A FABULOSE 2 week, non-ski, trip to
Italy is planned with at least 3 nights in
each location. Delta connections are
from Pensacola to Venice, returning
from Rome. A private luxury motor
coach with an English Speaking guide
will take us to each of our locations.
Venice: All arrive via water taxi on the
Grand Canal. No cars are allowed in
Venice. The main square is Piazza San
Marco. St. Mark’s Basilica dominates the
“Heart of Venice”. Just outside the Basilica
is the Bell Tower – “Campanile”. Around
the corner is Palazzo Ducale or Doge’s
Palace. This palace was a residence of
Doge and also the Parliament House. The
enclosed marble “Bridge of Sighs” arches
over a canal to the New Prison. Included
is a day trip to 2 main islands: Murano –
glass blowing
Burano – lace making.
Shopping is part of the fun of exploring the
city. There is a succession of narrow and
crowded streets winding from Piazza San
Marco to the Rialto Bridge. Look for
Venetian glass, prints, paper products,
leather items and lace.
Florence: This is where the Renaissance
began and the prime destination for art
lovers. Points of interest: The Duomo,
officially Santa Maria Del Flore, was
started around 1296 and completed in the
mid-1800”s.
The Cathedral’s crowning
masterpiece is Brunnellischi’s Red Brick
Cupola. Climb the 463 steps to the top to
view Florence. Other points of interest:
Baptistery of San Giovanni (St. John),
Galleria Dell’ Accademia (collection of
Michalenglo’s and others works), Ponte
Vecchio (goldsmith & jewelers’ shops),
Uffizi Gallery (Italy’s greatest collection of
Renaissance paintings), Basilica of Santa
Groce (burial location of Michalengo,
Machivelli and Galileo). We will have an
excursion to Pisa with entrance to the
tower included.
Rome: There is so much to see and do in
Rome. We will have a 4-hour city tour
then you can pick and choose the sites you
want to experience.
Naples:
A vibrant, noisy city with
extremely friendly people and great
Neapolitan food and WINE! Shop the
designer outlets and local stores for leather
goods, coral jewelry, cameos, nativity
figurines, dolls and mask, to name a few.
Pompell: In AD79, Versuvius erupted and
engulfed the city in a thick layer of pumic
and volcanic ash. Not until about 1750
was it rediscovered and excavations
started. Now, you can wander the streets
and see what life was like back then.
Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast: The Amalfi
Drive from Sorrento to Salerno is the most
romantic drive in Italy. Sorrento is a
beautiful town, centrally located for daily
excursions. You can take a hydrofoil from
Sorrento to Capri. (not included in trip
price)
