover local specialties like panissa and farinata, two typical street foods made with chickpea flour. At the wine shop, savor the simple, incomparable delight of focaccia with pesto, an iconic Genovese specialty, and nibble savory local cheeses as you enjoy two glasses of wine chosen for this tasting. Free-ranging at Piazza De Ferrari It is just a short walk from the MOG to the heart of the city, Piazza De Ferrari, with its iconic round fountain at the center and surrounding landmarks demarcating the junction of old and new Genoa. With 90 minutes free for independent exploration here, you might step into the grand Ducal Palace, typically hosting various high-profile art exhibitions. Or opt to visit the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, a Romanesque stunner that dates to the 1100s and has been extensively remodeled in the centuries since. It also famously survived a British bomb strike in WWII; the unexploded ordnance still graces the nave. Or you might prefer to simply wander awhile, engaging in some delightful retail therapy or relaxing at a corner café to watch Genoa be Genoa. Later, at the appointed time and place, rejoin your guide to reboard the coach and return to the port.

Genovese Pesto Making Experience
GOA-Q

Invented and perfected in Genoa, pesto sauce captures the fresh, shimmering warmth of the Ligurian sun as if by magic, and remains one of the most popular pasta sauces in Italy. On this delicious excursion, you will master the technique of crafting pesto yourself. Then savor your creation, slathered on Genovese focaccia and accompanied by a glass of local white wine. All within the handsome walls of a historic palazzo in the heart of the city. Your gastro-adventure begins with a short coach transfer from the port to Via Garibaldi, Genoa’s "Strada Nuova" (New Street) dating back to the mid-16th century and lined with enough beautiful palaces to warrant UNESCO designation. You will walk to one of these noble buildings and ascend to the second floor for your private chef-led demonstration of how to make traditional Pesto alla Genovese. The recipe commands DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) status, meaning that only sauces made in a specific way and with authentic ingredients can be called Pesto alla Genovese in Italy and the EU. Prepare to get your hands personally involved as you learn how to prepare the sauce using a mortar and pestle and the freshest ingredients while watching your chef prepare it. One or two volunteers may join the chef to make the experience even more interactive. Afterward, the reward for your efforts: enjoy the pesto with plump, airy Genovese focaccia and a glass of regional white wine. And after that, enjoy another hour or so of free time to explore here in the city center before meeting your guide at the preset time and place for the coach return to the port.

Discover a city with exceptional charm and a winery with some very unique appellations on this half-day excursion to the Ligurian commune of Sestri Levante. Long known as the City of Two Seas, the town occupies an isthmus nestled between two bays along the Gulf of Tigullio. Besides offering stunning views, the locals have a taste for elegant palaces with pastel-colored facades that perfectly reflect in the sea. Your hour long drive from Genoa pier to Sestri traverses coastal bluffs that set the stage for scenic beauty. On arrival, after a brief orientation from your guide, you will have about an hour to savor some of the local color independently. Then, it is time for a different sort of savoring as you continue to the Bisson winery for a cellar tour and a tasting of two glasses of wine from the estate, accompanied by snacks like local focaccia and olives. Back in 1978, Bisson’s founders recognized that some of the local wines made by Ligurian farmers had broader potential. They began to experiment with vinifying in small batches, and soon, the excellent results had revived several nearly forgotten Ligurian varietals like Bianchetta Genovese and Cimixià and sparked the creation of all-new wines like Musaico, a red with a bold personality. That success led to an audacious new goal: producing the first Ligurian sparkling wine. Today, bottles of Spumante degli Abissi are locked in metal cages and submerged in the cool depths of the Baia del Silenzio, where they age for 26 months in the dim light, gently rocked by the sea currents and return to the surface as a delicious sparkling wine like no other. That inventiveness along with the beauty of Sestri Levante make this an inspiring outing, indeed.

Genoa, Palazzo Ducale, Grimaldina Tower, Church of San Donato, Teatro della Tosse Depart the pier for the short drive to the Palazzo Ducale, where an exterior photo stop is made outside of its Grimaldina Tower. Niccolò Paganini was detained here in 1815, only to return 20 years later to play at a reception organised by the Governor of Genoa, Count Filippo Paolucci. Afterward, head to the 11th-century Church of San Donato, where Niccolò Paganini's birth documents are kept. Following a guided walking tour inside the church, continue on for an exterior visit to the Teatro della Tosse. Formerly the Teatro Sant'Agostino, it is situated in front of the Church of Sant'Agostino. It was here that Paganini held his first public academy in 1795 and performed, perhaps for the first time, the Carmagnola with variations. Carlo Felice Theatre, Basilica di Santa Maria delle Vigne, Vintage Artwork Next, continue on to the Carlo Felice Theatre. Founded in 1828, it was destroyed during World War II, then rebuilt in the 1980s and reopened in 1991.

After an exterior photo stop here, head to the late-10th-century Basilica di Santa Maria delle Vigne, situated outside the walls of Genoa in a verdant area surrounded by vineyards. The Baroque renovation of the Basilica dates back to 1640. Inside, marvel at works by Lazzaro Tavarone, Domenico Piola and Bernardo Castello. It was in this church in 1794 that a 12-year-old Paganini played in just his second public performance.

A Glide in Diros Cave
GYT-B

One of the world’s most beautiful cave complexes remained largely unexplored until the mid-20th century; today it beckons for your visit. Located on the west shore of Greece’s Laconian Peninsula, about an hour’s drive from the port, the Diros Caves are known by locals as Vlihada – a sprawling underground lake network set in the recesses of the Bay of Diros. Thrill to the sensation of subterranean discovery as you travel deep inside this natural wonderland. Board a small rowboat with your expert cave pilot, sit back, and enjoy the glide as you float gently along beneath the glow of twinkling electric lights that illuminate the cave’s dazzling geological formations. Brilliant white columns rise from the lake’s surface. Forests of impressive stalactites and stalagmites appear to reach for each other, their formations echoed in the cool water. While the total length of the cavern’s vast waterway system still remains something of a mystery, your guided journey ventures approximately a mile in – sometimes through passages tight enough to produce slight claustrophobia, if you’re so inclined. Ahh, but if you’re game for the experience, the visual rewards of penetrating this magical space far outweigh any momentary disquiet. Indeed. Full participation requires being in good physical condition and may involve inclines, steps, uneven surfaces, and/or extended periods of standing.

Nectars of the Peloponnese

Travel by coach an hour north of Gythion, crossing the Laconian plains under the imposing shadow of Taygetus Mountain to reach Sparta. Unlike the famously basic town of legend, today’s Sparta is a modern large city – and home to a venue devoted to that quintessential Greek fruit, the olive. The Olive Museum The Museum of the Olive and Greek Olive Oil highlights the cultural and symbolic importance of the olive tree, and celebrates the luscious consumables made from its bounty – a history traceable back some 50,000 years. From fossilized olive leaves to ancient clay tablets inscribed in Mycenaean ‘Linear B’ script and ponderous stone crushing presses, the museum’s fascinating exhibits illustrate the evolution of olive oil production from antiquity through the early industrial era. Your visit will immerse you in, well, all things olive. The Wine Estate Barely 20 minutes down the road sits a sprawling estate devoted to the potables produced from fruits of a different variety: the vineyards of Theodorakakos. Once held in high esteem by the nobles of the Byzantine Empire in Constantinople, the wines produced here on this family estate remain elevated in stature to this day. Among the varietals you will learn about and taste during your leisurely visit are rare local vintages crafted in the traditional fashion such as Kydonitsa and Mavroudi. You’ll no doubt find yourself agreeing with the Byzantines as to their delightful flavor.

