12 Nights Athens to Rome

Everything here - dramatic scenery, warm sun, romantic piazzas, seaside villages - conspires to make the traveler a loyal, perhaps even a fanatic lover of the Mediterranean. It is a healthy infatuation. A stroll along the canals of Venice quickens the heart, a frappe at a sidewalk cafe in Greece refreshes the spirit, a pause in front of a Spanish cathedral calms the mind. The French Riviera, its streets dotted with pomegranate trees and chic cafe, proves equally irresistible.
