Rome and the Greek Islands
Join us in exploring the beauty of these two
Mediterranean countries! First we will travel to
the Eternal City and encounter all that Rome has
to offer. Then we will head south to Greece to visit
the picturesque islands of the Aegean Sea, and
the breathtaking shores of Kalamata from our
beachfront resort.
Upon our arrival in Rome, we will
explore all the wonders of the Eternal City.
From the Vatican to the Forum and the
Colosseum, we will be immersed in the
history and culture of Italy’s metropolitan
capital.
The second half of our program
combines sailing in a flotilla of private
yachts through the stunning Greek
Islands, and then sunbathing at a tranquil
beachfront resort in Kalamata, located on
the south shore of the Peloponnesus.
The
final leg of our journey takes place
in Athens, one of the oldest cities in the
world, where we will visit the Acropolis
and shop in the bustling Plaka.
