Day 2

olbia, sardinia

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 19:00

Olbia, the main gateway to North Sardinia, is far more than just an airport town. Framed by turquoise waters and low, granite hills, it offers a relaxed coastal atmosphere with easy access to some of the island’s most beautiful beaches and the exclusive Costa Smeralda. In the compact historic center, café-lined squares, elegant boutiques, and old stone churches make it ideal for slow strolls and people-watching at any time of day. Start your exploration along Corso Umberto, the main pedestrian street, leading towards the waterfront and the small but charming old town. Don’t miss the Romanesque Basilica of San Simplicio, built between the 11th and 12th centuries from local granite, and the Church of San Paolo with its colorful tiled dome. The Archaeological Museum by the port offers an engaging look at Olbia’s past, including shipwrecks and relics from the Phoenician, Greek, and Roman eras that once shaped this strategic harbor. Olbia is also a perfect base for beach lovers. Within a short drive you’ll find a chain of stunning coves and long sandy stretches such as Pittulongu, Porto Istana, Cala Brandinchi, and Lu Impostu, all washed by crystal-clear, shallow waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling. From the nearby port of Palau or the marina in Olbia, you can arrange boat trips to the La Maddalena Archipelago, a national park famous for its wild, unspoiled islands and postcard-perfect bays. Food and wine are central to the Olbia experience. Traditional Sardinian dishes like porceddu (roast suckling pig), fresh seafood, and culurgiones (stuffed pasta) are widely available in trattorie and agriturismi in the countryside. Pair your meal with a chilled glass of Vermentino di Gallura, the local white wine that perfectly complements the sea breeze and coastal views. Whether you stay a night or a week, Olbia offers a blend of authentic Sardinian life, seaside relaxation, and easy connections to the rest of the island.

Day 2

GOLFO ARANCI

Arrival: 19:15 - Departure: 21:00

Golfo Aranci is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Sassari in the Italian region Sardinia, located about 200 kilometres (120 mi) north of Cagliari and about 13 kilometres (8 mi) northeast of Olbia. The name of the comune derives from a wrong translation from the old Gallurese toponym of the Golfu di li Rancio. Once known as Figari, the current town grew up in the mid-18th century as a fishing port. In the early 19th century a Royal Decree made it the main port for the arrivals from the mainland, contributing to its population growth.

Day 4

valencia, spain

Arrival: 09:00 - Departure: 20:00

Valencia values its huertas, or orchards, of citrus fruit trees, which thrive despite the dry conditions. Here visitors will discover monuments to water, or fountains, and celebrations of vegetation, or gardens. This provincial capital, the third largest city in Spain, also boasts a range of museums and ancient monuments and buildings, all with a distinctly Moorish and nautical feel. Valencia is the birthplace of both paella and orxata de chufas, and it provides the most genuine setting for tasting them. From the Old Town rises the Gothic and neoclassical Seu, Metropolitan Cathedral. Its tower, the Micalet, offers a sweeping view of the historic city centre. The interior of the cathedral is notable for its cool simplicity and simple, yet beautiful, six-panel altarpiece. The Museu de la Seu, the Cathedral Museum, holds among other lesser treasures, two large Goyas and one of Spain’s several supposedly authentic Holy Grails. Nearby is the Llotja de la Seda, the former silk exchange, with its handsome pillars. Whether you prefer the modern or the old, Valencia has everything to offer. You can lose yourself at night in the historic centre and walk in front of the illuminated cathedral or visit La Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, the City of Arts and Sciences, the city's avant-garde side.

Day 7

provence(marseille), france

Arrival: 12:00 - Departure: 20:00

Marseille is the second largest city in France, the biggest Mediterranean port and the economic hub of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Marseille is set in a beautiful location, nestled between rugged limestone hills and a sweeping bay, and is rich with history, which wasn’t always pleasant. Marseille is a popular holiday destination, as it has 300 days of sunshine a year. Today Marseille still retains traces of its tumultuous past, this ancient city is today very active and attractive. It has a powerful charm which encourages visitors, to wander through its old districts around le Vieux Port, in the gardens with the ancient ruins or the gardens of Longchamp Palace and, of course, on the esplanade of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde Cathedral, which overlooks the entire city Marseille is atmospheric and charming and a real must.

Day 7

The Darkest Point of the Ligurian Sea

Arrival: 23:00 - Departure: 23:59

Liguria is a long, narrow stretch of coastline in north‑west Italy, running from the French border to Tuscany, backed by steep hills and facing the sparkling Ligurian Sea. For such a small region it packs in a lot: glitzy resorts, colourful fishing villages, medieval hill towns and terraced vineyards are all within easy reach of each other by train. The capital, Genoa, is a gritty but fascinating port city with a maze‑like old town, grand palazzi and a powerful maritime heritage that has helped shape both Italian and European history. On the eastern Riviera, the world‑famous Cinque Terre lures visitors with pastel‑coloured villages clinging to cliffs above the sea. Walking trails link Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore, serving up unforgettable coastal views at every bend. Close by, Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure offer a more polished, resort‑style feel, with elegant seafront promenades, chic shops and tucked‑away coves that are perfect for a swim or a sail. Inland, quieter valleys hide ancient stone hamlets, chestnut woods and scenic routes for walkers and cyclists. The western Riviera, or Riviera di Ponente, is known for its long sandy beaches and Belle Époque villas. Towns such as Sanremo, Alassio and Finale Ligure have a relaxed seaside atmosphere that suits families and sun‑seekers, while the rocky stretches between them conceal snorkelling spots and peaceful, crystal‑clear bays. History buffs can head for medieval villages like Dolceacqua and Apricale, where tight alleys, stone bridges and hilltop castles provide a striking contrast to the livelier coast. Food is one of the real joys of a trip to Liguria. The region is the home of basil pesto, traditionally bashed in a marble mortar and served with trofie or trenette pasta. Focaccia – plain, or topped with onions, olives or cheese – is an everyday staple, best eaten warm from the bakery. Along the coast, fresh fish and seafood dominate, while inland trattorias serve hearty vegetable pies, chickpea farinata and local wines such as Vermentino and Pigato. Whether you’re out hiking, swimming, or simply strolling through its colourful lanes, Liguria gives you an authentic slice of Italian coastal life with a character all of its own.

Day 8

genoa, italy

Arrival: 09:00

Genova is a city of contrasts: it's a city of art as well as an industrial city. It has glass skyscrapers and medieval towers, business centres and unspoiled historic sites. Genoa is one of Italy’s most important ports that now accommodates Europe’s largest aquarium and the largest maritime history museum in the Mediterranean. Strolling down its narrow, twisting lanes, known as caruggi, visitors will discover architectural gems, some excellent museums and art galleries. Porta Soprana, the best known gate in the ancient Genoa city walls, gives way to the Piazza de Ferrari, with its Palace of the Doges and the Opera House. Along the Strade Nuove, a stunning avenue listed as a World Heritage Site, is where we find the Palazzi dei Rolli, a roster of aristocratic homes that are a reminder of the city’s imperial past. Genoa is an elusive and secretive city, it will take you to great bars, share its cuisine and give you a glimpse of culture, but it’ll have to get to know you first.
