HIDDEN VENICE ON FOOT
Explore Venice by foot and uncover treasures that are invisible to those who
explore only by boat. 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 breathtaking
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.
