Day 1: Nice, France | Embark

Nice draws you in with its blend of coastal style and relaxed seaside atmosphere. Walk along the Promenade des Anglais, lined with cafes and palm trees. Navigate the narrow streets of Vieux Nice, filled with market stalls and local shops. Sample regional dishes at outdoor restaurants. Enjoy the mild climate as you take in views of the Mediterranean. Discover a city where modern flair meets old-town character.

Day 2: Portofino, Italy

Visit Portofino, a small village along the Italian Riviera. See the harbor lined with yachts and walk through streets with shops and seafood spots. Stand in the Piazzetta, a stone square with views of the water. Hike up to the Church of St. George, set on a narrow ridge above the sea. Take in wide views of the coastline from this historic lookout, used for centuries. Explore a place where fishing roots meet modern elegance.

Day 3: Propriano-Corsica, France

The coastal town of Propriano is found on the coast of south-west coast of Corsica about halfway between the major towns of Ajaccio and Bonifacio. The harbor contains a fascinating combination of exclusive yachts and more modest fishing boats and is worth a visit to get some of the best views of the town. The own center has plenty of luxury shops, cafes, and bars to enjoy.

Day 4: Alghero-Sadinia, Italy

Alghero is the main resort in the northwest of Sardinia and one of its most beautiful medieval cities. Its bustling historic centre is packed with excellent bars and restaurants making it a great place to hang out. It is also ideally placed for exploring the beaches of nearby Riviera del Corallo. Interestingly a form of medieval Catalan is still spoken even though the Iberians left three centuries ago.

Day 5: Calvi-Corsica, France

Napoleon once said that he could recognize his native island blindfolded thanks to the wonderful scent of the maquis. When you arrive in Corsica by sea, that's the first thing you notice. The second is the wild, mountainous landscape... and when you see a medieval citadel overlooking a marina, you'll know you've arrived in Calvi!

Day 6: Sanary-Sur-Mer, France

Nestled along the Cote d'Azur, Sanary-sur-Mer is a picturesque seaside town known for its colorful harbor and lively markets. Its waterfront is lined with pastel-painted houses and traditional fishing boats, creating a charming and authentic atmosphere. Visitors can explore local art galleries, enjoy fresh seafood, and relax on sandy beaches, all while soaking in the relaxed Mediterranean vibe.

Day 7: St. Tropez (Beach and Port), France

Wet landing on this long sandy beach (4.5 km), classified as a ‘remarkable natural area’, is at the origin of the ‘Tropezian myth’: at Pampelone you can swim, sunbathe, eat, and dance...

‘Saint-Trop’, is an iconic seaside resort renowned for its glamour, luxurious lifestyle, and rich historical heritage. This picturesque town, once a modest fishing village, has become a destination that attracts visitors from all over the world with its golden sandy beaches, picturesque alleyways, luxury boutiques and fashionable restaurants.
 

Day 8: Nice, France

Stroll along the famous Promenade des Anglais, explore the historic charm of Vieux Nice with its colorful alleyways and bustling markets, and savor delicious cuisine. With its mild year-round climate, Nice offers the perfect escape where French elegance meets natural beauty.

Day 9: Lerici, Italy

It was in the Villa Magni near Lerici that Percy Bysshe Shelley spent his last happy days before sailing his small boat on its stormy fatal voyage on July 8, 1822. Lord Byron, another Lerici literary resident, once swam across what is now called the Golfo dei Poeti. The small fishing villages of San Terenzo, Tellaro, and Fiascherino, and Montemarcello are similar to the more famous Cinque Terre.

Day 10: Portoferraio - Elba, Italy

From his villa in Portoferraio, Napoleon, the exiled Emperor of France, looked out over the waiting ships in the harbor and dreamed of returning to glory. Enjoy a local vineyard tour, and near Portoferraio, discover the remains of an ancient Etruscan civilization.

Day 11: Sant'Amanza beach - Corsica | Bonifacio - Corsica, France

Sant'Amanza is considered to be one of the most beautiful beaches on the Island of Corsica. Located on its southernmost tip, it is surrounded by limestone cliffs, granite rocks, and scrub, with sands lapped by crystal-clear azure waters. It is a popular location for water sports including kite surfing.

Bonifacio, a magnificent town in the far south of Corsica, is renowned for its spectacular medieval architecture, impressive limestone cliffs, and picturesque harbor. Nestling atop steep cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, Bonifacio offers breathtaking views of the crystal-clear waters and neighboring islands.

Day 12: Alghero - Sardinia, Italy

Alghero is the main resort in the northwest of Sardinia and one of its most beautiful medieval cities. It's bustling historic center is packed with excellent bars and restaurants making it a great place to hang out. It is also ideally placed for exploring the beaches of nearby Riviera del Corallo.

Ajaccio, the capital of Corsica, is situated on the west coast of the island and is a bustling port city with a relaxed atmosphere. Known for its charming cobbled streets, relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere, and rich cultural heritage as the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte. Ajaccio offers a unique experience combining history, nature,e and gastronomy.

Day 14: Monaco, Monaco

Monaco is the fabled domain of princes and movie stars. The magnificent Palais du Prince and opulent casinos remind you of an elegant, pre-war era. With more wealth concentrated in one small area than almost any place on earth, this tiny principality retains its gilt-edged allure.
