are preserved, followed by a tour of the exterior of the Church of Saint Gregory. Built during the10th and 11th centuries, its

interior is divided into three naves which lead to three apses.

The tour proceeds with a visit of the exterior of the famous Castello Normanno-Svevo (Norman-Swabian Castle), a defensive

bulwark of the old town that has come to symbolise the whole city. Built by the Normans in the 12th century, it was destroyed

in 1156 and rebuilt at the behest of Frederick II between 1233 and 1240. The manor is one of the most interesting

fortifications in the region, above all because of its strategic location. The castle, which is a fascinating example of a medieval

construction, has numerous extensions that were built in successive periods. Today it hosts occasional events and temporary

exhibitions.

Once we leave the old part of the city we move to the città nuova (the new city) where we have some free time to explore the

surroundings as we please. We then go for a walk along the seafront promenade, Bari's pride and joy, which features

numerous imposing buildings from the 1930s.

The visit to the old city involves walking for approximately 2 hours.

Dress code that is appropriate for the places of worship to be visited is recommended.

This excursion is not recommended for guests with mobility problems.

What we will do

We leave Bari by coach and we reach Alberobello, a picturesque town in the Murge area known the world over for its trulli,

the typical domed, cylindrical white dwellings that have earned two districts of the town a place on the UNESCO list of World

Heritage Sites. Trulli - which are typical of the Itria valley - are still used as houses today. They are modular dwellings with a

roughly circular plan with internal rooms distributed around a central space. The thickness of the walls and the almost total

absence of windows ensures an optimal thermal equilibrium; warm in winter and cool in summer.

Accompanied by a local guide we visit the two most typical rioni (neighbourhoods) of Alberobello: Rione Monti - which covers

about 15 hectares in the southern part of town - where there are about 1000 trulli arranged in 8 delightful streets, and used

mainly for tourist accommodation and as artisan workshops, and the Rione Aia Piccola in the south-eastern part of town,

where there are about 400 trulli used exclusively as residential dwellings ('Aia Piccola' is Italian for little barnyard, and refers

to a space once used for the threshing of wheat). We have some free time here for shopping.

Before returning to Bari there is another stop to taste some typical local products.

The transfer to Alberobello takes approximately 1 hour each way.

It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes.


In case of heavy traffic, the excursion may last longer.

The New City

What we will do

We leave the port and start our tour on our bikes riding along Bari's beautiful seafront, the elegant pride and glory of the city

that winds its way up to the city gates. The Bari seafront promenade represents one of the most complete expressions of the

urban transformation processes that took place during the fascist period and it boasts many imposing buildings, most of which

were built during the1930s.

Our itinerary takes us near the Basilica of Saint Nicholas - built in the Apulian Romanesque style during the Norman

domination - where the relics of the famous patron saint of the city are preserved.

We then come to the famous Castello Normanno-Svevo (Norman-Swabian Castle), a defensive bulwark of the old town that

has come to symbolise the whole city. Built by the Normans in the 12th century, it was destroyed in 1156 and rebuilt at the

because of its strategic location. The castle, which is a fascinating example of a medieval construction, has numerous

extensions that were built in successive periods. Today it hosts occasional events and temporary exhibitions.

After this trip back in time, we have some free time to wander on foot into the new city, whose endless hustle and bustle and

vitality have earned it the title of Southern Italy's second city.

What we will do

Our excursion, which includes a visit to two of the finest examples of Italian architecture, starts at the Basilica of Saint Nicholas

, which was built in the Apulian Romanesque style during the Norman domination. It is here that the relics of the city's famous

patron saint are preserved. Its construction dates back to the year 1087 AD when, following the legendary expedition of 62

sailors from Bari to Myra, the sacred relics of Saint Nicholas were brought to the city.

We then proceed by coach to the second destination of our excursion: Castel del Monte, the symbol par excellence of the

melting pot of artists and scholars of many different nationalities and races that were hosted at the court of Frederick II of

Swabia. The castle, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is traditionally believed to have been built around 1240. It lay

abandoned for centuries until 1876 when it became a place of great interest to experts of history of art and astronomy,

scientists and architects, who even today are amazed by the perfection of a mathematically imperfect structure.

The building has an octagonal plan with a 24-metre high octagonal tower at each corner. The interior is divided into two floors

that are raised with respect to the forecourt. Observing the building in detail, it is amazing to note that not one of the façades

of the internal octagonal courtyard is the same as any other, yet the beauty and harmony of the building as a whole is quite

beguiling. The castle was built from three main materials (limestone, white marble and breccia corallina, a type of sedimentary

rock with a pink hue), which are carefully distributed to produce the right chromatic effect.

