Day 1: Nice, France | Embark

Nice captivates your senses with an enchanting blend of Mediterranean glamour and sun-kissed beaches. Take a leisurely walk down the iconic Promenade des Anglais, discover the historic allure of Vieux Nice by navigating its brightly colored alleyways and lively markets, and indulge in exquisite local dishes. Thanks to a consistently mild climate, this destination presents your ideal getaway, seamlessly combining French elegance with stunning natural landscapes.

Day 2: Portofino, Italy

Experience Portofino, an idyllic fishing village nestled along the Italian Riviera coastline. Stroll through the Piazzetta, a charming cobbled square perfectly framed by pastel-colored houses, luxury boutiques, and inviting seafood restaurants. From this lively center, look out over a harbor filled with gleaming super-yachts. A brief walk leads you up to the Church of St. George, dramatically positioned on the narrow neck of the headland. Step inside to find a refreshingly cool, minimalist interior. Standing at this breathtaking vantage point, appreciate a remarkable site steeped in thousands of years of history, serving both as a strategic lookout and a place of deep religious significance.

Day 3: L'ile Rousse, Corsica, France

Ile Rousse (red island) is a little town in Balagne region (northwest of Corsica), some 25 km from Calvi. It is popular with visitors but still retains its local character. Place Paoli at the center of town is a shady square bordered by tall plane trees and outdoor cafes. It is a lively spot and a great favorite with locals who gather there to play pétanque (French bowls).The old town with its traditional grid street system is also very worth a visit.

Day 4: Ajaccio, Corsica, France

Ajaccio, the capital of Corsica, is situated on the west coast of the island and is a bustling port city with a relaxed atmosphere.

Ajaccio offers a unique experience combining history, nature and gastronomy.

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 know you've arrived in Calvi!

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!