Villages Of Mani
GYT-E

Isolated by its geography and surrounded by the Laconian and Messenian Gulfs, the southern tip of Mani Peninsula is a world unto itself. Combined with the independent nature of its inhabitants, this has enabled some of its traditions to exist separately from the rest of the Peloponnese and Greece – and to remain little changed over the centuries. Even today, you’ll see tower houses and fortified family dwellings here dating from the Ottoman era. A scenic hour’s drive from the port brings you to the first of the villages, picturesque Gerolimenas. Kissed by the crystalline blue-green sea and dwarfed by its mountain backdrop, this minute coastal village seems the kind of place one could blissfully disappear in for a decade or two off the grid. Stacked up in local stone and perched atop a seaside hill, the fortress town of Vatheia presents a stark contrast: this is a place that saw its heyday in the 19th century before contemporary urban drift led to its abandonment by 1980. Left behind is a time capsule skyline of two- and three-story towers that form a priceless architectural treasure. Rounding out your tour is rugged Cape Tainaron, sequestered on the far southern tip of Mani and in antiquity fabled to be one of the entranceways to the Underworld. In modern times, this is where the Titanic's would-be rescue ship, the SS Californian, was torpedoed and sunk by German forces in 1915. And where the 1941 Naval Battle of Cape Matapan took place offshore between the British Royal Navy and the Italian Regia Marina. You’ll surely load up your cloud storage with photos of this remarkable spot on Earth before the approximate 90-minute drive back to Gythion port.

HER-A

Explore the storied past of the Palace of Knossos during this scenic and informative, half-day sightseeing excursion. Palace of Knossos Depart the pier for the brief drive to Knossos, the ancient capital of the great King Minos. Constructed around 1900 B.C., the original Palace of Knossos was destroyed by an earthquake about 200 years later, then rebuilt on a grander scale. Knossos was devastated again with the eruption of the volcano in Santorini around 1500-1450 B.C. Despite this blow, people continued to live here for another fifty years until a fire swept throughout the city circa 1400 B.C. Upon arrival, take a guided tour through the fantastic ruins of the ancient palace complex, which served as the administrative and religious centres for the whole region. Along the way, see the living quarters of the king, queen and members of the royal court, rooms for state occasions, the theatre area, store rooms, and potters' workshops. Heraklion Archaeological Museum Following your tour, re-board your coach and proceed to the Heraklion Archaeological museum to further discover the ancient civilization. It houses representative artefacts from all the periods of Cretan prehistory and history, covering a chronological span of over 5,500 years from the Neolithic period to Roman times. The singularly important Minoan collection contains unique examples of Minoan art, many of them true masterpieces. The Heraklion Museum is rightly considered as the best in the world for Minoan art, as it contains the most notable and complete collection of artefacts of the Minoan civilization of Crete.

1 Day Private Experience Package - 2 Guests
1 Day Private Experience Package - 2 Guests
IST-104

Visit the main highlights of Istanbul with your exclusive guide on this full day excursion by private vehicle. Your private tour will involve: Byzantine Hippodrome, St. Sophia Mosque, Topkapi Palace and Grand Bazaar Free time for lunch at your leisure will be included in the itinerary and your guide will be able to make recommendations based on your requirements. Detailed Itinerary: The Hippodrome Your day will start here, at the Hippodrome, where you can picture yourself an other side of ancient life. Here, Byzantine entertainment took place, including violent gladiator fights, chariot races, and other sporting events. With seating for 100,000, this enormous stadium was at the center of Constantinople's entertainment and political life. Leaving the Hippodrome, you will have chance to view the Blue Mosque before head to your next destination. This incredible monument was completed in 1616 and is a triumph of harmony, proportion and elegance. Haghia Sophia Mosque Continue to Haghia Sophia, the 6th-century Byzantine church whose name means "Divine Wisdom", and which has been nominated the 8th wonder of the world by many historians. At one time, it may have been the largest building on the world's entire surface, and as a manmade structure ranked behind only the Great Pyramids of Egypt and the Great Wall of China. For many centuries it stood as the largest church in the world and today remains the 4th largest, behind St. Paul's in London, St. Peter's in Rome and the Duomo in Milan. The minarets that now tower above the gigantic dome were added after the conquest of Istanbul in 1453, when the church was converted into a mosque. As a testament to its grandeur, the greatest Ottoman architect, Mimar Sinan, once attested that he had spent his entire life trying to surpass its technical achievements. Topkapi Palace The next visit will be Topkapi Palace, which was the seat of the Ottoman Empire for nearly four centuries, and from where the sultans ruled over large portions of the globe. The palace, completed in 1465 and 1478, has some marvelous views both across the Bosphorus to the Sea of Marmara, and across the Golden Horn to the skyline of Galata and greater Istanbul. The Palace was in effect a self-contained city of its own, with a population of around 4,000 people, and covering an area of 70 hectares. 25 Sultans, from Sultan Mehmet II to Abdulmecit, over the course of 400 years, lived here in opulence. In 1924, only one year after Ataturk proclaimed the Turkish Republic, its official functions ceased and it was converted into a museum. Walk the grounds, explore the gardens once trodden over by Sultans, viziers, guards and women of the harem, and you will have a glimpse into a way of life that no longer exists. On you private tour you will see several sections of the Topkapi Museum's collections, including a Porcelain display containing one of the world's richest collections of Chinese and Japanese porcelain and also features the famous Harem section, the subject of numerous books and movies. Lunch at Leisure After completing the visit, free time will be provided to enjoy a local lunch. The Grand Bazaar Finally stop at the Grand Bazaar, a massive, historically important covered bazaar (the largest covered shopping space in the world), that can tempt even the thriftiest of shoppers with its unfathomable collection of precious handmade carpets, jewelry, leather and souvenirs. After completing the visits, drive back to the pier.

Visit the main highlights of Istanbul with your exclusive guide on this two-day excursion by private vehicle. Your private tour will involve: DAY 1: Underground Cistern , Byzantine Hippodrome, St. Sophia Mosque and Topkapi Palace DAY 2: Dolmabahce Palace, Suleymaniye Mosque, Spice Market and Grand Bazaar Free time for lunch at your leisure will be included in the itinerary and your guide will be able to make recommendations based on your requirements. Detailed Itinerary: DAY 1 Underground Cistern Depart the pier for a scenic drive toward the Underground Cistern. This amazing underground cavern measures roughly 210 feet wide and 420 feet long, with a capacity of 80,000 cubic meters of water. The 336 beautiful columns that support the cistern were salvaged from pagan temples destroyed during the Roman Empire's conversion to Christianity. Two of the columns are carved with the head and hair of Medusa on the plinth. The Hippodrome Continue on to the Hippodrome, where you can picture yourself an other side of ancient life. Here, Byzantine entertainment took place, including violent gladiator fights, chariot races, and other sporting events. With seating for 100,000, this enormous stadium was at the center of Constantinople's entertainment and political life. Leaving the Hippodrome, you will have chance to view the Blue Mosque before head to your next destination. This incredible monument was completed in 1616 and is a triumph of harmony, proportion and elegance. Hagia Sophia Mosque Your tour continues with a visit to the St. Sophia Mosque, also known as the 'Church of Divine Wisdom'. First erected by Constantine in 325 A.D. and later rebuilt by the Holy Roman Emperor Justinian, the mosque is considered the Eighth Wonder of the World by many historians. At one time, it may have been the world's largest building, and as a manmade structure ranked only behind the Great Pyramids of Egypt and the Great Wall of China. For many centuries, St. Sophia was the world's largest church, and today remains the fourth-largest behind St. Paul's in London, St. Peter's in Rome, and Duomo in Milan. The minarets that tower above the gigantic dome were added after Istanbul's conquest in 1453, when the church was converted into a mosque. Lunch at Leisure After completing the visit, free time will be provided to enjoy a local lunch. Topkapi Palace The next visit will be Topkapi Palace, which was the seat of the Ottoman Empire for nearly four centuries, and from where the sultans ruled over large portions of the globe. The palace, completed in 1465 and 1478, has some marvelous views both across the Bosphorus to the Sea of Marmara, and across the Golden Horn to the skyline of Galata and greater Istanbul. The Palace was in effect a self-contained city of its own, with a population of around 4,000 people, and covering an area of 70 hectares. 25 Sultans, from Sultan Mehmet II to Abdulmecit, over the course of 400 years, lived here in opulence. In 1924, only one year after Ataturk proclaimed the Turkish Republic, its official functions ceased and it was converted into a museum. Walk the grounds, explore the gardens once trodden over by Sultans, viziers, guards and women of the harem, and you will have a glimpse into a way of life that no longer exists. On your private tour you will see several sections of the Topkapi Museum's collections, including a Porcelain display containing one of the world's richest collections of Chinese and Japanese porcelain and also features the famous Harem section, the subject of numerous books and movies. At the end of the tour, you will return to the pier. DAY 2 Dolmabahce Palace, Service Buildings, Clock Tower, Rear Garden Depart the pier for the short drive to the official residence of the Ottoman Sultans after Topkapi Palace. Dolmabahce Palace was built in 1856 by Sultan Abdülmedjid, and, from this point on, served as the official residence of the Ottoman Sultans. The expansive, 151,559-square-yard (about 110,000-square-metre) Dolmabahce Palace consists of 16 separate sections, in addition to the main structure. Those sections are buildings with different functions, such as palace stables, mills, pharmacies, kitchens, aviaries, glass shop, foundry, and a patisserie shop. During the reign of Sultan Abdülhamid II (1876 - 1909), the clock tower and the lodges in the rear garden of the Crown Prince's apartment were added. Suleymaniye Mosque Continue on to the Suleymaniye Mosque, it is considered one of Sinan's masterpieces. Situated atop one of the city's seven hills, the massive mosque designed for Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent is Sinan's largest structure. Among its innovative construction features were the use of Juniper trees to absorb the shock of earthquakes; two hundred and fifty-five pots suspended from the central dome to provide better acoustics and thermal insulation; an ingenious system of controlling the air currents inside to collect the large amount of candle soot produced by the over 300 candles used for illumination each day. Upon completing the visit, free time will be provided for lunch. The Egyptian Bazaar (Spice Market) Following lunch it will be time for Egyptian Bazaar, which was built in 1664 as part of the Yeni Cami complex and is so named because the shopkeepers here used to sell spices and herbs brought from or through Egypt. During the Ottoman period, in fact, only spices were sold here. Today it contains a wide variety of shops selling goods including dried fruit, pastries, basketwork, haberdashery, drapery, and of course, spices. The Grand Bazaar Finally stop at the Grand Bazaar, a massive, historically important covered bazaar (the largest covered shopping space in the world), that can tempt even the thriftiest of shoppers with its unfathomable collection of precious handmade carpets, jewelry, leather and souvenirs. After completing the visits, drive back to the pier. Full participation requires being in good physical condition and may involve inclines, steps, uneven surfaces, and/or extended periods of standing. 2 Days Private Experience Package - 2 Guests CODE: IST-100 DURATION 16 HOURS ACTIVITY LEVEL EXTENSIVE Full participation requires being in good physical condition and may involve inclines, steps, uneven surfaces, and/or extended periods of standing.

