Mediterranean Odyssey

Lisbon to Rome

From Portugal to the treasures of Renaissance Italy, the wild Languedoc countryside of Carcassonne and the picturesque Cote d’Azur in France, this itinerary has been planned to explore the magnificent scenery and fascinating history of the remarkable Mediterranean Sea.

Your journey begins in the charming capital of Portugal, Lisbon, where gothic cathedrals, majestic monasteries and quaint museums are all part of the colourful cityscape. Enjoy some sherry-tasting in the Spanish port of Cadiz and explore Malaga, the birthplace of Picasso, or drive through the Andalusian countryside to the Moorish Alhambra Palace in Granada.

See the outstanding monuments of Barcelona and wander through the ancient covered alleyways of Monte Carlo’s old town. Cruise the Cinque Terre to the beautiful fishing village of Portofino in Italy, then be transported through the Tuscan hills to Renaissance Florence, one of the most historically fascinating cities in the world. Finally, discover the splendours of Imperial Rome during a two-night hotel stay in the Eternal City.
