Villefranche for Monte Carlo, Nice, Cannes The beautiful bay of Villefrance is right at the heart of the French riviera and within easy striking distance of Monte Carlo, Nice and Cannes. Away from the glamour of the coast you can visit Grasse and it's perfumeries of the Medieval charm of St. Paul-de-Venice. Monte Carlo's beautiful riviera is a fairy tale place, home to playboys, princes and high-rollers. Wander through the covered passageways of the old quarter or have a drink in the famous Hotel de Paris. Alternatively take a trip to the star-studded sights of Cannes or the splendour of Nice. Savona Portofino The sun drenched quays of Portofino are hard to reach by road, making this Italan port seem like a hidden treasure. Browse the shops or bask in a pavement café. Naples Several interesting tours are available in the city itself and to the fascinating places just outside; Pompeii, the preserved Roman city and breath-taking Sorrento. Civitevechia (Rome) The gateway to the ancient city of Rome. See the Fourm, the Pantheon, St. Peter's Basilica, the Sistine Chapel. The city is home to a lifetime of historical, architectural and spiritual sites. Livorno for Pisa & Florence Called by many "the most beautiful city in Italy", Florence was the birthplace of the Renaissance and the two outstanding museums house many masterpieces from the period, including Michelangelo's "David". Pisa is home to the world famous leaning tower, built in the 12th Century.
