Rome
Upon our arrival in Italy, we will settle in to our home for the next two weeks: a four-star hotel nestled in the heart of Rome. From here 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. We will also venture further afield with excursions to Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Florence.

Greece
The second half of the program combines sailing in a flotilla of yachts through the beautiful Cyclades Islands and relaxing at our beachfront resort in Kalamata on the south shore of the Peloponnesus. On the yachts, sailing through the crystal-clear blue waters, frequent stops in delightful villages, white sand beaches, and historic landmarks will make learning a sheer pleasure. In Kalamata, we will enjoy the comforts of our luxurious beachfront resort while exploring nearby Olympia and Ancient Sparta.
Half of our students will begin this exciting journey on our sailing yachts, while the other half will begin on the beach in Kalamata. They will then switch locations before meeting up again in Kalamata. Our program will finish in Athens where we will have our farewell dinner - opa!
