In this enchanting city the past and present intersect in perfect harmony. Casually intermingled among ancient ruins and majestic cathedrals are the trappings of a modern metropolis: Skyscrapers,cafes, boutiques selling designer footwear. But of course what you seek first in the heart of Rome is its breathtaking history.  A good place to begin is the Vatican, with its Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. Works by Bernini, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, and Raphael are just a few of those on display, any one of which is worth hours of contemplation. Then the ancient ruins-Colosseum, Forum, Circus Maximus. And of course the Trevi Fountain for the obligatory coins promising your return to the Eternal City.

The first sight admired from the sea is Otranto, one of Puglia’s most popular destinations, home to about 5,600 inhabitants and shaped over the centuries by Greek-Messapic, Roman, Byzantine, and Aragonese influences, developing around its imposing castle and Norman cathedral; an important archbishop’s seat and vibrant tourist center, it gave its name to the Canale d’Otranto and Terra d’Otranto and, thanks to its historical significance, was recognized as a UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site in 2010 and is a proud member of “I Borghi più Belli d’Italia.” Just outside Otranto lies the first stop, La Staffa, a quiet, unspoiled beach set among rocks near a deep inlet known as Il Canalone, followed by the Canale San Pietro and Grotta Monaca, named after the monk seals that once frequented these waters, whose inviting colors encourage a refreshing swim. The tour continues to Remito, a sheltered cove with sheer cliffs showcasing the erosive power of the sea, and then to the bay of Mulino d’Acqua, named after the ancient water mill once used to generate energy from the sea, where sandy beaches lie between a series of historic caves and guests can swim in warm waters before exploring further. Heading north, the boat reaches Baia Imperia, with its distinctive circular rock formations rising from the sea, and Baia Morrone, famous for its shallow sandy bottom and striking fluorescent hues reminiscent of the Caribbean, also known for natural spring waterfalls and special clay rocks traditionally used for skin mud massages, both accessible only by sea. The journey continues to the area of Santo Stefano, where the ruins of the historic Torre Santo Stefano watchtower can be seen, before reaching the Baia dei Turchi, named after the Turkish troops who landed here in 1480 and today renowned for its Mediterranean vegetation, fine sandy beaches, and pristine turquoise and emerald-green waters. The final stop of the tour is the beach of Alimini, one of Salento’s most popular destinations, located near two lakes — one freshwater and one saltwater connected to the sea by a channel — and celebrated for its white sands, lush surroundings, and warm waters; before returning to Otranto, guests can also observe Il Relitto, the remains of the merchant ship Dimitrios that ran aground here in 1978, and after the swimming stops, an aperitif is served on board during the relaxing return to the port.

Baroque Lecce

Lecce, a city of extraordinary historical and architectural treasures, proudly calls itself “the Florence of South Italy” and feels like an open-air museum filled with churches and noble palaces, made even more elegant by the rich decorations carved from local Leccese stone, renowned for its warm, sun-kissed, honey-like color. Located in the heart of the Salento region, the heel of Italy’s boot, Lecce was founded by the Messapii in the 5th century BC and grew in importance after the Roman conquest in the 3rd century BC; at Piazza Sant’Oronzo you can admire the Roman amphitheatre built in the 2nd century AD, once capable of holding up to 20,000 spectators, as well as the Roman column marking the end of the Appian Way. Walking through the historic center with your guide, you will discover the distinctive “Leccese Baroque” style that flourished between the 16th and 18th centuries, when the city experienced a period of great splendor and was embellished with magnificent Rococo and Baroque monuments, made possible by the fine-grained limestone that allowed intricate decorative details. The tour includes a visit to the splendid Basilica of Santa Croce, a true triumph of Baroque art, and nearby the impressive façade of the Governor’s Palace, formerly the monastery of the Celestine monks, as well as Piazza Duomo, considered one of the most beautiful and impressive squares in southern Italy. After the guided walk, you will enjoy free time to shop in the elegant boutiques of Lecce’s old town or simply relax with a traditional “Leccese coffee” accompanied by the typical local pastry, pasticciotto, in one of the many cafés around Piazza Sant’Oronzo.

Otranto A Door to the East, Walking Tour

Otranto was one of ancient Rome’s leading ports for trade with Asia Minor and Greece and, under Byzantine rule, became an important stronghold of the Eastern Empire in Italy before falling to the Normans in 1070; in 1480 the town was attacked and destroyed by the Turks, and during those tragic days 800 inhabitants were beheaded after refusing to renounce their faith. Dominating the hilltop of the small town, the Cathedral was built as one of the most outstanding churches in Apulia, with its crypt erected in 1088 and the church completed about a century later, during a period of great splendor for Otranto. The guided walking tour of this jewel of the Adriatic coast includes a visit to the cathedral, where guests can admire the extraordinary floor mosaic as well as the skulls and bones of the martyrs killed in 1480, and at the end of the tour passengers may choose to return to the pier with their guide or enjoy free time in Otranto on their own.

Rab, City Walking Tour & Vilma Bakery

Explore the charming town of Rab, once encircled by medieval walls built in the 12th century, whose remains can still be seen today along the cliffs and in several areas near the harbor, as you enjoy a guided walking tour that introduces you to the town’s history and present-day life. During your stroll, you will visit the Church of St. Justine, home to the Museum of Sacred Art, and discover the atmosphere of this small yet captivating town. No visit to Rab would be complete without tasting its most famous local delicacy, produced at the Vilma bakery, founded in 1996 by Brna Vilma and his family, which grew from a single employee to more than ten during peak season. This renowned cake owes its legacy to the late Božo Sokolić, a legendary baker in Rab and Vilma’s mentor, who revealed an old recipe he received from Benedictine monastery nuns; thanks to them, the recipe was preserved intact for generations, and although it originated in Venice, it was quickly embraced on the island of Rab, where it was prized for its richness in almonds.

Zadar, Wine and Salt Stories

Start off your tour exploring the famous Nin Salt Works and Salt Museum. At the Nin Salt Works the salt is not produced by the machines nor by man. The salt is produced by the sun, sea and wind and is ecological, therapeutic, and biodynamic. On a small island in the middle of a shallow lagoon the small town of Nin can be found with its old center, connected to the mainland by two stone bridges. Nin has had an exciting past and today a lovely present. You will continue your day with a visit to the picturesque hills, home to the vineyards established in the extreme conditions, on the rocky soil. Top quality grapes from the stone vineyards and excellent wines are the results of a special microclimate, its position by the sea and a full day of direct sun exposure. Finish your excursion with an orientation tour discovering the historical and cultural monuments of Zadar. This walking tour will allow you to see the finest example of Romanesque architecture in Zadar, built in 1324 and dedicated to St. Anastasia. Further on your way you will pass by the Church of St. Donatus which is believed to have been built at the beginning of the 9th century. You will also see the 16th century St. Mary Church with a Romanesque bell-tower built at the beginning of the 12th century. Afterwards enjoy some free time before returning to your ship on your own. Please note: Wear comfortable walking shoes.
