Itinerary for Rome & Eastern Med Jewels

Day 1 - Fly UK to Rome / Enjoy rome

Day 2 - Embark on Queen Victoria in Rome / Rome

Your gateway to the Eternal City, Civitavecchia has served as Rome's seaport since the 13th century. The port has a long and venerable history. The emperor Trajan built a pleasure villa near the modern city, while Bernini and Michelangelo designed the harbor fortifications. Yet the Eternal City eternally beckons. The ancient capital of the Western World and the center of Christianity for nearly 2,000 years, Rome provides an inexhaustible feast. Visit the ruins of the Forum, view the splendors of the Sistine Chapel, or climb the Spanish Steps, once the heart of Rome's Bohemian Quarter. Rome has been a magnet luring the world's greatest artists, architects, and philosophers since the days of the Caesars.

Day 3 - At Sea

Day 4 - Cephalonia

An authentic, rugged and definitely non-touristy Greek island community, Cephalonia’s unspoilt and timeless allure is a wonderful setting for a true love story – including Captain Corelli's Mandolin. The largest of the Ionian islands, Cephalonia is home to just 30,000 residents, living mainly in the coastal towns and resorts. Others live much as they have done for centuries, in remote mountain villages.

Day 5 - Corfu

Corfu boasts some of the most stunning scenery in the Greek Isles. Drive along the coastline and through the mountainous interior to see the Achilleon Palace built by the Empress Elizabeth, join in an island celebration and feast, or explore the winding streets of Old Town.

Day 6 - Kotor

Nestled deep in an atmospheric and secluded bay, the fortified city of Kotor in Montenegro is steeped in history. Characterized by winding streets and squares its magic and attraction are undeniable. Kotor’s ninth-century walls blend into the mountainside by day, but then bathe in light when night falls. Within these dramatic walls lies a town of mazes of walkways and irresistible charm.

Day 7 - Dubrovnik

Ever visited a 14th century pharmacy? Things have changed a little since then, but it's well worth a look during your visit to a Franciscan monastery. Don't froget to stroll along the promenade and medieval city walls.

Day 8 - At Sea

Day 9 - Venice (Trieste)

A little slice of eternal Italy that sits between Slovenia and the Adriatic Coast. Trieste is a charming destination which has been furnished decorously by grandeur and royalty through the centuries. The heart of the medieval old city and its neo-classical Austrian quarter offer great expressions of this seaport’s colourful past. The food is divine, the culture vibrant, and ambience quite unique.

Day 10 - Zadar, Croatia

Zadar is a historic place, with Roman ruins and medieval churches to explore. Meanwhile, the cosmopolitan cafés and restaurants are great places to relax and enjoy the town’s distinct ambience.

Day 11 - Split

A vast third-century compound, The Palace of Diocletianis is Split’s main attraction. Its fortresslike complex houses an arched entrance court, temples, mausoleums, statues and even Egyptian Sphinxes. Gorge on an emperor’s banquet of delicious local fish and cheeses on Dalmatia’s coast – it’s a fitting feast after exploring the white Roman palace.

Day 12 - At Sea

Day 13 - Malta

For more than 250 years, this was the last stronghold of the Knights of Malta. An optional excursion reveals the Grand Master's Palace, doubtless one of the Mediterranean's finest treasures.

Day 14 - At Sea

Day 15 - Sorrento

Perched on the rugged Almafi coast, Sorrento is best known for its laid-back cafés and beaches. Oozing southern Italian charm, this is the place to relax and cherish every moment, admist the peaceful lemon groves.
