Rome
Upon our arrival in Italy, we will settle into our 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 dine at some of the best local restaurants for our Dine Around 2010 Program and have the option to attend an audience with the Pope.

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 ports, 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 having the option of 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 Paros. They will then switch locations before meeting up again in Athens. All students will then travel to Kalamata for a week of fun at our beachfront resort. Our program will finish in Athens, where we will celebrate with our farewell banquet and awards night - opa!

The Landlovers’ Option
Students wanting to opt out of sailing can enjoy those three nights at Santorini and rejoin the group at Paros.
