Because you just can't see too many Greek Islands, we're spending the day sailing to the Saronic Gulf to visit three: Hydra, Poros and Aegina.
Viaggio European Tours
France & Italy
There's so much to do on the French Riviera, we were happy to create a seven-night program based in the lovely, lively, waterfront city of Nice, France. Our central 4* hotel (with rooftop pool and jacuzzis), is a perfect base for us to explore the French Cote D'Azur (blue coast), head over the border into Italy, and have a free day in the middle to explore as you choose.
Nice's Colorful Old Town
Our Tour from Nice
Nice, a fantastic city of beaches, museums, public art, fountains, cafes, great shopping and restaurants, the famous Cours Saleya flower market, the colorful winding cobblestone streets of its Old Town, and a waterfront promenade that goes on for miles. Did I mention the excellent gelato?
With Viaggio Tours, you'll be in the same wonderful hotel all week. So unpack once, make yourself at home, and we'll travel from there to all the spots listed below.
French Riviera Pass
Your two day pass includes entrance to dozens of attractions and museums, including both Nice's Marc Chagall and Henri Matisse Museums, as well as the open-top Hop On Hop Off bus.
Antibes, France
A day trip by coastal train to beautiful Antibes to explore the old town and coast, check out its covered Marche Provencal, walk its ramparts, and optional visit the Picasso Museum.
Menton, France
This lovely citrus-colored city, with a more chill vibe that its more famous neighbors, comes as a wonderful surprise to our guests. We love its shady squares, beautiful town for strolling and shopping and a wonderful old town. Oh, and limoncello tasting. We do. You must.
Villefranche sur Mer
We'll explore this charming French fishing village lined with pastel colored buildings, and enjoy wandering its lovely narrow streets filled with restaurants and cafes and one of the best beaches around.
Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild
We'll spend an afternoon at this magnificent villa with nine distinct gardens and a musical fountain. A truly magical spot with spectacular panoramic views of Cap Ferrat and the coast.
Ventimiglia, Italy
Every Friday, Ventimiglia boasts a huge market of meats & cheeses, produce, leather, clothing, and tons more. Even the French cross the border with their shopping carts for this event!