Byzantine City Walls Depart the pier for the drive through Old Istanbul, crossing the Galata Bridge. Your guide will point out the Suleymaniye Mosque, one of the most important mosques of the Ottoman Empire, before you drive along the city walls surrounding the ancient city. Byzantine Hippodrome After panoramic drive, visit the Byzantine Hippodrome, once the heart of Constantinople's political and sporting life, and monuments on the site include the Snake Column from Delphi and an Egyptian Obelisk taken from the Temple of Karnak at Luxor. Hagia Sophia Mosque The next visit in the morning part of your program will be St. Sophia Mosque, also known as the 'Church of Divine Wisdom'. First erected by Constantine in 325 A.D. and later rebuilt by the Holy Roman Emperor Justinian, the mosque is considered the Eighth Wonder of the World by many historians. At one time, it may have been the world's largest building, and as a manmade structure ranked only behind the Great Pyramids of Egypt and the Great Wall of China. For many centuries, St. Sophia was the world's largest church, and today remains the fourth-largest behind St. Paul's in London, St. Peter's in Rome, and Duomo in Milan. The minarets that tower above the gigantic dome were added after Istanbul's conquest in 1453, when the church was converted into a mosque. Lunch After this enchanting visit, proceed for lunch to one of the best restaurants of Istanbul that specializes in traditional Ottoman Palace recipes. Underground Cistern This amazing underground cavern measures roughly 210 feet wide and 420 feet long, with a capacity of 80,000 cubic meters of water. The 336 beautiful columns that support the cistern were salvaged from pagan temples destroyed during the Roman Empire's conversion to Christianity. Two of the columns are carved with the head and hair of Medusa on the plinth. Following your exploration of the reservoir, proceed for a visit to the Grand Bazaar. Grand Bazaar The world's largest covered market, this famous institution occupies a whole city quarter. Sections spanning a maze of lanes and alleys separate the various trades. A short orientation and general directions are offered before setting out on your own to browse the precious handmade carpets, jewellery, leather and souvenirs.

Hippodrome Depart the pier for a scenic drive toward the Hippodrome, the centre of Byzantium's life for nearly 1,000 years, and for another 400 during Ottoman rule. With seating for 100,000, the Hippodrome was Constantinople's political and entertainment hub, hosting gladiator fights, chariot races, and other sporting events. The most prominent monument remaining today is the impressive granite obelisk, brought here from Egypt in 390 A.D.. Leaving the Hippodrome, You will have chance to view the Blue Mosque before head to your next destination. This incredible monument was completed in 1616 and is a triumph of harmony, proportion and elegance. Hagia Sophia Mosque Your tour continues with a visit to the St. Sophia Mosque, also known as the 'Church of Divine Wisdom'. First erected by Constantine in 325 A.D. and later rebuilt by the Holy Roman Emperor Justinian, the mosque is considered the Eighth Wonder of the World by many historians. At one time, it may have been the world's largest building, and as a manmade structure ranked only behind the Great Pyramids of Egypt and the Great Wall of China. For many centuries, St. Sophia was the world's largest church, and today remains the fourth-largest behind St. Paul's in London, St. Peter's in Rome, and Duomo in Milan. The minarets that tower above the gigantic dome were added after Istanbul's conquest in 1453, when the church was converted into a mosque. Grand Bazaar or Spice Market Your tour concludes with a visit to the Grand Bazaar. The world's largest covered market, this famous institution occupies a whole city quarter. Sections spanning a maze of lanes and alleys separate the various trades. A brief orientation and general directions are offered before setting out on your own to browse the precious handmade carpets, jewellery, leather, and souvenirs.

Whirling Dervish & Local Dining Experience
IST-Q

Experience a taste of traditional Turkish culture and cuisine during this private, half-day sightseeing excursion exclusively for Silversea guests. Istanbul, Dede Efendi Museum, Wooden Mansion, Former Efendi Home, Private Visit Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately 30-minute drive to the Dede Efendi Museum. Dede Efendi is one of the biggest names in classical Turkish music. The influence of his works today are as fresh as when he first created them. Efendi wrote hundreds of songs, and composed music for the Mevlevi dervishes. The Dede Efendi Museum is housed in a lovely old wooden mansion that was once Dede's home. Today, this historical museum has been opened privately, and exclusively, for the benefit of Silversea guests. Mevlevi Ritual The son of Mevlana, Sultan Veled, and his associates considered the day of death a day of celebration and founded the Mevlevi order on the thoughts of Mevlana. The Mevlevi Ritual has been performed in Mevlevi Temples (or lodges) for hundreds of years. The whirling ritual, which is performed by Semazens, is proverbially associated with dervishes, the practice of the Mevlevi order in Turkey, and is part of a formal ceremony known as 'Sema', a means for man to reach actual existence. The Mevlevi ritual symbolizes the mystical meaning of divine love, passion, and spiritual maturity. The ritual whirling of the Semazens is an act of love, and a drama of faith. Sema Ritual, Ali Ocakbasi Restaurant, Turkish Cuisine, Kebabs The Sema ritual begins with local musicians playing ancient musical instruments with wonderful sounds, as the acoustics are very fine. Slowly, the Dervishes magically begin to spin with one hand to the ground and one hand to heaven, and their performance starts; a truly captivating cultural demonstration you've likely never experienced before. Following the ritual, re-board your coach and proceed to Ali Ocakbasi Restaurant, one of the best kebab restaurants in Istanbul with a Michelin recommendation.

