Day 2

dubrovnik, croatia

Arrival: 10:00 - Departure: 23:59

George Bernard Shaw dubh Dubrovnik "an péarla de Adriatic, paradís ar an domhan", agus, go deimhin, d'fhéadfadh sé a bheith ar cheann de na cathracha is áille a fheicfidh tú riamh. Tógadh agus cónaíodh go príomha ag Veinéiseacha i Dubrovnik, agus tá draíocht uasal agus aontacht ailtireachta suntasach aige a tharraingíonn na mílte cuairteoirí gach samhradh. Bunaithe sa 7ú haois, sheas Dubrovnik i measc foraoise mór de chrainn dara, as a raibh a ainm aige. Tóg siúlóid ar bharr ballaí an tseanchathr le radhairc ar an seanbhaile agus an cósta máguaird. Díreach roimh dul amach as an seanbhaile trí gheata an iarthair, cas ar dheis chun cuairt a thabhairt ar Mhainistir na bhFrancachán agus na cloistreacha síochánta. Tá an ceann is sine de chógaisí na hEorpa taobh istigh den doras isteach, a bunaithe i 1371. I gcoirnéal thuaidh na seanbhail tá Cloister agus Músaem na nDomhnachánach, le poliptíoch le Titian. Tá Ard-Eaglais iontach de Ghlacadh na Maighdine Mhuire i lár Poljana Marin Držić agus is féidir a stóras a fhiosrú; féach ar an obair le Raphael. Tá uisceanna te, gile ag Dubrovnik; ná bí ag admháil é ó chian agus tóg tumadh ann. Is féidir leis na daoine cróga tumadh agus gréineadh ar na carraigeacha nó snámh timpeall ar bhallaí na cathrach agus daoine eile ag stánadh ón uachtar. Lonraíonn dúnfhallaí ildaite Dubrovnik i solas na maidine luí, ach tráthnóna luath, cuireann uisceanna gorma soiléir na farraige tú i gcuimhne ar shiúl ón gcathair agus a torann turasóireachta. Má tá tú in ann an pléascadh a sheasamh, d'fhéadfadh tú freisin píosa neamh a fháil.

Day 5

salerno, italy

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 18:00

Salerno, a coastal city in the Campania region of southern Italy, is often overshadowed by its neighbours Amalfi and Positano – and that’s exactly where its charm lies. Less crowded and more authentic, it offers a mix of medieval history, lively local life, and sweeping views over the Tyrrhenian Sea. The historic centre is a maze of narrow lanes, pastel façades, and small artisan workshops, where everyday life feels more genuinely Italian than overtly touristy. At the heart of the city stands the magnificent Salerno Cathedral, dedicated to Saint Matthew. Its Romanesque façade, Arab‑Norman bell tower, and peaceful cloister make it a highlight for architecture enthusiasts, while the crypt – richly decorated with Baroque frescoes and marble – is one of the most impressive in southern Italy. Close by, Arechi Castle rises above the city; a short drive or bus ride up the hill rewards you with panoramic views of the coastline and a clearer sense of Salerno’s strategic role over the centuries. Salerno is also a gateway to some of Italy’s most iconic destinations. Ferries and buses link the city to the Amalfi Coast, with Amalfi, Positano, and Ravello all easy to reach on day trips. To the south, the remarkably well‑preserved Greek temples of Paestum and the quieter beaches of the Cilento Coast invite further exploration. After a day of sightseeing, the city’s modern seafront promenade, the Lungomare Trieste, is ideal for an evening passeggiata, ice cream in hand, as locals and visitors stroll beneath palm trees in the sea breeze. Food in Salerno showcases the best of Campanian cooking. Expect fresh seafood, simple pasta dishes such as scialatielli ai frutti di mare, and of course pizza baked in wood‑fired ovens. The nearby town of Vietri sul Mare, connected by train and bus, is famous for its colourful ceramics, making it a great half‑day trip for a bit of shopping and sea views. Whether you use Salerno as a base for exploring the region or stay put for a few days to soak up its atmosphere, the city offers a relaxed, authentic introduction to the south of Italy.

Day 8

nice (villefranche), france

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 16:30

Nice weathers its storms of tourism each summer with all the usual trappings of a Riviera town: Casual wealth, a generous beach, museums, flower-lined avenues but lacks the pretentious aloofness of its neighbours. Moreover, Nice is fortunate to have excellent public transport within the city and to all points on the Côte d’Azur, making it a great base for exploring the Riviera. Nice’s long, narrow beach and sunbathing guests are the city’s main attractions for most visitors. However, Nice’s vieille ville, the old town, is well worth a visit. The old quarter is a unique mix of glitz and a Mediterranean medieval quarter of tiny streets and outdoor markets. For a stunning Riviera view, climb up to the top of the castle. The city has several exceptional museums, such as the Musée Matisse, dedicated to the work of French painter Henri Matisse, or the Musée National Marc Chagall, dedicated to the work of painter Marc Chagall. The majestic Promenade des Anglais sweeps along the coast. This pedestrian area is teeming with boutiques, bustling restaurants and all sorts of tourists. The nightlife in Nice is vibrant, the maze of tiny streets in the vieille ville hides restaurants and bars, and contributes to the city’s Mediterranean charm.

Palma de Mallorca, the vibrant capital of Spain’s Balearic Islands, is a city where beach life, history, and Mediterranean charm blend effortlessly. Stroll along the palm-lined seafront promenade, Passeig Marítim, and you’ll see luxury yachts bobbing in the harbor, terraced cafés buzzing with locals and visitors, and the golden silhouette of the city’s Gothic cathedral dominating the skyline. With over 300 days of sunshine a year, Palma is an ideal base for exploring the island or simply soaking up the relaxed coastal atmosphere. At the heart of the city stands La Seu, the magnificent cathedral that has watched over Palma’s bay for centuries. Its soaring buttresses and intricate façade are impressive from a distance, but step inside to admire the colorful stained glass, including one of the largest rose windows in the world, and design elements reimagined by Antoni Gaudí. Just a short walk away, the Royal Palace of La Almudaina and the labyrinth of narrow streets in the old town reveal Palma’s layered past—from Moorish rule to medieval Christian reconquest. Palma is also a city for leisurely discovery. Get lost in the historic quarter among honey-colored stone buildings, hidden courtyards, and boutiques tucked into centuries-old houses. Pause in a traditional café for an ensaïmada, the island’s famous spiral pastry, or sample fresh seafood and tapas at the lively Mercat de l’Olivar. As evening falls, the city’s terraces fill with people enjoying a glass of local wine or a gin and tonic while the sun sets over the bay. Beyond the urban core, Palma offers easy access to some of Mallorca’s most beautiful beaches and scenic routes. A short drive or bus ride brings you to sandy coves with turquoise waters, while inland roads lead to charming villages such as Valldemossa and Deià in the Tramuntana mountains.