What we will do

After leaving the port, we set off to discover one of the numerous attractions of the island of Corfu, which the Greeks call

Kerkyra. It is no surprise that Princess Sissi, the Empress Elizabeth of Austria, chose the island as a refuge, far from the

obligations of the Habsburg court. The Empress, who was prone to solitude, loved spending time on this peaceful island,

admiring its rolling landscape. She therefore had a magnificent villa, Achilleion, built here in neoclassical style. Following her

death it was purchased by Emperor Wilhelm II, who was also enchanted by the beauty of Corfu. Accompanied by our guide,

we step back into the past, admiring the sumptuous frescoed rooms decorated with classic motifs, the works inspired by Greek

mythology, and the furniture and customs associated with this enchanting residence dedicated to the Empress's favourite

hero: Achilles. We then gaze at the magnificent Italian-style gardens that slope towards the sea.

This charming visit continues to one of the most beautiful places in Corfu: Kanoni, a small island from where the white

monastery of Vlacherna can be seen, connected to the mainland by a small bridge. We will have the opportunity to take

photos to remember this truly evocative sight.

The last stop on our excursion is the city of Corfu. We walk through the labyrinth of narrow streets that flow into picturesque

squares, brought to life by traditional craftsmen's shops that tell the history of the island.

What we will do

After disembarking, we take a tender boat to the port of Athinios or to the Old port, Santorini’s main trading centre nestled at

the foothills of a majestic cliff.

Here, we board a catamaran and set off for a pleasant trip along the islets dotting Santorini’s caldera.

We reach the thermal springs of Palea Kameni, where the waters reach a temperature of 35 degrees and contain a high level

of sulphur, which is known for its healing properties.

From the deck, we admire the colourful spectacle that appears before our eyes: the minerals modify the colour of the thermal

waters, which range from green to dark orange. Despite the shallow waters, the boat will go as near as possible so we can

take a few pictures.

We then have the opportunity to take a dip into the sulphur waters of the thermal springs and benefit from their healing

properties.

Back on the catamaran, we continue our cruise and enjoy amazing views - the island of Thirasia, with its rocky edges climbing

to a steep peak, and the bay of Ammoudi, surrounded by steep red rock cliffs.

We make one last stop in the village of Oia and, beneath the ruins of the old castle of Agios Nikolaos, we take advantage of

the blue sea one more time for one last refreshing dip, a snorkelling session and a snack.

a unique wine.

We will discover the island's authentic flavours in a typical restaurant, where we will sample local products, accompanied by a

nice glass of wine.

After lunch, we will visit the Church of Panagia Episkopi. Dating back to the 11th century, it is the oldest Byzantine church on

the island and has lived through pirate raids, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and a fire in 1915. The Virgin Mary is believed to

have protected its holy icons from the flames.

Our tour continues to the ancient port of Fira, a fishing village now famous for its black volcanic sand beach, the only one in

Another must is a visit to one of the most characteristic districts of the town: Little Venice, a name that it acquired because of

the striking resemblance of its urban layout to the famous lagoon town. We then proceed towards the famous windmills, that

have now become a symbol of the island, creating a splendid panorama full of charm.

Our visit ends in an old taverna, where we can savour some of the flavours of this unique island with a tasting prepared with

delicious, local specialities.

After the tasting, we have a chance to do some shopping.


INFORMATIONS

Description

In ancient times, Delo was considered the most sacred island in Greece as it was the birthplace of the god Apollo and the goddess

Artemis. Nowadays, the island is an open-air museum with a priceless, and surprising, archaeological heritage.

What we will see

Island of Delo

Archaeological site and museum

What we will do

We set sail in the direction of the heart of the Cyclades to visit what was considered in ancient times to be the most sacred

island in Greece: the island of Delo. According to mythology, this tiny island is where Apollo, the god of music, light, harmony

and beauty was born. Pilgrims from around the Aegean Sea would come to Delo to worship Apollo and offer him their prayers

and gifts. The Athenians passed a decree 2,500 years ago, proclaiming that it was forbidden to be born or to die on the island,

because birth and death were considered to be a terrible desecration of the land that had given birth to two important deities.

The island was also a major trading centre, especially during the Roman era, and today we can still admire archaeological

evidence of its glorious past. At the beginning of the 19th century, remains of the ancient town were discovered on the island,

including the famous marble lions of Naxos, three temples dedicated to Apollo and houses with splendid mosaic floors. Mount

We end our island tour with a visit to the island museum, with its fascinating, precious collections of marble statues, finely

decorated ceramics, objects of daily life and jewellery found in private homes of the period.


The excursion involves a long walk, therefore we recommend you wear comfortable shoes and a hat for protection from the

sun.

This excursion is not recommended for guests who suffer from seasickness or guests with mobility problems.

Our excursion ends back at the port. In the event that the berthing place in the port is distant from the town centre, any

Back on our 4x4, we can admire Mykonos from high up during our journey, as picture postcard scenery opens up before us.

