Itinerary

Day Rome, Italy
Depart 05:00 PM
"Rome is both a modern bustling city and an ancient open-air museum. You can walk in the footsteps of emperors, have coffee in Renaissance piazzas and see contemporary art all in one afternoon. Your sightseeing time in Rome begins at the nearby port of Civitavecchia, a seaside town with roots that stretch back to the Etruscan era. Take note of the Forte Michelangelo (both Bramante and Michelangelo had a hand in its design), and the lungomare, a lively stretch along the sea with beach clubs, bars and restaurants. Once in the Eternal City you can fill your day with museums, churches, archaeological sites, traditional trattorias, artisan shops and, of course, gelato. The Colosseum and the Vatican Museums are Rome's superstar attractions, but there are plenty of quieter gems to explore. For food lovers there are the markets in Campo de' Fiori or the slightly farther flung Testaccio. The hip neighborhood of Monti, next to the Colosseum, has a vibrant piazza scene and boutique shopping, while the Villa Borghese offers a green oasis with a view towards Saint Peter’s Basilica and the masterpiece-filled Galleria Borghese. Although Rome might not have been built in one day, you'll certainly be able to see the highlights and top things to do in Rome in 24 hours. "
Rome, Italy
Day Bastia, Corsica, France
Arrives 08:00 AM Departs 05:00 PM
Filled with heart, soul and character, the bustling old port of Bastia is a good surprise. Sure, it might not measure up to the sexy style of Ajaccio or the architectural appeal of Bonifacio, but it has an irresistible magnetism. Bastia is an authentic snapshot of modern-day Corsica, a lived-in city that’s resisted the urge to polish up its image just to please the tourists.

Day Ajaccio, Corsica, France
Arrives 11:00 AM Departs 10:00 PM
"Most famous as the birthplace of a diminutive, strong-willed local who went on to become known simply as Napoleon, the port of Ajaccio is Corsica’s small, walkable capital. The roots of this city on the island’s western coast are said to go back to another strong man, the Greek hero Ajax. Only 200 miles from its parent France, you might as well be in another country on Corsica, where everything from the food to the language is unique. Anchored by a magnificent citadel and a fine Baroque cathedral, Ajaccio is filled with pastel buildings whose wooden shutters keep out the Mediterranean sun, while its streets, plazas and statues are all marked by Napoleon’s aura."
Ajaccio, Corsica, France
Day Bonifacio, Corsica, France
Arrives 09:00 AM Departs 10:00 PM
"The narrow Strait of Bonifacio connects the Tyrrhenian Sea with the Sea of Sardinia in the western Mediterranean. Over the centuries, the strait's swift currents and treacherous shoals have made it a ship graveyard. But this region has great natural beauty, with dozens of islets spread over marine reserves that are popular with divers. No wonder Bonifacio has earned membership in the European Straits Initiative, which works to protect biodiversity. The strait slices between two rugged islands that are the second and fourth largest in the Mediterranean: Italy's Sardinia and France's Corsica. Both are wholly unlike anywhere else in their respective nations. Sardinia, to the south, offers a very different Italian experience from that found on the mainland. It has its own dialects and foods, and some of the world's chicest yacht-filled marinas on its Costa Smeralda. Corsica, just 11 kilometers (seven miles) to the north, is culturally closer to Italy than France. Known as the birthplace of Napoleon, the island has a mountainous interior that attracts adventure travelers; its coast, like Sardinia's, appeals to the yachting set. "

Day Alghero, Italy
Arrive 12:00 PM
"The city of Alghero on Sardinia was founded in 1102 by the powerful Doria family from Genoa on the Italian mainland—though long before they arrived, Phoenicians, Romans and Arabs all had settlements in the area. The civilization that had the most influence on the island's fifth-largest city was, however, not Italy but Spain; specifically Catalonia. One of Alghero’s nicknames is Little Barcelona, and the local dialect has much in common with the Catalan spoken on Las Ramblas. The Catalans conquered Alghero in 1353 and colonized it, building the city walls that can still be seen today. Thanks to their economic and military power, the Algheresi—both Italians and colonists—enjoyed a golden age of prosperity lasting well into the 16th century."

Day Golfo Aranci (Costa Smeralda), Sardinia, Italy
Arrives 08:00 AM Departs 04:00 PM
The Sardinian coastline is serrated by deep-cut coves of sparkling sea, surrounded by rocky prominences and edged in lovely strands of beach. The Aga Khan fell in love with the place, and dubbed it the Costa Smeralda, creating a magnet for the global glitterati. At Golfo Aranci, shining arcs of silvery sand are linked into a larger curve, encircled by a muscular peninsula that looms protectively between the town and the sea. It looks expensive, and it is.
