Amalfi Coast - Do you wish to see a lovely coastline with a sprinkling of picturesque villages and houses along the slopes of hills overlooking the sea? Then your choice has to be the Amalfi Coast. Between the see, the hills facing it and the colorful dwellings characteristic of the local countryside, you are sure to be enchanted by the beauty of it all. The larger towns, such as Amalfi, Positano, Ravello and Sorrento, provide that additional charm which makes the area so unique.

Pompeii - Just imagine: its late in the evening, people are either going to sleep or doing their ordinary chores at home and all of a sudden there is a terrible noise, ashes and gas invade streets and houses; in a matter of minutes the whole city is dead. People have been caught unprepared and their bodies will remain forever in exactly their position at that time. This is what happened in Pompeii about 2000 years ago and now you can see casts that have been made of both men and animals, in addition to whole streets with buildings particularly well preserved.

Rome - The name is a synonym for ancient history, Christianity and beauty. Its impossible to describe in a few lines the marvels you can admire in the city. No doubt you are familiar with the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Bocca della Verita, Navona Square, the Pantheon, St. Peters Basilica, the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican Museums. These, however, are just a few of the magnificent sights that are waiting for you when you come to Rome. You have to see it to believe it!

Florence - If you speak of Florence your mind immediately associates its name with history and elegant design. This is because this city as it is today is the direct result of the Renaissance, which was born and developed here. Walking around Piazza della Signoria you cannot help admiring the wonderful buildings enclosing it and the monuments and statues decorating it. Close by are two museums - Galleria dell'Accademia and Uffizi - which have worldwide renown for the quality and quantity of their exhibits.

Chianti Region - A flask or bottle of Chianti may be found anywhere around the world. Its flavour is appreciated by millions of enthusiasts everywhere. This is really where the action is. A tour of the Chianti area will reveal to you what its vineyards look like, how the vines are trained and looked after and what wine production techniques have been developed to achieve such excellent results. Needless to say, the tour must comprise a wine-tasting event so that you may savour the best quality Chianti wine at its very origin.

Pisa - Piazza dei Miracoli, or Miracle Square, is a Unesco World Heritage Site. Once you are there, you realize why. In addition to the world-known Leaning Tower, three other marvelous buildings share the privilege of looking on to the square. They each represent a stage in mans life: the Baptistery, birth, the Cathedral, maturity, the Cemetery, death. The whole picture is extremely impressive and leaves visitors absolutely stunned for its impeccable layout and design.

Siena - Would you be disappointed if you were to go to Siena, but could not attend the Palio? You probably would, and this would be quite understandable, considering the prominence given to the Palio by all international media. However, even if you didn't manage to watch the ceremony of the Palio, Siena, you would soon find out, has in store many fine surprises. Its buildings and the layout of its streets are truly admirable examples of Medieval architecture and they are equally impressive as their more famous counterparts in Florence.

Venice - Known the world over on account of its canals, Venice was established in the early Middle Ages and since then it has grown on the strips of land that, jutting out into the sea, form its canals. Venice had its heyday between the late Middle Ages and the 18th century. Small wonder that most of its finest buildings date from that period. It is really pointless to make an extensive list of them, but we must at least mention St. Mark's Square which is the heart of the city and offers a splendid spectacle, with its Basilica, Clock-tower and Bell-tower.
