ITALIAN ADVENTURE

Welcome to "The Eternal City", the wonderful Rome. You will make your own way to the city centre and check in at your hotel. Free time for the rest of the day.

Greca Tip: Come to Rome in the most comfortable shoes you have.  There are a lot of cobblestones and they are made of basalt, which can be quite unforgiving on your body.

We make the most of the day by exploring the city at our own pace, strolling through squares, historic streets, and iconic landmarks. We can wander through charming neighborhoods, visit museums, or simply enjoy local cuisine at an outdoor café.

Greca tip: Rome is best explored on foot, so comfortable shoes and a bottle of water are a must.

We start the day enjoying breakfast before leaving Rome and heading north. Before reaching our destination, we stop at the Michelangelo viewpoint, where we are amazed by one of the most stunning views of Florence, with its domes, towers, and bridges painting the horizon.

After a well-deserved break and time for lunch, we delve into the capital of Tuscany, the cradle of the Renaissance and home to great geniuses like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Botticelli.

It is a symbol of the glory and power of Venice that it was connected to the old prison of the Inquisition through the Bridge of Sighs, a name given because it was the path followed by those sentenced to death since, from its windows, they last saw time the Venetian Lagoon.

Greca Tip: Don't forget to enjoy a gondola ride in the afternoon. Keep in mind that they are very expensive, but they are worth it!
