Undiscovered Italy - Venice to Rome
Walking around Venice feels like a dream. The impossible blue of the canals, the fine mist that sometimes hangs over the city, the experience of turning a corner and seeing an all-white church on an island of its own, or a spindly tree sprouting directly out of the lagoon, give the place a “wait, is this real?”

Naples, a vibrant city with ancient roots, offers a treasure trove of archaeological wonders like the Pompeii ruins and the Naples National Archaeological Museum. Its lively streets are a feast for the senses, bustling with colourful markets and authentic pizzerias.
