Olympia is a city in the Peloponnese region of Greece. This was the location of the original Olympic Games. These games, which took place every four years in honor of the Greek god Zeus, continued throughout the entire Classical Age. The main sanctuary, or Altis, contained temples, altars, shrines, and public buildings for both religious and secular uses. The flame for each modern Olympic Games is still ignited in this city, using a reflection of sunlight in a parabolic mirror, and then transported by torch to the location where the games are to be held.

Day 5

dubrovnik, croatia

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 18:00

George Bernard Shaw referred to Dubrovnik as "the pearl of the Adriatic, a paradise on earth", and indeed, it might be one of the most stunning cities you'll ever witness. Predominantly constructed and long occupied by the Venetians, Dubrovnik exudes a regal charm and remarkable architectural harmony that attracts thousands of tourists every summer. Established in the 7th century, Dubrovnik was nestled amidst a vast oak forest, from which it derived its name. Take a stroll along the ancient city walls for panoramic views of the old town and the nearby coast. Just before leaving the old town through the western gate, make a right turn to visit the Franciscan Monastery and tranquil cloisters. Right at the entrance is Europe's oldest pharmacy, established in 1371. In the northern corner of the old city lies the Dominican Cloister and Museum, housing a polyptych by Titian. The majestic Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is situated in the heart of Poljana Marin Držić and its treasury is open for visits; look out for the artwork by Raphael. Dubrovnik boasts warm, crystal-clear waters; don't just admire it from afar, take a plunge. The adventurous can dive and sunbathe along the rocks or swim around the city walls while others marvel from above. Dubrovnik's formidable battlements shine in the early morning light, but by early afternoon, the sea's pristine blue waters lure you away from the city and its tourist noise. If you can handle the crowd, you might also discover a slice of paradise.

Day 7

rovinj (istria), croatia

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 17:00

Rovinj is a charming and scenic small town located on the western coast of the Istria peninsula. Its mild weather, sunny days, warm sea, appealing landscapes, historical landmarks, and old town make it a favorite destination all year round. The islands of the Rovinj archipelago offer a delightful afternoon getaway; the most visited islands are Sveta Katarina and Crveni Otok (Red Island), also known as Sveti Andrija. The Old Town is enchanting with its lovely cobblestone paths and Mediterranean-style old houses lining the streets. Grisia is the heart of the town, the main street of the old core, filled with a wide variety of art galleries and a must-see for any visitor to Rovinj. This winding, irregularly shaped street leads up to the cathedral. The street is paved with the same white Istrian stone used to construct many prestigious palaces and churches in Venice. The cathedral of St Euphemia towers over the Rovinj skyline. The church dates back to early Christian times. It was reconstructed in 1736 with its facade added in the mid-20th century in Venetian-baroque style. At the top of the 60 m. high bell tower, there is a copper statue of St. Euphemia, the town's patron saint, that rotates with the wind. The Local Museum, Zavicajni muzej, features an archaeological and ethnographic collection, a gallery of paintings by old and contemporary masters, a library, and an archive. The museum is located in a 17th-century Baroque palace that once belonged to the Califfi counts. In addition to being a museum, the palace also serves as a significant exhibition space. Red roofs, yellow walls, the blue sea, and a constant stream of boats create a picture-perfect scene. To put it simply, Rovinj is incredibly beautiful, likely one of the most beautiful places in Europe.

Day 8

Venice (Fusina)

Arrival: 07:00

Perhaps no city is as extraordinary as Venice, a metropolis constructed on stilts, a maze suspended over a lagoon. Venice has been referred to as Europe's living room, and indeed for centuries, the city was a haven for ideas and idealists, a junction of the Byzantine and Roman worlds. Today, Venice is a different kind of living room. Affluent visitors scramble into gondolas to marvel at the Byzantine palaces while being serenaded by accordionists and art enthusiasts strain to catch a glimpse of Renaissance masterpieces. No monument is as unforgettable as the city itself, so use the major attractions only as a pretext for exploration. Venice revolves around Piazza San Marco. The best feature of the mosaic-covered Basilica di San Marco is the Pala D’Oro, a dazzling gold Byzantine bas-relief. The Torre dell’Orologio, to the left of San Marco, is a beautifully adorned clock tower. For culture enthusiasts, check out the Accademia for the finest Venetian paintings. Some say that the tourist Venice is indeed Venice, but there are other versions of Venice as well. To discover them, stray from the major attractions and into the quieter outlying residential neighborhoods, you won’t be disappointed, this labyrinth of stone and color radiates charm from every brick.
