Ravenna, a jewel of northern Italy, is a city steeped in history, art, and culture. Known as the "City of Mosaics," Ravenna boasts eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites, making it a paradise for history enthusiasts and art lovers. Once the capital of the Western Roman Empire and later a key center of Byzantine rule, Ravenna offers visitors the chance to explore stunning monuments that reveal its fascinating past. The city's most famous attractions are its breathtaking mosaics, which adorn the walls of its ancient churches and mausoleums. The Basilica of San Vitale is a must-see, with intricate mosaics that depict biblical scenes in vivid colors and shimmering gold. Nearby, the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia attracts visitors with its starry mosaic ceiling. Ravenna is not just about its ancient treasures. The city’s culinary traditions are deeply rooted in the Emilia-Romagna region, famous for fresh pasta, piadina flatbread, and hearty meat dishes. Ravenna is located near the Adriatic coast, offering easy access to serene beaches and the Po Delta, a UNESCO-designated biosphere reserve. This area is perfect for birdwatching, cycling, or simply relaxing and enjoying the landscapes. |

The Bay of Kotor, a beautiful fjord-like inlet along the Adriatic coast, is one of Montenegro’s most captivating destinations. Enclosed by mountains, the bay is dotted with historic towns, medieval fortifications, and centuries-old churches, making it a must-visit location for travelers looking to explore a unique coastal landscape. The town of Kotor, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the heart of the bay and is known for its well-preserved medieval old town. Surrounded by ancient stone walls, its winding alleys lead to charming squares, historic cathedrals, and cafes. Nearby, the town of Perast provides access to the iconic islets of Our Lady of the Rocks and St. George, both steeped in local legend and history. Adventurers can find plenty to do, from hiking up the fortress of San Giovanni for panoramic views of the bay to taking scenic boat trips that explore the coastline. The region’s calm waters are perfect for kayaking and sailing, while the surrounding mountains offer picturesque trails. The local food is a delightful mix of Mediterranean and Balkan flavors, with fresh seafood, olive oils, and locally produced wines. Traditional coastal dishes, such as black risotto and grilled fish, can be enjoyed at waterfront restaurants that offer stunning views of the bay. |

"At Sea" typically refers to the vast and diverse marine environments that span our planet, rather than a specific city or destination. However, exploring the concept of being "at sea" can lead to a variety of fascinating experiences and attractions related to maritime adventures and oceanic wonders. One of the most enticing ways to experience "at sea" is through a luxury cruise. Cruises offer a unique opportunity to explore various destinations while enjoying the comforts and amenities of a floating resort. Modern cruise ships provide a blend of relaxation and adventure with activities ranging from fine dining and Broadway-style shows to excursions exploring tropical islands or historical coastal cities. For those interested in marine life, exploring the world's oceans through scuba diving or snorkeling can be an unforgettable experience. Locations such as the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the coral reefs of Belize offer stunning underwater vistas and an opportunity to observe diverse marine species in their natural habitats. National Geographic provides insights into the best diving spots and conservation efforts that protect these underwater treasures. |
| Day 5 |
Ancient history comes alive in Athens, the capital of Greece. Gaze in wonder at the Acropolis and its iconic crown, the Parthenon. Take a deeper dive into the past and visit both the Acropolis Museum and the National Archaeological Museum, which house fascinating artifacts from this ancient city.
With influences Byzantine, Roman and Ottoman, Athens contains multitudes. The city's architecture and cuisine reflect these influences in a most elegant way. It's not all antiquity, though – Athens still exhibits a modern cool, with eye-catching street art, nightlife and music festivals beckoning new generations. A lively energy is afoot at the Agora-Athens Central Market, where locals shop, and visitors find amazing, reasonably priced meals. A stroll through the Plaka, Athens' oldest neighborhood, is also a must for shopping and eating at outdoor restaurants. Visit Athens between March and May, and from September to November, as the weather is comfortable and there are thinner crowds. You will also find that hotels and flights are a bit easier to reserve. Arrive Time: 7:00 AM – Depart Time: 7:00 PM

| Day 6 |
Reshaped by volcanic activity, the rugged yet enchanting Santorini beckons all seafaring souls in the Aegean Sea.
Visitors to this breathtaking and romantic Cyclades archipelago will gaze at the whitewashed cubiform houses sitting cliffside and hovering over the water. Santorini is technically an active volcano, and perhaps the only volcano on the planet with its crater situated in the sea. But don't worry too much; the last eruption was 3600 years ago. Instead, couples and tourists should explore, taste the local wine, and lounge in the sun on black sand beaches. As the sun sets dramatically, visitors will find a taverna or bar and toast their impeccable taste in travel destinations. Arrive Time: 7:00 AM – Depart Time: 7:00 PM
