Rome, Italy

Your adventure begins in the Eternal City. Explore the grandeur of the Colosseum to the artistry of the Vatican, Rome is a living museum of history and culture. Stroll through piazzas adorned with fountains, sip espresso in tucked-away cafés, and lose yourself in streets lined with centuries-old architecture.

Palermo, Sicily

Palermo is a feast for the senses. This vibrant Sicilian city blends Italian elegance with Arabic and Norman influences, visible in its ornate palaces and mosaic-filled chapels. Explore lively markets overflowing with fresh produce and fragrant spices, or take in the beauty of the seaside promenade.

Ibiza, Spain

Known for its glamorous nightlife, Ibiza offers so much more. Whitewashed villages, pine-clad hills, and turquoise bays create a perfect setting for relaxation. Wander through the cobbled streets of Dalt Vila, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, or enjoy a lazy afternoon at a chic beach club before watching one of the island’s legendary sunsets.

Valencia, Spain

Valencia is a city of contrasts, where futuristic architecture meets old-world charm. Marvel at the striking City of Arts and Sciences, stroll through the historic quarter, and indulge in authentic paella in its birthplace. With golden beaches and leafy parks, Valencia is a destination that offers something for everyone.

Marseille, France

Marseille, France’s oldest city, brims with Mediterranean character. The bustling Old Port is perfect for people-watching over a café au lait, while the colourful Le Panier district invites exploration with its narrow lanes and artisan shops. For nature lovers, the dramatic Calanques National Park is just a short boat ride away.

Genoa, Italy

A historic maritime powerhouse, Genoa is a treasure trove of culture and cuisine. Wander the maze-like alleys of its UNESCO-listed old town, admire grand palaces, and sample local delicacies like pesto alla Genovese. From charming piazzas to sweeping sea views, this city offers a true taste of Liguria.
