HIDDEN VENICE ON FOOT
Explore Venice by foot and uncover treasures that are hidden
to those who explore only the canals. Follow the narrow streets
and passageways of Venice which many never get to see. Pass
through the impressive Porta Magna, the imposing entrance to
the Venetian Arsenal. Admire the lovely campanile of the San
Giorgio dei Greci church, built in 1548. Cross the famed Rialto
Bridge, the oldest in the city, to the thriving market, a Venetian
commercial hub for centuries.
THE MANY FLAVOURS
OF SANTORINI
Admire the inspiring wonders
of a volcanic island and a
remarkably preserved ancient
city. Visit villages perched
on a caldera's rim and toast
it all at a winery. At Akrotiri,
uncover a city frozen in ash,
astonishing archaeologists
with its multilevel houses
and richly coloured frescoes.
Sample Santorini's wines at
the Gavales Winery, where the
owner invites you to visit the
wine-making cave. For lunch
enjoy Greek Tapas, also known
as sumptuous mezedes. From
the ridge of red rock in Oia,
take in stunning island and
sea views before exploring
the narrow warrens and
charming shops, as well as the
cobblestone squares of Thira.