Livorno (Tuscany), Italy

(Wheelchair Accessible) Pisa
(Wheelchair Accessible) Pisa
LIV-008

This tour involves a moderate amount of walking of about 0.7 miles and is specially designed for guests with limited mobility and guests who utilize a wheelchair or a scooter. Start your Accessible Livorno Shore Excursion to Pisa by meeting your driver/guide at the Livorno cruise dock. Board your wheelchair accessible van, and enjoy the approximately 40-minute drive into the scenic town of Pisa. Pisa Since the beginning of the tourist brochure, Pisa has been known for just one thing, the Leaning Tower. However, this world-renowned landmark is but one component of the city's amazing religious core, the Campo dei Miracoli. Here, the Duomo, Baptistery and Camposanto complete an unrivalled quartet of medieval masterpieces. These and a dozen or so churches and palazzo scattered about the town belong to Pisa's 'Golden Age', which took place from the 11th to the 13th centuries when the city was still a port, and one of the maritime powers of the Mediterranean. Campo dei Miracoli Since it was first laid out, Pisa's ecclesiastical centre has been known as the Campo dei Miracoli, or 'Field of Miracles'. The sight of it is as stunning today as it must have been to medieval travellers. Nowhere in Italy are the key buildings of a city arrayed with such precision, and nowhere else is there so beautiful a contrast of stonework and surrounding meadow. Leaning Tower of Pisa Your next stop is the Leaning Tower of Pisa (outside visit only). Underneath the pavement and turf of the Campo dei Miracoli lies a platform of saturated sandy soil, whose instability accounts for the tilting of the Leaning Tower. Begun in 1173, construction of the tower subsided when it had reached just three storeys in height. Over the ensuing 180 years, a succession of architects continued to extend it upwards until it was finally completed and topped with a bell-chamber in 1350. The Duomo Leaving the Leaning Tower, proceed to the Duomo for an outside visit. The Duomo was built in 1064, a century before the Campanile. With its four levels of variegated colonnades and subtle interplay of dark grey marble and white stone, the Duomo is the archetype of the Pisan Romanesque style; a model often imitated but never surpassed. The Baptistery A visit is then made to the Baptistery. The third building of the Miracoli ensemble, the circular Baptistery is a bizarre mix; its three storeys of Romanesque arcades peak in a crest of Gothic pinnacles and its dome is shaped like the stalk of a lemon. After some free time, rejoin your accessible Van for the 40-minute ride to Livorno. Excursions are at an easy pace without the need for excessive walking or physical activities. Being able to board buses and negotiate steps that may be encountered Designed for guests unable to navigate bus steps. This level is ideal for full-time wheelchair/scooter users, slow walkers, and their party. The vehicle on this type of tour has an access ramp (or lift where available) to accommodate a limited number of mobility devices.

Castagneto Carducci & Exclusive Visit to Castello della Gherardesca
LIV-010

Experience the medieval beauty, grandeur and legacy of the Castagneto Castle during this Exclusive opening and visit only for few Silversea Guests. Livorno, Castagneto Carducci Village Centre, Palazzo Comunale, Via Marconi Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately one-hour drive to Castagneto Carducci, one of the most popular villages on the Etruscan Coast of Tuscany. Perched on a hillside less than 6.2 miles (about ten kilometres) from the sea, the village centre of Castagneto has grown around the imposing medieval castle located on the hilltop. Upon arrival, take a guided walking tour of this charming old village, a peaceful holiday destination that comes very much alive during the summer months. Along the way, see the imposing Palazzo Comunale, with its dominant position at the beginning of Via Marconi, a long street that makes its way downhill towards the coast. The Palazzo Comunale houses the city's Town Hall, and its offices. Castagneto Castle and Gates, Cobblestone Streets, Village Next, a very pretty lane leads you to the 10th-century Castagneto Castle, where you are escorted on an exclusive guided tour of the period rooms and family portrait gallery. See the spectacular view from the original rampart walk running between two lovely, enclosed gardens. Castagneto Carducci today is a lived-in castle and private mansion that is not typically open to the public. It has belonged to the same noble family of the Counts della Gherardesca for 32 generations, where the siblings of the current generation come to spend their summer holidays and reside during the year. Walk through the gates of the castle to enter the small cobblestone streets of the picturesque village, observe the local country lifestyle and enjoy many wonderful, unique and exclusive photo opportunities. Guided Castle Tour, Family Portraits, Period Furnishings, Maps, Coat-of-Arms Next, take a guided tour of the Castagneto Castle. The modern use of this imposing castle hasn't erased its history, which lives through the family portraits, period furnishings, maps and family trees with the most pedigreed Italian lineages intertwined. The coat-of-arms itself, the Half-Imperial Eagle, granted by Frederick I Holy Roman Emperor, embodies the major characteristics of the dynasty. The colour red evokes the heraldic copper and enemies' blood, and the colour gold symbolizes the land, fortified castles and property of the family that defended Tuscany from the costal invasions of Moors and Saracens. All of this speaks the language of the eldest spirit of the Tuscan art of war. Refreshment, Free Time, Castagneto Carducci Village Following your castle tour, proceed for a refreshment including Prosecco, Juices and Canapes that will be served in the garden or in one of the state rooms. Afterwards, some free time is made available to explore the village of Castagneto Carducci with his charming alleyways.

This city is universally recognized as a city of art, for its precious and incomparable artistic heritage that includes monuments of different styles, rich museums such as the Uffizi gallery and the Pitti Palace, and magnificent villas. Florence under the influence of its governors, the Medici, became a thriving economic and cultural center in the panorama of Medieval Europe.

Discover the exquisite beauty, art and architecture of Florence during a full-day tour of this historic city, along with some time for independent shopping and exploration. Florence is the Italian city most celebrated by artists and poets. Each street, palace and building is living evidence of its glorious past and proud people. Depart the pier in Livorno via coach for the approximate two-hour drive to Florence, with a comfort stop made en route. Upon arrival, meet your guide and commence your walking tour of the city. Upon arrival in Florence, your escort will accompany you from the parking lot to Piazza Ognissanti, where you will meet your tour guide for a guided walk of the city. Ponte Vecchio After approximately 15 minutes of walking from Piazza Ognissantim you will reach to Ponte Vecchio, also known as the 'Old Bridge'. Ponte Vecchio dates back to 1345 and is the only bridge in Florence to escape being blown up during World War II. It originally housed the workshops of the butchers before they were driven away by the Grand Duke, Ferdinando I, due to the terrible noise and stench they created. Ponte Vecchio was subsequently used as a workplace for goldsmiths and silversmiths; their shops still remain here to this day. Piazza della Signoria Located closed by Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria is Florence's second major piazza, and the political centre of the city because of its Town Hall, or 'Palazzo Vecchio'. The Piazza della Signoria is also known as an open-air museum thanks to its many statues, which include Cellini's Perseus, Giambologna's The Rape of the Sabine Women, Ammannati's Neptune Fountain and a replica of Michelangelo's famous David. Piazza del Duomo Following Piazza della Signoria you will reach Piazza del Duomo with an external visit of St. Mary of the Flower Cathedral. The church is adorned with an impressive façade decorated in white, green and pink Tuscan marble. Highlights to be seen during your visit include the Bell Tower, designed in 1334 by Giotto, and the Baptistery. Its celebrated doors, known as the 'Gates of Paradise', were commissioned in 1401 and designed by Lorenzo Ghiberti. Piazza di Santa Croce The final stop on your guided tour is the eastern quarter of Santa Croce, home of the Piazza di Santa Croce. Upon arrival, an outside visit is made to the Franciscan Basilica that dominates this large square. Over the years, the basilica's construction involved a renowned cast of Florentine architects and masters, including Brunelleschi, Vasari, Giotto and Donatello. Each summer, the Piazza Santa Croce plays host to the 'Calcio in Costume'. During this historical game, the hefty men of the four quarters of Florence battle it out in an ancient mix of wrestling and soccer and are cheered on by residents and visitors alike. For most of the year, however, the square is a peaceful open space surrounded by stately palazzo, and intimate pizzerias and restaurants. Following your guided tour, ample time is made available for lunch on your own and shopping. At the conclusion of your visit, walk from the Piazza Santa Croce to the pick-up point at Piazza Ognissanti and from here to the parking lot, then re-board your coach for the 1.5-hour return drive to the pier.

