Syracuse (Italy) was one of Sicily’s most prestigious cities and at the height of its splendour competed with Athens. Visiting Syracuse is like stepping back in time to plunge oneself into the fabulous history of Sicily. Since its role as a central city of ancient Greece, numerous civilisations have followed one another to these shores, each leaving their mark.

Jewel of Italy’s Campania Region, Naples is home to some magnificent palaces, sumptuous Baroque churches and countless romantic squores. Classed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1995, the old district’s rich artistic and cultural history is without equal. Nearby, the ruins of Pompeii provide a grandiose and moving vision of what was once a great city at the height of the Roman Empire. Having been asleep under a blanket of ash for so long, objects, houses and beautiful frescoes have been preserved almost intact. Pompeii offers a valuable insight into the past and is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Day 7 - Rome

Arrive: Sat 12 September 2026 / Depart: Sat 12 September 2026

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.
