Italy, Southern Europe & Mediterranean

Italy, Southern Europe & Mediterranean

The golden sun warms the landscape and travelers' souls in Southern Europe countries. Blue skies adjoin even bluer waters, and rolling countrysides fade into fascinating cities, where the offerings are as exotic as the surroundings. A Mediterranean trip itinerary may begin in Italy - a country renowned for its rich culture, incredible cuisine, luscious wine, pretty towns, and cosmopolitan cities. Trips may also dedicate their entirety to discovering the intricacies of this world-class destination from top to toe, exploring its ancient sites, like Pompeii, and its stunning coastlines between memorable excursions. Explore regions like Tuscany where a little bit of everything can be found, from local cuisines and wines to historic art to hiking the Tuscan hills. Mediterranean vacation packages may also venture to Spain, connecting coastal Barcelona with Madrid or Seville on the interior by high-speed train. Spanish traditions and undeniable ambiance surround each destination. Travelers can also connect Spain's cities with Portugal's incredible Douro wine region by embarking on a river cruising expedition aboard a luxurious ship. Closer to Portugal's oceanside, Porto - beloved for its Port Wine production - and the colorful city of Lisbon further weave the story of Southern Europe. Whether embarking on a guided tour or an independent adventure, it is hard not to fall in love with the vibrancy of the Mediterranean.