With its typical white houses and famous windmills, rendered all the more magical with the colours of the sunset, the sight of

the town will take our breath away.

When we are in the vicinity of the town centre, we abandon our 4x4 and, following the suggestions of our tour guide or

otherwise, we are free to explore every corner of the town on our own. We can walk along the bustling, narrow, paved streets

of the centre, flanked by white houses with shutters painted in different colours and balconies decorated with flowers. We

roam the maze of streets and explore the typical shops and splendid little churches: true architectural masterpieces. Before

leaving the island, it is worth visiting the magical atmosphere of the district known as Little Venice, where the houses have

marvellous, long balconies, brightly coloured doors and windows, with their foundations resting in the water.

A shuttle service is always available to return to the port.

What we will do

We board a traditional wooden boat and set sail towards the heart of the Cyclades and the island of Delos, in ancient times

While sailing, we can sit comfortably and sip a drinkwhile enjoying a panorama of unrivalled beauty and waiting for the sun to

set into the blue waters of the Aegean Sea.

Travelling along the island of Delos, we can admire the magnificent ruins of this sacred place such as the theatre, old harbour,

old town and try to imagine how stunning it must have been during its golden age.

Surrounded by this dream-like scenery, we take advantage of some free time to take a dip into the crystal-clear waters of the

We then head back to Mykonos sailing through Little Venice, a distinctive district where the houses are built on the water’s

edge just like Venice.

Immersed in the city’s magical atmosphere while the setting sun colours Mykonos’ characteristic windmills red, we observe the

evening slowly giving way to night-time with its glistening lights.

splendid resort which attracts not only tourists, but also film stars, artists and the jet-set celebrities. Our tour guide will take us

into the heart of the town to discover the authentic spirit and atmosphere if the narrow alleyways, where the white houses

strike a sharp contrast against the bright colours of the bougainvilleas and geraniums. If you feel lost in this labyrinth of little

streets, there is a reason: the town was designed in this way to confound invaders and thwart pirate attacks.

Every corner of the town is worth photographing: the painted doors, the numerous chapels, the balconies bursting with flowers

and the white pavements, which make the town unique in Greece. The architecture is typical of the Cyclades as seen on all the

postcards of the Greek islands.

We must not miss a visit to Little Venice, a distinctive district in the town, where the houses are built on the water's edge. It is

said these buildings were used to quickly load and unload ships to avoid pirate attacks. Today, we can dine in one of the

numerous restaurants lining the seafront: a unique and emotional sight!

Our walk continues toward the promontory south-west of Little Venice to admire the famous windmills, a symbol of the island

of Mykonos, once a major trading centre between Venice and Asia. Dating back to the 16th century and situated near the old

port in a strategic position to exploit the wind, the windmills were used to mill wheat. From here we can catch some beautiful

glimpses of the panorama and we can stop to take some photos.

We proceed towards the area of the castle and admire the famous church of Paraportiani, one of the most famous

architectural buildings in Greece. It was begun in the late 15th century and was part of a group of five minor churches

completed in the mid 17th century. The first four churches were merged and the fifth church was built on top of them,

creating the roof with a central dome that we see today.

The last leg of our tour is Manto Square, where the statue of Manto Mavrogenous stands, a hero of the Greek War of

Independence. We do not have to bid farewell to the town just yet, as we still have a little time to explore its hidden corners

and do a bit of shopping or relax, sip a drink and enjoy the view from the terrace of one of the bars.

St. Mark's Square: St. Mark's Basilica, St. Mark's Campanile, Clock Tower

What we will do

We leave the port by boat and head for St. Mark's Square. Here, in the company of our local guide, we begin our walking tour

to discover some of Venice's magnificent artistic treasures.

Our first stop is at the Doge's Palace, a symbol of the Republic's government and a magnificent expression of Venetian Gothic

architecture. Inside we visit the Armoury with its collection of over 2000 arms of enormous historical interest.

Leaving the rich, prestigious palace, we cross the famous Bridge of Sighs that links the Doge's Palace to the dark, humid

prisoners' cells.

We continue towards the Basilica which has always been the city's main church, the place where the doges were sworn in and

the centre of Venice's religious and public life. We cannot fail to be enchanted by the magnificent contrast between Byzantine

art and Western architecture, the rich marble decorations and the precious mosaics that earned the Basilica the name of

"Golden Church".

Before bidding our guide goodbye we take a look at St. Mark's Campanile, nearly 100 metres in height, and the Clock Tower,

with the two Moors marking the passing of time.

After the guided tour we have time to admire St. Mark's Square, take unforgettable photos of the most famous pigeons in the

world or wander through the famous calli that surround us.

Our guide will be waiting for us at the established time to return to the boat.
