Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Barcelona
Depart 19:00
Barcelona is the city where Roman history, Gothic grandeur, and Gaudí's delirious Modernisme collide in a Mediterranean coastal capital of astonishing energy and beauty. The Sagrada Família — still under construction after 140 years — continues its audacious ascent toward completion, while the Gothic Quarter's Roman-era foundations and the Passeig de Gràcia's extraordinary concentration of Modernisme masterpieces reward days of exploration. For a complete sensory experience, lose an afternoon in the covered labyrinth of La Boqueria market before descending to the waterfront for Catalan seafood at its finest. May through June and September through October offer the most pleasant weather; the city connects directly to Paris by overnight train.

Day 3
Valletta
Arrive 09:00Depart 19:00
Valletta, the golden fortress capital of Malta, was hewn from a limestone peninsula in defiant haste after the Knights of Saint John — warrior monks of extraordinary valor — repulsed an overwhelming Ottoman assault in 1565. Its grid of steep baroque streets is dense with Caravaggio masterworks in the Co-Cathedral of St. John, shaded piazzas alive with café society, and bastions commanding breathtaking views over the Grand Harbour's legendary twin forts. The mild Mediterranean climate welcomes visitors year-round, though spring and autumn offer the most pleasurable temperatures for unhurried exploration of this compact UNESCO World Heritage capital.

Day 5
Corfu
Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00
Where Homer placed the island of the Phaeacians and four centuries of Venetian rule left their most enduring Mediterranean legacy, Corfu is a singular island of extraordinary historical depth and natural beauty. The UNESCO-listed Old Town — its narrow Kantounia alleyways, the elegant Liston arcade, and twin Venetian fortresses — is the finest preserved Venetian streetscape in Greece. Beyond the town, secret coves, olive groves of immense antiquity, and mountain villages offer weeks of unhurried discovery. May through June and September offer perfect conditions: warm sea temperatures, clear skies, and the island before or after its summer crescendo.
Day 6
Day 6
Bari
Arrive 07:00Depart 14:00
Bari, Puglia's ancient capital on the Adriatic, has served as a bridge between Western Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean for over two millennia — a heritage visible in the magnificent Basilica di San Nicola, one of medieval Christendom's most important pilgrimage churches, and in the labyrinthine Bari Vecchia where elderly women still hand-roll orecchiette in the street. The surrounding region of Puglia is among Italy's most compelling culinary destinations: burrata born in Andria, focaccia barese, and the puglian cuisine that has recently attracted international attention as Rome's and Florence's quieter, more authentic cousin. Visit April through June and September through October; the Trulli of Alberobello are forty minutes south.
Day 7
Day 7
Trieste
Arrive 09:00
Trieste, a historic port city in Italy, is renowned for its rich cultural tapestry and stunning architectural heritage. Must-do experiences include sampling local delicacies like ćevapi and sachertorte, and exploring the vibrant Mercato Coperto. The best time to visit is during the spring and early autumn, when the weather is pleasant and the city is alive with activity.
