Study the Parthenon in Athens

Ascend the flattened hill in Athens to reach the Acropolis, an array of ruins that were once the fortified hub of the city. Marvel at the architecture, with the Parthenon temple a particular highlight with its distinctive marble columns and carvings. Due to its iconic status as a symbol for the birthplace of democracy, you’ll notice just how much Western architecture has borrowed from the Ancient Greeks in our own important structures as you look out upon the city below. 

Explore the Colosseum in Rome

Hop off the Metro in Rome to explore the ancient Colosseum, originally built to erase Nero’s mark on the city and featuring over 100,000 blocks of travertine. As you approach, appreciate just how impressive the structure is, with 80 arches and a tiered design that will leave you in awe over the different architectural styles reflected in its construction. Once inside, look out over the amphitheater and imagine the raucous gladiator games that were held here. After you’ve toured the mammoth structure, walk down the boulevard to appreciate more of the nearby ruins, along with a scoop or two of gelato from one of the street stalls.

Go on a culinary journey in Barcelona

As you appreciate the wonderful and varied architecture overhead in Barcelona, don’t forget to sample the culinary delights on offer. Take a detour from the La Rambla boulevard and wind your way through the La Boqueria, a vast market of delicacies and treats where the local chefs love to shop. Look out for the curvy, multicolor roof of Mercat de Santa Caterina, too, which holds another impressive array of stalls, and let the distinctive Spanish aromas guide you through this maze of specialty ingredients. 

Sunbathe in Saint-Tropez

Stroll through the streets of Saint-Tropez in southern France to admire the charming buildings, where terracotta roofs and the vibrant blue of the Mediterranean Sea evoke a sense of calm and warmth. Take a short walk in either direction along the coast from the picturesque port of Saint-Tropez and find a beautiful beach where you can relax with an ice-cold glass of your favorite beverage or recline and bask in the glorious sunshine as you listen to the ocean lap against the sand. 

Admire the scenery in Valletta

As you approach the rugged shoreline of Malta’s capital city, Valletta, admire the distinctive dome of the Basilica of Our Lady of Mt Carmel. Disembark and take a motor coach through the old city that once focused on fortification and protection. From here, you can drive to the highest point on the opposite side of the island, the Dingli Cliffs, granting you stunning views of the sheer coastal cliffs and the mesmerizing sunset that dips into the ocean.
