Stops of your itinerary: 

Venice-Italy

No visit to the romantic city of Venice could ever be considered complete if it failed to include a trip on a typical Venetian gondola, rowed by a traditional gondolier. As you make your way from canal to canal, you can admire the beautiful bridges, the magnificent royal palaces and the typical narrow Venetian streets, called calli, from a unique perspective. The excursion includes free time in St. Mark's Square, home also of St. Mark's Cathedral, after an informative and comprehensive walk around the calli with a local guide brings your tour to an enjoyable close.

Bari-Italy

This interesting tour of Bari gives you a chance to take a leisurely walk around the historical quarter of Bari Vecchia and its medieval architecture. A visit to the Basilica of St. Nicholas is included. Founded towards the end of the 11th century A.D., the basilica has now been an important religious pilgrimage site for nearly a millennium. An exterior viewing of Bari's old Norman castle is also on the tour itinerary. You will have some free time to spend as you wish before the tour ends with a quick trip around the city's modern district.

Mykonos-Greece

As one of the Cycladic Islands, Mykonos has enjoyed great popularity as a holiday destination since the 1950s, offering travellers traditional Greek hospitality plus a lively nightlife against a backdrop of stunning beaches, whitewashed houses and a scenic interior. Just what makes the island so appealing is revealed in the course of this leisurely walking tour, which is set to showcase the rarely seen corners of town, its hidden gems, narrow winding streets and secluded walled gardens. In addition, if the layout of Mykonos town appears confusing, it is. Specifically designed that way to thwart pirate attacks, the town continues to flummox all but the locals to this day.

Heraklion-Greece

You do not need to have an expert's knowledge of Greek history or Cretan civilizations to appreciate the fabulous Minoan Palace of Knossos. More than just a collection of stones or ruins, the Palace structure is still visible and visitors can wander the maze of rooms.
Come and pay homage to Dionysus, the Greek god of wine-making and revelry! Leave the port and drive southwards through ancient vineyards that have flourished here since the Minoan period, around 1,600 BC. First stop will be at a modern winery to see a film to learn how wine is produced today before tasting the flavoursome, sherry-like Cretan wine.
Drive along the coastal road and through the spectacular ravine of Saint George to Kritsa passing some villages on the way. Upon you arrival, right at the entrance of the village, you will find the Byzantine church of Panagia Kera which boasts 700-year old frescoes depicting Biblical stories.

Corfu-Greece

In the days of ancient Greece, Corfu marked the final stage of the legendary trip made by the mythological Greek god, Odysseus, on his journey home to Ithaca. While hardly of epic proportions, this tour will certainly give you a chance to enjoy Corfu's lush landscape as you travel around the island.
What is green and rocky and situated in the Ionian Sea? The beautiful Greek island of Corfu, of course. This popular holiday destination is known for its incredible countryside, relaxed lifestyle and any number of gorgeous beaches. Upon leaving the port, a coach will take you to one of these lovely beaches for a few hours of pure relaxation.

Dubrovnik-Croatia

Enjoy Dubrovnik in all its historic splendour with this excursion that takes you through the narrow streets and along the ramparts of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk through the city and admire the Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary, a masterpiece of stone with an interior adorned with Venetian paintings.
The town was given its original name Dubrava, meaning grove of the oak, by the Slavs. You will admire the Rector's Palace, seat of the government and residence of the Prince (Rector) of the Dubrovnik republic.
