Route

Day 1: Venice 17:00

Venice, city of art, melancholy and prestige. This extraordinary architectural decoration stands on an archipelago of small islands, separated by a network of canals crossed by some 400 bridges, which in the past were made of wood and stone, but were later replaced by other stone bridges, all shaped as arcs. The square, which is the true heart of Venice and a symbol of the Venetian, is an architectural gem, one of the most beautiful places all over Italy, a miracle made of trachyte and Istrian stone. In the past, several civil and religious ceremonies took place in the city as well as the magical celebration of the Carnival. The cafes and shops that surround it are still a point of meeting, which animates the city in a very lively way.

Day 2: Bari 13:00 – 20:00

Bari, the second south Italian metropolis, became a major agricultural industrial and commercial center, born of a dynamic port and important trade crossroad with the Middle East. Bari is made up of four different urban sections. To the north is the closely built old town on the peninsula between two modern harbours, with the splendid Basilica of Saint Nicholas, the cathedral of San Sabino (1035–1171) and the Castello Svevo of Frederick II, which is now also a major nightlife district. To the south is the Murattiano section, the modern heart of the city, which is laid out on a rectangular gird-plan with a promenade on the sea, and the major shopping district (the via Sparano and via Argiro).

Day 3: Corfu 08:00 – 13:00

Corfu, the island of Homer, has always enchanted visitors with its picturesque landscapes and delightful climate. The island has suffered the Venetian domination for many years, then later became a British protectorate. These influences are quite recognizable in the Renaissance and Gérogienne architecture of the main town, including the arcades of the central square and Corfu’s cricket ground.

Day 4: Valletta 08:00 – 13:00

IThe Greeks were convinced of the divine origin of this island that occupies a privileged position at the center of the favorable currents, at the strategic pivot of the two basins of the Mediterranean coast between North Africa and Sicily. Valletta hosts buildings from the 16th century onwards, built during the rule of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem (the Knights Hospitaller). The city is essentially Baroque in character, with elements of Mannerist, Neo-Classical and Modern architecture in selected areas, though World War II left major scars on the city. The City of Valletta was officially recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1980.

Day 5: Naples 08:00 – 13:00

The origins of this extraordinary historical and cultural center, whose culinary and musical traditions have been exported around the world are rather old. According to legend, the city of Naples’ origins are rooted in the myth of the Siren Parthenope (”of the voice of virgins”). Her body washed up on the shore of nearby Megaride, a tiny island in the Bay of Naples, was found by the locals, who respectfully interred her remains in Mount Echia, now the hill of Pizzofalcone. Dominated by Mount Vesuvius, whose smoking headdress plumes every corner of the city and each illustration, which represents it represents, Naples is undoubtedly a very exciting city, both because of its geographical position and the abundance of historical artifacts and monuments. Vesuvius is the only active volcano in mainland Europe, and has produced some of the continent’s largest volcanic eruptions. Located on Italy’s west coast, it overlooks the Bay and City of Naples and sits in the crater of the ancient Somma volcano. Vesuvius is most famous for the 79 AD eruption which destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Day 6: Savona/Nice 09:00
