Day 2

olbia, sardinia

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 19:00

Olbia, the main gateway to North Sardinia, is far more than just an airport town. Framed by turquoise waters and low, granite hills, it offers a relaxed coastal atmosphere with easy access to some of the island’s most beautiful beaches and the exclusive Costa Smeralda. In the compact historic center, café-lined squares, elegant boutiques, and old stone churches make it ideal for slow strolls and people-watching at any time of day. Start your exploration along Corso Umberto, the main pedestrian street, leading towards the waterfront and the small but charming old town. Don’t miss the Romanesque Basilica of San Simplicio, built between the 11th and 12th centuries from local granite, and the Church of San Paolo with its colorful tiled dome. The Archaeological Museum by the port offers an engaging look at Olbia’s past, including shipwrecks and relics from the Phoenician, Greek, and Roman eras that once shaped this strategic harbor. Olbia is also a perfect base for beach lovers. Within a short drive you’ll find a chain of stunning coves and long sandy stretches such as Pittulongu, Porto Istana, Cala Brandinchi, and Lu Impostu, all washed by crystal-clear, shallow waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling. From the nearby port of Palau or the marina in Olbia, you can arrange boat trips to the La Maddalena Archipelago, a national park famous for its wild, unspoiled islands and postcard-perfect bays. Food and wine are central to the Olbia experience. Traditional Sardinian dishes like porceddu (roast suckling pig), fresh seafood, and culurgiones (stuffed pasta) are widely available in trattorie and agriturismi in the countryside. Pair your meal with a chilled glass of Vermentino di Gallura, the local white wine that perfectly complements the sea breeze and coastal views. Whether you stay a night or a week, Olbia offers a blend of authentic Sardinian life, seaside relaxation, and easy connections to the rest of the island.

Day 2

GOLFO ARANCI

Arrival: 19:15 - Departure: 21:00

Golfo Aranci is a town (municipality) in the Province of Sassari in the Italian region of Sardinia, situated approximately 200 kilometers (120 miles) north of Cagliari and about 13 kilometers (8 miles) northeast of Olbia. The name of the town comes from an incorrect translation from the old Gallurese place name of the Golfu di li Rancio. Once known as Figari, the current town developed in the mid-18th century as a fishing port. In the early 19th century, a Royal Decree designated it as the main port for arrivals from the mainland, which contributed to its population growth.

Day 4

valencia, spain

Arrival: 09:00 - Departure: 20:00

Valencia cherishes its huertas, or orchards, filled with citrus fruit trees that thrive despite the dry climate. Here, visitors will discover water monuments, also known as fountains, and celebrations of greenery, or gardens. This provincial capital, the third largest city in Spain, also boasts a range of museums and ancient monuments and buildings, all with a unique Moorish and maritime touch. Valencia is the birthplace of both paella and orxata de chufas, providing the most genuine environment for tasting these delicacies. Rising from the Old Town is the Gothic and neoclassical Seu, or Metropolitan Cathedral. Its tower, the Micalet, provides a sweeping view of the city's historic center. The cathedral's interior is remarkable for its serene simplicity and a simple, yet beautiful, six-panel altarpiece. The Museu de la Seu, or the Cathedral Museum, holds among other lesser treasures, two large Goyas and one of Spain’s several purportedly authentic Holy Grails. Nearby is the Llotja de la Seda, the former silk exchange, with its impressive pillars. Whether you prefer the modern or the traditional, Valencia has it all. You can wander at night in the historic center and stroll in front of the illuminated cathedral or visit La Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, the City of Arts and Sciences, the city's cutting-edge side.

Day 7

The Darkest Point of the Ligurian Sea

Arrival: 23:00 - Departure: 23:59

Liguria is a narrow crescent of coastline in northwestern Italy, stretching from the French border to Tuscany, framed by steep hills and the sparkling Ligurian Sea. Despite its small size, the region is remarkably diverse: glamorous resorts, colorful fishing villages, medieval hill towns, and terraced vineyards all lie within a short train ride of each other. The capital, Genoa, is a gritty yet fascinating port city with a maze-like historic center, impressive palaces, and a strong maritime heritage that helped shape both Italian and European history. Along the eastern Riviera, the world‑famous Cinque Terre draws visitors with its pastel-colored villages clinging to cliffs above the sea. Hiking trails link Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore, offering unforgettable coastal views at every turn. Nearby, Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure provide a more refined, resort-style atmosphere, with elegant waterfront promenades, chic boutiques, and hidden coves that are perfect for swimming or sailing. Inland, quieter valleys shelter ancient stone hamlets, chestnut forests, and scenic routes for walkers and cyclists. The western Riviera, or Riviera di Ponente, is known for its long sandy beaches and Belle Époque villas. Towns like Sanremo, Alassio, and Finale Ligure offer a relaxed seaside vibe, ideal for families and sun-seekers, while the rocky stretches between them hide snorkeling spots and tranquil, crystal-clear bays. History enthusiasts can explore medieval villages such as Dolceacqua and Apricale, where narrow alleyways, stone bridges, and hilltop castles form a striking contrast to the livelier coastal towns. Food is a highlight of any visit to Liguria. This is the birthplace of basil pesto, traditionally pounded in a marble mortar and served with trofie or trenette pasta. Focaccia—plain or topped with onions, olives, or cheese—is an everyday staple, best eaten warm from the bakery. Fresh seafood dominates coastal menus, while inland trattorias serve hearty vegetable pies, chickpea farinata, and local wines such as Vermentino and Pigato. Whether you are hiking, swimming, or simply wandering its colorful streets, Liguria offers an authentic slice of Italian coastal life with a distinctive character all its own.