LIV-A

Discover the exquisite beauty, art and architecture of Florence during a full-day tour of this historic city, along with some time for independent shopping and exploration. Florence is the Italian city most celebrated by artists and poets. Each street, palace and building is living evidence of its glorious past and proud people. Depart the pier in Livorno via coach for the approximate two-hour drive to Florence, with a comfort stop made en route. Upon arrival, meet your guide and commence your walking tour of the city. Upon arrival in Florence, your escort will accompany you from the parking lot to Piazza Ognissanti, where you will meet your tour guide for a guided walk of the city. Ponte Vecchio After approximately 15 minutes of walking from Piazza Ognissantim you will reach to Ponte Vecchio, also known as the 'Old Bridge'. Ponte Vecchio dates back to 1345 and is the only bridge in Florence to escape being blown up during World War II. It originally housed the workshops of the butchers before they were driven away by the Grand Duke, Ferdinando I, due to the terrible noise and stench they created. Ponte Vecchio was subsequently used as a workplace for goldsmiths and silversmiths; their shops still remain here to this day. Piazza della Signoria Located closed by Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria is Florence's second major piazza, and the political centre of the city because of its Town Hall, or 'Palazzo Vecchio'. The Piazza della Signoria is also known as an open-air museum thanks to its many statues, which include Cellini's Perseus, Giambologna's The Rape of the Sabine Women, Ammannati's Neptune Fountain and a replica of Michelangelo's famous David. Piazza del Duomo Following Piazza della Signoria you will reach Piazza del Duomo with an external visit of St. Mary of the Flower Cathedral. The church is adorned with an impressive façade decorated in white, green and pink Tuscan marble. Highlights to be seen during your visit include the Bell Tower, designed in 1334 by Giotto, and the Baptistery. Its celebrated doors, known as the 'Gates of Paradise', were commissioned in 1401 and designed by Lorenzo Ghiberti. Piazza di Santa Croce The final stop on your guided tour is the eastern quarter of Santa Croce, home of the Piazza di Santa Croce. Upon arrival, an outside visit is made to the Franciscan Basilica that dominates this large square. Over the years, the basilica's construction involved a renowned cast of Florentine architects and masters, including Brunelleschi, Vasari, Giotto and Donatello. Each summer, the Piazza Santa Croce plays host to the 'Calcio in Costume'.

Explore the fascinating streets and squares of Lucca during a scenic and memorable half-day tour of this historic medieval city. Lucca endears itself to everyone who visits, hidden behind imposing Renaissance walls with cobbled streets, handsome piazzas and shady promenades; it makes for a perfect destination to explore by foot. Depart the pier for the approximate 45-minute drive to Lucca. Upon arrival, your tour begins inside the massive red bricks walls, which were built between 1504 and 1645, and are amongst the best-preserved Renaissance defenses in Europe. Lucca Lucca is enclosed by massive red brick walls, which help to give the city its special character by shutting out traffic and the modern world. Within these walls, Lucca is a peaceful city of narrow lanes, preserving intact its ancient Roman street plan. Unlike several other Tuscany's cities, Lucca is flat; many locals use bicycles, which impart an additional charm to the city. This memorable outing is ideal for those looking to experience a Tuscan city that is rich in history, art and architecture, but is hidden from the crowds of tourists. Church of San Michele Along the way, an inside visit is made to the Church of San Michele in Foro, which stands on the site of the ancient Roman Forum. It has a wonderfully-rich Pisan Romanesque façade that competes in splendour with that of St. Martin. Guinigi Tower Another outside visit is then made to the Guinigi Tower, one of many in Lucca that belonged to the Guinigi family, rulers of the city in the 15th century. The tower has a small roof garden, with some trees sprouting incongruously at the top. Anfiteatro Romano Next, proceed to the Anfiteatro Romano, formerly the ancient Roman Amphitheatre. Today, it is enclosed by medieval houses that were built up against the walls of the amphitheatre. It's perfectly-preserved shape reminds us that Lucca was founded by the Romans in 180 B.C. Church of San Frediano From here, continue on to the Church of San Frediano, which is adorned with a striking façade and a 13th-century mosaic (outside visit only). Inside, there is a splendid Romanesque font and beautiful frescoes. In the chapel dedicated to Santa Zita, her well-preserved body is interred. Church of San Martino Your next stop is the Church of San Martino (outside visit only). Lucca's extraordinary cathedral, its façade abuts incongruously on to the campanile. St. Martin is the Roman soldier depicted on the façade dividing his cloak with a sword to share with a needy beggar. Via Fillungo The guided portion of your visit concludes at Via Fillungo, Lucca's principal shopping street, which winds its way through the heart of the city towards the Roman Amphitheatre.

Medieval Lucca
Medieval Lucca
LIV-C

Explore the fascinating streets and squares of Lucca during a scenic and memorable half-day tour of this historic medieval city. Lucca endears itself to everyone who visits, hidden behind imposing Renaissance walls with cobbled streets, handsome piazzas and shady promenades; it makes for a perfect destination to explore by foot. Depart the pier for the approximate 45-minute drive to Lucca. Upon arrival, your tour begins inside the massive red bricks walls, which were built between 1504 and 1645, and are amongst the best-preserved Renaissance defenses in Europe. Lucca Lucca is enclosed by massive red brick walls, which help to give the city its special character by shutting out traffic and the modern world. Within these walls, Lucca is a peaceful city of narrow lanes, preserving intact its ancient Roman street plan. Unlike several other Tuscany's cities, Lucca is flat; many locals use bicycles, which impart an additional charm to the city. This memorable outing is ideal for those looking to experience a Tuscan city that is rich in history, art and architecture, but is hidden from the crowds of tourists. Church of San Michele Along the way, an inside visit is made to the Church of San Michele in Foro, which stands on the site of the ancient Roman Forum. It has a wonderfully-rich Pisan Romanesque façade that competes in splendour with that of St. Martin. Guinigi Tower Another outside visit is then made to the Guinigi Tower, one of many in Lucca that belonged to the Guinigi family, rulers of the city in the 15th century. The tower has a small roof garden, with some trees sprouting incongruously at the top. Anfiteatro Romano Next, proceed to the Anfiteatro Romano, formerly the ancient Roman Amphitheatre. Today, it is enclosed by medieval houses that were built up against the walls of the amphitheatre. It's perfectly-preserved shape reminds us that Lucca was founded by the Romans in 180 B.C. Church of San Frediano From here, continue on to the Church of San Frediano, which is adorned with a striking façade and a 13th-century mosaic (outside visit only). Inside, there is a splendid Romanesque font and beautiful frescoes. In the chapel dedicated to Santa Zita, her well-preserved body is interred. Church of San Martino Your next stop is the Church of San Martino (outside visit only). Lucca's extraordinary cathedral, its façade abuts incongruously on to the campanile. St. Martin is the Roman soldier depicted on the façade dividing his cloak with a sword to share with a needy beggar. Via Fillungo The guided portion of your visit concludes at Via Fillungo, Lucca's principal shopping street, which winds its way through the heart of the city towards the Roman Amphitheatre. Following your walking tour re-boarding your coach for the return drive to the pier. Full participation may include a limited number of steps, uneven surfaces, and/or periods of standing.

Discover the beauty of Pisa during this scenic, half-day tour of the city's historic landmarks, including the world-renowned Leaning Tower of Pisa. Since the beginning of the tourist brochure, Pisa has been known for just one thing, the Leaning Tower. However, this world-renowned landmark is but one component of the city's amazing religious core, the Campo dei Miracoli. Here, the Duomo, Baptistery and Camposanto complete an unrivalled quartet of medieval masterpieces. These and a dozen or so churches and palazzo scattered about the town belong to Pisa's 'Golden Age', which took place from the 11th to the 13th centuries when the city was still a port, and one of the maritime powers of the Mediterranean. Pisa Depart the pier for the approximate 45-minute drive to Pisa. Upon arrival at the parking area, walk to the Campo dei Miracoli and commence the guided portion of your tour. Campo dei Miracoli Since it was first laid out, Pisa's ecclesiastical centre has been known as the Campo dei Miracoli, or 'Field of Miracles'. The sight of it is as stunning today as it must have been to medieval travellers. Nowhere in Italy are the key buildings of a city arrayed with such precision, and nowhere else is there so beautiful a contrast of stonework and surrounding meadow. Leaning Tower of Pisa Your next stop is the Leaning Tower of Pisa (outside visit only). Underneath the pavement and turf of the Campo dei Miracoli lies a platform of saturated sandy soil, whose instability accounts for the tilting of the Leaning Tower. Begun in 1173, construction of the tower subsided when it had reached just three storeys in height. Over the ensuing 180 years, a succession of architects continued to extend it upwards until it was finally completed and topped with a bell-chamber in 1350. Leaving the Leaning Tower, proceed to the Duomo. The Duomo The Duomo was built in 1064, a century before the Campanile. With its four levels of variegated colonnades and subtle interplay of dark grey marble and white stone, the Duomo is the archetype of the Pisan Romanesque style; a model often imitated but never surpassed. The Baptistery A visit is then made to the Baptistery. The third building of the Miracoli ensemble, the circular Baptistery is a bizarre mix; its three storeys of Romanesque arcades peak in a crest of Gothic pinnacles and its dome is shaped like the stalk of a lemon. Piazza dei Cavalieri Leaving the Campo dei Miracoli, visit the Piazza dei Cavalieri. One of Pisa's most interesting sites, the Piazza dei Cavalieri is a large square that opens unexpectedly from the narrow back streets, and includes the site of the Roman Forum. The central civic square of Medieval Pisa, the Roman Forum was subsequently remodelled by Vasari and became the headquarters of the Knights of St. Stephen. Palazzo dell'Orologio On the western side of the square is the Renaissance-adapted Palazzo dell'Orologio. In 1208, the military leader Ugolino della Gherardesca, along his sons and grandsons, was starved to death in its tower as punishment for his alleged duplicity with the Genoese enemy. Following your guided walking tour, walk back to the parking area and re-board the coach for the approximately 45-minute drive back to the pier.

