Day 3 - Ajaccio

Arrive: Sat 27 May 2017 / Depart: Sat 27 May 2017

Even on the beautiful island of Corsica, towns don't come much prettier than Ajaccio, Napoleon's birthplace, where the warmth of Italian Dolce Vita and the style and cuisine of France combine to create an atmosphere that's quite unique.

Day 4 - Villefranche (Nice)

Arrive: Sun 28 May 2017 / Depart: Sun 28 May 2017

Villefranches's circular bay is perhaps the loveliest harbour in the South of France. And, quite aside from its undeniable natural beauty, it's also conveniently situated for other attractions. Elegant Nice with its charming port and magnificent hotels. And, of course, Monte Carlo with its infamous Casino, tiny Royal Palace and the world-famous Oceanographic Museum established by Jacques Cousteau

Day 5 - La Spezia

Arrive: Mon 29 May 2017 / Depart: Mon 29 May 2017

Tucked into the Ligurian coastline between Genoa and Pisa, is the pretty town of La Spezia – one of Italy’s most important military and commercial harbours. But it’s not this that attracts so many. La Spezia is the gateway to the UNESCO World Heritage Site called Cinque Terre – a collection of five coastal villages perched on the coastline. Monterosso al Marc is famous for its beaches. Vernazza is a charming fishing port decorated with colourful buildings. Cornigilia is perched high above sea level with painted houses clinging to the cliff face. Peaceful Manarolais is modern in comparison and boasts a rocky cove. While Riomaggiore is a pretty town with attractive tall houses marching up the hillside.

Day 6 - Rome

Arrive: Tue 30 May 2017 / Depart: Tue 30 May 2017

Legendary fountains, piazzas, ancient architecture and cathedrals await your discovery in Italy's capital. At the Trevi Fountain capture the magic of Rome's grandest fountain. Gaze up at the horizon and you'll no doubt see St Peters Basilica. Visible from nearly everywhere in the city, it is built on the site where St Peter was martyred and buried. Witness the beautiful paintings of Michelangelo at the magnificent Sistine Chapel. And no visit to Rome would be complete without a visit to its imposing amphitheatre, the Colosseum.

Day 7 - Messina

Arrive: Wed 31 May 2017 / Depart: Wed 31 May 2017

The island of Sicily is separated from Italy by the Strait of Messina, and retains an air of independence from its motherland. Messina, has wide avenues, a stunning harbour and is located close to the classical ruins of Tindari and the ancient city of Taormina. A mountainous and rugged land, Sicily is dominated by Europe's largest volcano, Mt. Etna. With four live craters around its summit, this is one of the most active volcanoes in the world.
