Italy or Greece? We wouldn’t want to choose either. And with this tour, you don’t have to. These two distinct sides of the Mediterranean each offer their own spin on sun-ripened foods, melt-into-the-sea views, and unique way of life. Find inspiration in Italy as you visit the Renaissance monuments of Venice, Florence, and Rome. Then, head to Greece to uncover mythical antiquity in Delphi, Olympia, and Athens. Extend your trip to Santorini and revel in the sun-splashed island’s iconic whitewashed buildings and pristine beaches.