LIV-009

Meet your guide at the pier and board the minibus for the 60-minute drive to reach San Miniato. Wine Estate Fattoria Collebrunacchi First stop will be at Fattoria Collebrunacchi. Fattoria Collebrunacchi is located on the San Miniato hills, between the provinces of Pisa and Florence. It is a family-run agricultural business that spans 60 hectares of land, of which 4 are cultivated with vineyards, 20 with arable crops, and 25 are wooded. The farm specializes in the production of local products, particularly those from the truffle-producing region. The production of wine is the most well-known activity of Fattoria Collebrunacchi, which dates back to the 14th century and is still made today with great care and attention to detail. The land on which the farm is located is particularly fertile, at an altitude of around 180 meters above sea level. This is due to the fact that the area is characterized by deep, shaded valleys and extremely sunny ridges, along with the presence of fossils and shells from the Pliocene period, approximately three million years ago, which provide the soil with a rich supply of calcium and minerals. In fact, this part of Tuscany was submerged by the sea up to two million years ago, leaving numerous traces behind. Garden and Country House Tour, Wine Tasting We will visit the garden, where you will be impressed by the building, as well as the many lemon, orange, and cypress trees. From here, you can also spot a charming little church that belongs to the property. The garden offers a view of the vineyards that belong to the farm, which are scattered among the hills of San Miniato. The wine tasting will take place inside the house, which is very unique. It’s an authentic country home, complete with a traditional kitchen and a fireplace. The house is furnished with antique furniture, rugs, and mounted animal heads. It’s a lived-in home, filled with paintings, utensils, and various knick-knacks. San Miniato Medieval town, Enoteca Marilu, Lunch & Wine Pairing with Emiko Davies and Marco Lami Your will reboard your minibus and head 15 minutes away into the hilltop town of San Miniato, which sits on the ancient pilgrim route, the Via Francigena, where you will have a private, exclusive three course lunch prepared by cookbook author and food writer Emiko Davies at Enoteca Marilu, the multifunctional space - a natural wine shop/bar + cooking school - Davies and husband, sommelier Marco Lami (formerly head of the wine program at legendary restaurant Cibreo, in Florence) have recently inaugurated in the heart of the town. Marco will continue his wine lesson through the first course of the lunch, which is an antipasto platter where you will learn how to pair wine with food. This will be a rather technical experience, focusing on the deliciousness of food but also on how to match what's in the dish with what's in the glass (i.e., you will have to put both food and wine in your mouth at same time and chew together to understand if the pairing works). Marco will show this through a tasting of 4-5 food and wine elements, e.i. bubbles + fried food; tannins + proteins; nutty + truffles - we are in San Miniato after all - sweet + spicy, plus a dessert wine pairing with blue cheese. This will be followed by a pasta dish (e.g., handmade pasta like pici or ravioli, perhaps gnudi) and a dessert which will be paired with a dessert wine and a cheese. After lunch, you will be driven back to the port of Livorno. Full participation may include a limited number of steps, uneven surfaces, and/or periods of standing.

S.A.L.T. Fire & Grapes: an Italian Barbecue Feast with Wines on the Tuscan Hills
LIV-007

Fattoria Sardi, Lucca Hills, Vineyards The hills outside Lucca provide fertile terroir for some of Italy's most coveted wines and Fattoria Sardi has quickly become a reference for the country's biodynamic and organic production. With over 40 acres cultivated with Sangiovese, Vermentino Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, harvested by hand, Sardi's production includes rosé, red and white wines full of character (there is also an exceptional sparkling Pet Nat). Nestled between the Apuan mountains and the Tyrrhenian Sea, the vines benefit from abundant sunshine, constant ventilation, and cool nights. The farm, which was founded in the 18th century and beautifully restored in 2006, is managed by a young couple. It boasts woods, olive groves, orchards, wheat and legume fields, as well as rooms for its guests and a dedicated chef's table, custom-built for one of Italy's most talented young culinary talents, Damiano Donati. Donati, formerly of Lucca's award-winning Punto restaurant, created a full experience around fire-cooking using the best local, seasonal ingredients. He even designed 2 special barbecues, personally supervising their manufacture by local artisans, and a Georgian oven (similar to a tandoor), which he built himself. Vineyard & Cellar Tour You will depart from the port of Livorno with your English-speaking guide and your driver, towards the Fattoria. Here you will be greeted by the farm's staff who will introduce the farm's slow and sustainable philosophy and guide you on a tour of the vineyards and the cellar Chef Damiano Donati You will then meet chef Damiano Donati: his culinary philosophy is based on selecting the best ingredients and preparing them in the way that most enhances their natural flavors, while maintaining their nutritional values intact, whether it's oven baked pasta, roasts, stews or grilled vegetables and legumes cooked in clay pots, Tuscan-style. He also makes delicious sourdough bread with heirloom local wheat in the farm's own wood fired oven. Unsurprisingly he lands a hand in the estate's winemaking (though his specialty is cider). Lunch & Wine Pairing Donati will cook right in front of you, and together you will then enjoy an authentic Italian feast, with mixed antipasti (vegetables and legumes), pasta, fire-cooked meat and dessert, accompanied by a tasting of Fattoria Sardi's wines. Remember as you enjoy the best flavors of Tuscany, to take a deep breath, look around you and take in the arresting view. It doesn't get much better than this. Time to start the 60-minute drive back to the Port of Livorno. Excursions are at an easy pace without the need for excessive walking or physical activities.

The farm, which was founded in the 18th century and beautifully restored in 2006, is managed by a young couple. It boasts woods, olive groves, orchards, wheat and legume fields, as well as rooms for its guests and a dedicated chef's table, custom-built for one of Italy's most talented young culinary talents, Damiano Donati. Donati, formerly of Lucca's award-winning Punto restaurant, created a full experience around fire-cooking using the best local, seasonal ingredients. He even designed 2 special barbecues, personally supervising their manufacture by local artisans, and a Georgian oven (similar to a tandoor), which he built himself. Vineyard & Cellar Tour You will depart from the port of Livorno with your English-speaking guide and your driver, towards the Fattoria. Here you will be greeted by the farm's staff who will introduce the farm's slow and sustainable philosophy and guide you on a tour of the vineyards and the cellar Chef Damiano Donati You will then meet chef Damiano Donati: his culinary philosophy is based on selecting the best ingredients and preparing them in the way that most enhances their natural flavors, while maintaining their nutritional values intact, whether it's oven baked pasta, roasts, stews or grilled vegetables and legumes cooked in clay pots, Tuscan-style. He also makes delicious sourdough bread with heirloom local wheat in the farm's own wood fired oven. Unsurprisingly he lands a hand in the estate's winemaking (though his specialty is cider). Lunch & Wine Pairing Donati will cook right in front of you, and together you will then enjoy an authentic Italian feast, with mixed antipasti (vegetables and legumes), pasta, fire-cooked meat and dessert, accompanied by a tasting of Fattoria Sardi's wines. Remember as you enjoy the best flavors of Tuscany, to take a deep breath, look around you and take in the arresting view. It doesn't get much better than this.

