POSTPONED to SUMMER 2021: ITALY & GREECE!

August 2 - August 12
This amazing tour will include the BEST of both Italy and Greece! We will fly into Milan, in northern Italy, and work our way south, through the Renaissance splendor of Florence, and the eternal city known as Rome. From there we will head to Napoli and the Sorrento region, to see the blue grotto and Capri, and the tragic ruins of Pompeii. Then we will drive across the Italian peninsula to Brindisi, on the Adriatic Sea, to board an overnight ferry to Patras, Greece. A short drive from there will take us to the ancient oracle at Delphi. Then we will spend several days in Classical Athens visiting all the major sites. On our last day together, we will enjoy a one-day cruise to see three Greek Islands: Hydra, Poros, and Aegina. Enjoy our final evening in Athens, near the beach, in the Glyfada area.​
