Mediterranean
Forge ahead to conquer the cultural treasures, millenary history and breathtaking landscapes of the world's largest sea, and the place where Europe, Africa and Asia come together.

Whether your dream vacation involves a tour of the Greek Isles, crossing the Bosphorus, savoring the French Riviera, or discovering the Holy Lands, a trip to the Mediterranean offers incomparable attractions. When in the Mediterranean, do as the Romans do, and make this beautiful paradise your own.
Amalfi
Amalfi is one of the most popular resorts and stopovers along the famed Amalfi Drive, Italy's celebrated corniche that hugs the mountainous coast and carves its way through sheer rock. Opulent villas, cloaked in brilliantly colored bougainvillea, hide behind high walls and wrought-iron gates. Waves pound against the steep shoreline and tortuous bends challenge a steady stream of tourist vehicles. Around every hairpin turn spectacular scenery awaits. Spread across the slope of the steep Lattari hills, the town itself boasts a superb setting and plenty of charm. The small, inviting center features several attractions that should not be missed. Of particular note is the duomo, also known as Cathedral Sant'Andrea, a marvel of ancient Arab-Moorish architecture. The church dominates the lively piazza, full of shops and crowded with residents and tourists at any time of day. Ruggedly beautiful and enchanting Amalfi will guarantee you a delightful introduction to Italy's famed coastline.
Mykonos
Beautifully reflected in a golden light, the white-washed fishing lodges, charming chapels and windmills of Mykonos present visitors with a picture-perfect enchanted island. Spend private time on one of many beaches or wander through the Venice Quarter where tiny cottages perch precariously on cliffs above the sea. Set out on a journey to discover a fascinating world where glamour meets simplicity. Whether you are an entertainment junkie out for a real good time, or a visitor who wishes to explore the island's history and tradition, Mykonos will certainly meet your expectations.
Provence
Provence seems to be nearly everyone's favorite bit of France. The locals are inviting, the summer weather is superb, the wine is excellent, and the French cuisine with Mediterranean flair is divine. With landscapes often exceeding the expectations of frequent travelers, the rural good life can get no better on the eyes.
Rome
When in Rome, be prepared to be culturally spellbound at every turn. World-famous sculptures and paintings, colossal architecture and legendary landmarks will bring history to life in the best of ways. From the Colosseum, The Vatican and Sistine Chapel, to the Roman Forum and Pantheon, there is no shortage of wow moments in the "Eternal City."
Santorini
Beautiful Santorini and its iconic whitewashed cliffside village surrounded by vineyards, castles and culinary greatness is one of the most picturesque places in the world -- and a bucket-list destination for many. Enjoy a boat tour along the caldera edge, the open-air cinema, winery tours, archaeology tours, photo-worthy restaurant terraces, and of course, the glorious sunsets.
Florence
In the heart of Italy's Tuscany region, Florence is the cornerstone of the Renaissance art and architecture with masterpieces still intact and on proud display. Along the cobblestone streets in this walkable city, cultural highlights include the Duomo, a giant cathedral with a terracotta-tiled dome, Michelangelo's "David" sculpture, Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus" and da Vinci's "Annunciation."