These two picturesque villages date back centuries; Les Baux de Provence offers a majestic hilltop location with sites of historical interest and the celebrated Cathedral of Images. Saint Rémy is embraced by a wide, leafy boulevard; the lazily charming old town is a maze of winding streets, cafés, squares and fountains with two exceptional attractions on its edge. Depart the pier for the brief drive through the Provençal landscapes en route to the little mountain range known as the Small Alps, or 'Les Alpilles', home of incredibly scenic village of Les Baux de Provence. Les Baux de Provence, Lunch Upon arrival, take a guided tour of a traditional olive oil mill for a tasting of its products. After this delightful tasting, take a guided walking tour of the impressive ruins of a former 11th-century citadelle, which is perched on a rocky plateau. Some free time is then made available to explore the village and browse the many Provencal shops. Enjoy Lunch in a local restaurant before your next destination. St. Remy de Provence Continue your drive to Saint Rémy de Provence, which acts as a sort of link between the Arles area and the Provence of the Popes. Although it has every appearance of being no more than a prosperous farming community, this small town is inextricably linked to the unavoidable 'tourist route' through Provence. Philosopher Nostradamus was born in a house on Rue Hoche in St. Remy, only later moving to Salon de Provence to compile his famous, influential prophecies. Three centuries later a tormented Vincent Van Gogh sought refuge in St. Remy where he painted some of his best known works.

Wheat, grapes, sugar. Romans, Greeks, Arabs. The many layers that make up Sicily's history and gastronomic tradition inspire this tasty tour that will take you from an iconic artisanal candy shop in the famous market of Ballarò to one of Tasca d'Almerita's most beautiful estates, in the countryside just outside of the city, where you will feast your eyes and taste buds thanks to great wines, extraordinary pasta (made by a local family with Sicilian Durum wheat) and the best cannoli, freshly made for the occasion. Your Host: Costanza Chirivino Young Costanza Chrivino's heritage traces back to 3 of Italy's greatest dynasties of food and wine (Tasca d'Almerita, Sallier de La Tour and Chirivino); with a Master's Degree in Culture and Communication, she enjoys being the face of Sallier de La Tour and traveling the world on a mission to share this beautiful story of Italian excellence. Ballaro' Market, Historic Candy Shop At the pier, meet your guide and your host and start a short panoramic drive until the picturesque market of Ballarò, in the heart of Palermo, where you will start this rather unique experience. Rather than heading for the usual touristy joints, you will visit the historic "bottega" (shop) of Azienda Terranova, a family business born in 1890, where 5 generations of "maestri caramellai" have made square-shaped hard candy out of the best carob, star anise and sugar. In time, their sweet treats have become iconic, a true hallmark of the best artisanal candy making tradition of Sicily. Sallier de la Tour Wine Estate, Private Visit with the Owner, Walk through the Vineyards From there, with a 60-minute drive, you will head out of Palermo, towards the green slopes and vineyards of the Sallier de La Tour estate, one of the magnificent properties of counts Tasca d'Almerita, worldwide-famous winemakers. The estate, which sits in the heart of the Doc Monreale (the cradle of Syrah), is exclusively reserved for your visit. Costanza, the owner of Sallier de La Tour will lead you on a walk through the vineyards, sharing many anecdotes from the history of this noble family and introducing the 3 different Syrah produced by the over one century-old estate, as well as the other wines made from autochthone grapes Grillo, Inzolia and Nero d'Avola. Wine Tasting and Cellar Visit, Sicilian Feast Lunch, Live Pasta Cooking, Cannoli Live Preparation You will taste the wines and visit the cellar, and then move over to a delicious feast, featuring the artisanal pasta of another local legend, Pastificio Feudo Mondello (recently visited by none other than chef Alain Ducasse!), where local heirloom varieties of Durum wheat are stone-milled and turned into delicious pasta, hearty, velvety, porous, cooked in front of your eyes and tossed in wooden troughs. With the pasta, you will also taste a selection of traditional dishes, from the Sallier de la Tour family cookbook. To top it all off, you will experience the poetry of the artisan pâtissier from nearby Piana degli Albanesi mixing the dough for your cannoli's casing and filling them right before handing them to you with freshly whipped sheep's milk ricotta. This is unlike any other cannolo you will taste, as the recipe for the casing is different from all others. But don't go asking for the recipe: it's a well-kept secret, and has remained such for centuries… After this memorable day rich in flavors and souvenirs, reboard your coach for the 60-minute drive to the pier.

A large stretch of coast is visible - from the Feniglia strip of land - nowadays a nature reserve - to the southern coast of Tuscany.

Porto Santo Stefano, Siena, Skyline, Palaces, Towers, Landmarks Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately two-hour drive to Siena. Often described as the best-preserved medieval city in Italy, beautiful Siena is a medieval ensemble of palaces and towers cast in warm, pastel-colored bricks. The pride of the city is its skyline, which is dominated by the Gothic Cathedral and taut needle of the Torre del Mangia. However, the shell-shaped Piazza del Campo likely captures the most attention and fame, as it has been featured in films, photographs, and advertising campaigns.

Upon arrival, you may begin your guided walking tour or opt to explore the city at your leisure. Although it looks much as it did in the early-14th century, Siena is no museum. Its medieval Contrade, 17 neighborhoods into which the city has been historically divided, are a vibrant part of modern life. Along the way, you may see symbols of the Contrade; the turtle (tartuca), goose (oca), porcupine (istrice), and tower (torre) are emblazoned on banners and engraved on the walls of building. San Domenico Church, Cathedral, Piazza del Campo, Free Time, Shopping, Maremma Region The guided tour features a pleasant stroll through the medieval streets of Siena.

Your destination is Le Mortelle Winery run by Marchesi Antiorini, of the Antiorini family that has been engaged in the art of winemaking for over six centuries. In 1385, the owner's ancestor Giovanni di Piero Antiorini became a member of the Florentine Winemakers' Guild ("Arte Fiorentina dei Vinattieri"). On your one-hour drive, discover the stunning, picturesque Tuscan country roads that lead to some of the most prestigious wine estates in the region. Situated on a gentle, sloping terrain, the vineyard boasts 170 hectares (420 acres) of vines including Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and several white grape varieties including Vermentino, Ansonica, and Viognier.

A visit is then made to the palace, which served as a wartime fortress, a peacetime residence for the Grand Master and a meeting place for senior knights. Old City Walking Tour Next, take a guided walking tour along the cobblestone streets of the Avenue of the Knights, where the knights once lived. To this day, the street exudes a noble and forbidden aura; its lofty buildings stretch in a 1,968-foot-long (600-metre-long) unbroken wall of honey-coloured stone blocks, and its flat façade is punctuated by huge doorways and arched windows. Archaeological Museum A visit is then made to the Archaeological Museum, which is housed in the 15th-century Knights Hospital. Here, see many artefacts and exquisite statues dating back as far as the 4th century B.C. The most famous exhibit in the museum is the parian marble statue, the Aphrodite of Rhodes. At the conclusion of your tour, you may opt to re-board the coach for the brief drive back to the pier, or remain in town for further exploration and return to the ship on your own. Please note: This tour involves a moderate amount of walking for approximately 0.5 miles (about 0.8 kilometres) on cobblestone streets, with approximately 50 steps to negotiate at the Palace of the Grand Masters. This tour is not suitable for guests with limited mobility or those who utilise a wheelchair. Wear light-weight clothing and bring sun protection.

Village of Oia Nestled in a fertile countryside, the village of Oia is among the most picturesque towns of the Cyclades Islands. This dramatic little village, built on a steep slope of the caldera, has many of its dwellings nestled in niches hewn into the volcanic rock. Once the home of wealthy seafarers of the past; still evident are their two story mansions painted in a spectrum of pastel colors. As you traverse its narrow cobbled streets you will come across many tiny shops which offer a varied and unusual collection of handmade works of ceramic art, paintings and semi-precious jewelry. Coffee shops perched on the edge of the cliffs offer spectacular views of Fira and the volcano. Canava Distillery & Ouzo Tasting Departing Oia, your next stop is at Canava distillery & museum. Here, guests can enjoy a visit of the distillery, with its antique distilling equipment, and a stroll through the museum. Within the newly-restored home, guests can see its recreated workplaces and rooms reflective of the people in Santorini's recent past. Every room is replicated using original items tirelessly collected over the years. Afterward, enjoy a taste of the spirits produced in Santorini's first distillery. Guests wishing to purchase some products can do so (please note that credit cards are not accepted). At the end of tour, return through the beautiful countryside back to the port of Athinios where your tender will await to take you to the ship.

