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.

Ponza, Panoramic tour of Ponza by Bus

Leave the pier by private bus to enjoy a panoramic private guided tour of the island, the largest of the Italian Pontine Islands and famed for its Grottoes. You will discover the highlights of the island and many sites that cannot be admired from the sea like the little Church of St. Mary where San Silverio was buried and also became an Abbey under the order of Citeaux. See the beautiful Lucia Rosa Bay with its pebble beach and the Faraglioni. The name is linked to a rich and wealthy young girl, Lucia Rosa, who lost her life by jumping from heights, due to an impossible love with a fisherman. During the tour you will also have time to relax and take pictures of the breathtaking view in Cala/Punta Incenso and Felci, that takes its name from the medicinal herbs that grows in that area and was once used by hermits who settled there. Stop in Chiaia di Luna. Enjoy a pleasant tasting of the typical "Pizzicato wines" (white and pink) in a local winery before driving back to the pier.

Please note: Wear comfortable, sturdy shoes and clothing suitable for walking — portions of the route include uphill sections on uneven terrain. Don't forget your camera.

In the Napoletan dialect "chiaia" means beach. The name Chiaia di Luna is suggested by the half moon shape of the beach and by the white rock that lies at its two extremities.

Ponza, Highlights of Ponza by Boat

Leave the pier to explore Ponza by private boat. The first wonder that presents itself will be the Grotto (or cave) of Pontius Pilate, also called the "Murenaio Romano," a very well-preserved Roman monument. Proceed to the Arc of Topaz, the Cape and the Faraglioni of the Virgin, which take their names from an ancient effigy representing the Nativity of the Virgin, preserved in a church, then rebuilt and now is the chapel of the cemetery. Admire the small Cave of Ulysses, very well known for its amazing light effects during the night, the beach of the Parade, the Faraglioni of "Calzone Muto." At the southern side of the island, the Stack Guard, takes its name from the overhanging mountain, whose summit is the highest of the island. At the top, on the tip of the promontory, is the lighthouse that casts its beams of light for about 30 miles. After the "Punta del Fieno" Hay, you will see Chiaia di Luna with its majestic cliffs of tuff white-yellow, which dominates the beach, the longest on the island. Discover the Cave of the mythological sorceress Circe who enchanted Ulysses. Continue to the Faraglioni di Capo Bosco, the famous natural swimming pools, and Cala Feola, the only sandy beach on the island entirely. See the rock called the "Turtle, "for its shape. You will also see the "Forte Papa" a 16th century building, commissioned by Pope Paul III, of the Farnese family, who owns the island. In the seabed here is the U.S. military ship, Liberty, which due to a strong storm went crashing among the rocks in 1944. Proceed to Cala Cecata, the Coral Cave, Cala Fonte, Beyond Cala Ferns, from where you can see the neighboring island of Gavi. The circumnavigation continues on the east side of the island. From here, you will see the Grotta del Bue Marino, Cala Gaetano, Cala Aprea, the shingle beach of Arco Naturale or Spaccapolpi, and the impressive Arc cliff. Not far away, you can see the Rock Aniell' Antonio and Cala Inferno, and the wreck of a merchant ship, Mary Constance. From the sea, you will see part of a Roman aqueduct whose waters flowed in large tanks in the Port area. Next will be Cala del Core then before the beach of St. Mary, you can see the Blue Caves. Finally, you will enter Port Bourbon, a semicircular port, built on the original Roman setting, that follows the natural curve of the coast.

Please note: Wear comfortable clothing and bring a swimsuit if you'd like to take a dip along the way. This tour travels by traditional local fishing boat — simple, authentic, and very much part of the experience. A basic restroom is available on board.

The drive will follow the Scotti area (named after one of the first families who settled there down under the bourbons, 300 years ago) and stop at the highest point of that area, under the feet of the Guardia Mountain (the highest mountain of the island with on its top a guardian tower of the Napoleonic wars) Continue on foot, following the old donkey path on the west side of the mountain which offers breathtaking views of the wild nature of this volcanic jewel. Admire the most beautiful bay of the island with its steep coast in piroclastic tufa rock, the Cap white with its formations that appear like little Towers and the flat and prosperous vegetation with lots of plants traditionally used by the islanders to cure small diseases. You will proceed, away from the common tourist routes, to the ancient wine cellar dating back to 1700 with the typical local biancolella wines (red, white and pink).

Lipari Walking Tour & Tasting

Explore the captivating heart of Lipari, the largest and most storied of the seven Aeolian Islands, on this immersive cultural walk through one of the Mediterranean's most extraordinary natural fortresses. The island's remarkable history is concentrated around the ancient Castello — a dramatic rhyolitic rock rising above the town, its flat summit layered with centuries of civilization — and your guided walk through its cobblestone and gravel pathways reveals breathtaking panoramic views, fascinating historic architecture, and the timeless charm that has drawn visitors to these volcanic shores for millennia. Shopping opportunities along the way offer a chance to browse Lipari's unique local crafts and products before the tour rounds off in style with a superb local tasting: four wines paired with two varieties of pane cunzatu — the beloved Sicilian seasoned bread — and a delicate cannolo, a fitting celebration of the island's rich culinary heritage. Guests may then choose to take the tender back to the ship or linger in town at their leisure. What to Bring: Local currency and ID card. Please note: this tour involves significant uphill walking on cobblestone and gravel pathways and is not suitable for guests with walking difficulties.

Lipari Island & Tenute Di Castellaro with Wine Tasting

Nestled on the sun-drenched volcanic plateau of the Piana di Castellaro on the island of Lipari, Tenuta di Castellaro is a winery born from a dream — one that came to life on a morning walk in the summer of 2005 and has been evolving into something truly extraordinary ever since. The Aeolian Islands have a viticultural heritage stretching back to the Phoenicians and ancient Greek colonisers, and the volcanic soils here — rich in phosphorus, potassium, iron, magnesium, and calcium — combined with the temperate, sea-influenced climate and dramatic day-to-night temperature swings of the Piana, create the perfect conditions for organic cultivation of remarkable depth and character. Your Castellaro Experience begins with a guided tour of the cellar and a walk through the vineyard, where your host reveals the story of this ambitious agronomic project, the construction of the barrel cellar, and the philosophy of working in harmony with this uncompromising, elemental land. The experience culminates in a tasting of three wines paired with carefully chosen local gastronomic accompaniments — a journey through the scents and flavours of the Aeolian territory that is as enlightening as it is delicious. A cellar elevator is available for those who prefer to avoid the short staircase. What to Bring: Local currency, comfortable clothing, and an appreciation for exceptional wine. This experience is recommended for wine lovers and curious guests alike.

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.
