Guided tour of Dubrovnik

Lecce is, quite simply, a Baroque masterpiece. So much so that it has its own name: barocco leccese. Nicknamed &ldquo;The Florence of the South,&rdquo; the city is overflowing with rich, historical monuments. At each corner, you&rsquo;ll find a palace or church built from the soft, workable limestone that is easy to sculpt. Among the many architectural splendors we&rsquo;ll see from the outside are the buildings in the Piazza del Duomo&mdash;including the Duomo, Bishop&rsquo;s Palace, and Seminary Palace&mdash;the Roman amphitheater excavated after World War II, and the Basilica di Santa Croce.

Lecce

Leaving from Valletta, join us for an excursion to Mdina, the ancient capital of Malta found in the center of the island. The narrow, winding streets date back to medieval times and bring us up to the imposing bastions that provide a magnificent panoramic view of the island. During our tour, you&rsquo;ll discover the various architectural styles, including Byzantine and baroque. According to legend, the Apostle St. Paul is said to have lived here after being shipwrecked on the islands. We&rsquo;ll then head to the charming city of Rabat to visit the Catacombs of St. Paul, a fascinating labyrinth of subterranean tombs holding the earliest evidence of Christianity in Malta.

Mdina and Rabat

One of the most fascinating cities in Sicily awaits us today. The 2,700-year-old city of Syracuse played a key role in ancient times when it was one of the major powers of the Mediterranean world. You'll visit Ortygia, the small island that is the historical center of the city. You'll come across the majestic ruins of the Greek Temple of Apollo, the Piazza Archimede, and the Piazza Duomo, an elliptical open space lined with harmonious and impressive buildings.PLEASE NOTE<ul><li>The order of the visits can change.</li><li>Times are approximate.</li></ul>