Medieval Carcassonne
Medieval Carcassonne
MPL-A

Take a walk through French history during this picturesque, full-day guided tour of the medieval walled city of Carcassonne. Since the pre-Roman period, a fortified settlement has existed on the hill where Carcassonne now stands. In its present form it is an outstanding example of a medieval fortified town, with its massive defenses encircling the castle and the surrounding buildings, its streets and its fine Gothic cathedral. Carcassonne Depart the pier for the scenic, approximate two-hour drive along the highway to Carcassonne. Although this majestic site was inhabited as early as the 3rd century B.C., the expansive walled city we see today was gradually built between the 4th and 13th centuries A.D. Arguably, nowhere else in Europe exists a more intact walled city of this importance and in such an impressive setting. Upon arrival, a short guided orientation tour of Carcassonne offers a unique insight into its past and present. This fairy-tale collection of drawbridges, towers and atmospheric cobbled streets is a must-see on any trip through this part of southern France. Its medieval core, the cité, was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1997. Although both the Romans and Visigoths were here, Carcassonne really flourished under the well-to-do Trencavel family of the late 12th century. Approximately 3-hour free time is afforded to have a meal on your own, and browse the myriad of shops and attractions.

Ancient Dion
SKG-C

Visit the ancient city of Dion, located on the mountain where the gods of Greek mythology once resided and the most important sacred city of the Ancient Macedonians. Ancient Dion From the port of Thessaloniki, a one-hour scenic drive south takes you to the renowned archaeological park where you will discover exciting remains of this once important centre of worship. The town was founded in the 5th century B.C. at the foot of Mount Olympus, home to the gods of classical Greece. Here at Dion, festivals and games took place that lasted nine days. They were dedicated to the divinities of art and culture, known as the nine muses. Alexander the Great is said to have offered a sacrifice to the gods before heading with his fleet to Minor Asia. Dion grew and flourished until the 5th century A.D., when an earthquake brought everything to a standstill. Guided Walking Tour Start your visit exploring the part outside the walls that has been transformed into a park. Your walk will take you past sanctuaries of the Olympic gods, a Roman theatre and the Hellenistic theatre, still used today during the summer festival for performances. Then continue with your visit inside the walls. As you follow your guide through the streets of the ancient city, you can see the Roman baths complex and the Odeon. Farther along is the Sanctuary of Ascleipious, whose worship was connected with the healing of the body, and the Villa of Dionysos with its unique mosaic floor. Archaeological Museum Your visit to the museum complements what you have seen in the Archaeological park. Exhibits on two floors feature remains from the first cult of Zeus and its sanctuary near the site of Mt. Olympus, including vases, jewellery and statues from the Villa of Dionysos. Construction materials, building tools and coins unearthed during the excavation provide a look at everyday life in ancient Dion. The tour concludes with a return drive back to the pier.

Discover the treasures of Thessaloniki - perhaps the world's greatest living Byzantine museum - and the rich surrounding area of Macedonia, with its inspirational scenery and history of many heroes. This half-day excursion offers a great opportunity to visit the Royal Tombs at Vergina, believed to be the ancient Macedonian capital of Aigai. Macedonian Royal Dynasty The Macedonian Royal Dynasty included descendants of Hercules - the greatest hero of all. Philip II was the first person to ever unite the Greek city, but his noble fame was far surpassed by his brilliant and unparalleled son, Alexander, whose greatness is still discussed and envied today. One of the most important archaeological discoveries of recent times occurred just over 30 years ago with the unearthing of the intact tombs of the Macedonian Royal Family, including the tomb of Philip II. Vergina - Archaeological Site of Aigai Depart the pier and travel to Vergina and the sacred city of the Macedonian Kings at Aigai, excavated in 1938. Aigai served as the capital of Macedonia until the 5th century B.C., when Pella was built. It was the burial site for all Macedonian royalty and tradition held that the Macedonian Dynasty would collapse if one of the kings was ever buried elsewhere. This superstition became fact when, after his death in Babylon, Alexander was interred somewhere in Asia and the Dynasty fell. Museum of the Royal Tombs of Aigai Next, visit the impressive Royal Tombs and the museum, which displays the finds from the site and the untouched tomb of Philip II - assassinated here in 336 B.C. One of history's greatest generals, Philip was robbed of the fame he truly deserved by the greatness of his son Alexander. The artifacts from his tomb, only recently discovered, rate among the most prized collections ever found and the artistic quality of the relics offered new insights into the Macedonian culture. Among the finds are the famous Golden Larnacs with the great king's remains, a golden wreath of oak leaves with exquisite acorns still attached, the king's armor and a great gold-and-ivory ceremonial shield. Also on display are miniature ivory statues of the royal family, including a rare portrait of Alexander. Following you visit, re-board you coach for a return drive to Thessaloniki and the ship.

Fallas of Valencia: an intangible Heritage of Humanity
VAL-M

Have you ever heard of Fallas? It is perhaps one of the most famous festivals celebrated in March in Valencia. The city transforms into an open-air museum of ephemeral monuments, accompanied by music, regional costumes, and the scent of powder. However, preparations for this festival can be seen and felt throughout the city year-round. This tour will take you to the heart of this artistic and traditional movement, providing a firsthand look at all the elements involved in this magical celebration. Scenic Tour and Fallas Artistry We will begin our day with a panoramic tour of the city. Our first stop will be the “City of Arts and Science,” featuring the Hemispheric, which has become one of the most emblematic buildings in modern Valencia. Following the shoreline of the Turia River, we will head to the “Ciutat Fallera” (City of Fallas), where you can meet local artists who craft the Fallas monuments, which are displayed throughout the city in mid-March and ultimately set ablaze during the main event—Nit de la Crema. Museo del Artista Fallero Next, we will visit the Museo del Artista Fallero, where you will have the opportunity to see the Ninots—collected figures pardoned each year from being burned. An experienced local artist will guide you through several warehouses, explaining the process of creating a Ninot de la Falla, how they are moved to the streets, and details about their burning. Prepare to be immersed in a world of art, vibrant figures, and imaginative shapes that will make your visit truly breathtaking. Snacks and Sightseeing After exploring the warehouses, we will enjoy a typical Valencian snack and refreshments alongside the artists themselves.Following this, we will reboard the bus and travel to downtown Valencia, passing by the famous Palacio de los Marques de Dos Aguas.

Discover the premiere attraction in Volos and explore the city's ancient past during this picturesque, full-day journey to the spectacular Meteora Monasteries. Depart the pier for the approximate 2.5-hour, 85-mile (137-kilometre) drive inland to the Meteora Monasteries. En route, proceed through the fertile plain of Thessaly and Larissa, the provincial capital, before reaching Kalambaka. This quaint country town provides a convenient base for visiting the Meteora area and its monasteries, the main attractions in this part of Greece. A brief comfort stop is made (optional) before ascending the road leading up from Kalambaka and visiting the monasteries. Meteora Monasteries Towering above the plain is the unique phenomenon of the Meteora Monasteries. Here, the awesome landscape features immense granite rocks soaring hundreds of feet skyward, with many of them crowned by 600-year-old monasteries clinging to the crest-like eagles' nests. At various points, caves once occupied by hermits can be seen in the rock face. Monks formed communities on mountain crests of dizzying heights, and took refuge from plundering bandits. Originally built with wooden balconies overhanging sheer drops, the monasteries were accessible through net baskets hauled up by ropes. Later, steps were cut into the rock and, more recently, a road was constructed. Only six of the original 24 monasteries are still inhabited. Two have become nunneries, going against an initial ruling that barred women from entering these institutions. Few of the monasteries are open to the public; today, visit two of them. Lunch Both monasteries are of considerable interest and offer spectacular views out to the distant Pindus Mountains. Afterward, re-board your coach, drive back down to the plain via an alternate route and stop for a Greek lunch. After lunch, re-board your coach for the approximately 2.5-hour return drive to Volos.
