If you want divine and extravagant holidays, think of Dante’s Italy. It is not a raging inferno but a kaleidoscope of colors, smells, sounds and experiences that are sure to leave you spellbound. You can travel economy and save money but a better way to have a memorable experience is to do it in style and with aplomb. An extravagant and lavish holiday in Italy gets you the best of Milan, Venice, Torino, Sorrento, Florence and of course Rome. Live it up with a holiday on the Neapolitan Riveiera.
One way to go about having a rich holiday experience is to strike out on your own; land in Italy and go where your fancy takes you. Another way is to simply book a Neapolitan Riviera package with a popular tour operator like Citalia. The Neapolitan Riviera is sure to draw you like a magnet. It rivals the French Riviera and offers you an unsurpassed view, plus an opportunity to explore the rich cultural heritage.
The Neapolitan Riviera
The picturesque town of Amalfi, beautiful Ravello and inspirational Sorrento are idyllic spots for luxurious vacations. On the one hand you can explore the charms of the ocean and, at night, revel in the lively restaurants.
Luxury holidays are best left to Citalia. They will arrange accommodation at a classy hotel and then arrange excursions. A popular excursion takes you to Amalfi along a scenic road with breathtaking view. Equally attractive is the excursion to Pompeii and Vesuvius. Admire the remains at Pompeii and climb all the way up to the Vesuvius. Yet another trip takes you through Conca dei Marini, Praiano and Furore. There’s so much to see in Rome that it is best to join the guided tour and visit the most famous places in addition to the Vatican. Rub shoulders with the locals and with fellow travellers while you explore the Capri, Ischia, Positano and Cilento, all the while taken care of by your lively tour operator. It does feel like being a king when you join a luxury tour. The Riviera is simply divine, a place where you want to spend the rest of your life.
The Orient Express
If luxury and elegance is what you want, the Orient Express is your route to a delightful tour of Europe. Arranged by Citalia, you start in London, hop across the channel to Calais and board the splendid Orient Express for the tour of a lifetime. The Simpleton-Orient Express gives strength to the statement: the journey is the destination, and it is one of unmitigated luxury.
The Orient Express takes you from London to Verona and Venice. Alternatively you can take in a trip to Paris and board the Orient Express there and go on to Venice.
Multi Centre Holidays
Luxury and value for money are what you get when you go in for packaged multi-centre holiday tours. This package gets you all the flavours and colours of Italy in a convenient bundle. You can pick Rome and Sorrento; Lake Garda and Venice; Florence and Rome; Lake Garda and Verona or Florence and Tuscany Regions. Pick one package or pick more.
Take the Rome-Sorrento trip. Rome is one of those cities one must visit at least once. There is the old in the form of the Pantheon, the Sistine Chapel, the Colosseum and the Catacombs and the modern bustling city with its piazzas and fountains where you flip a coin for luck. Sorrento comes as a fresh change; a place much loved by the poets as much for its view as for the alleyways and restaurants and, of course, the Pizza and pasta that you must sample.
Another option is to take the Rome-Florence package. If Rome impresses you with its ancient monuments, Florence’s churches, palaces and art collections will mesmerize you. Explore the Piazza della signora and amble across Florence’s cobbled alleys, stopping to pick up a souvenir.
Tempting, alluring Venice and Lake Garda should be on your list. Sermione, Malcesine and Torbole offer exciting opportunities for action and then you have the incomparable ride in a gondola in Venice’s waterways. Delightful and enchanting, this tour is sheer magic, made even more so when you join a package tour.
If you have already been to Venice, you may prefer the Lake Garda-Verona holiday arranged by Citalia. Garda’s impressive scenery and opportunities for outdoor activities are balanced by Verona’s romantic gardens, cuisines and opera.
The Florence and Tuscany tour is just as tempting. Apart from the charms of Florence, you get to visit the innumerable vineyards of Tuscany and explore the coast in a roller coaster holiday. Tuscany has delectable wines, the incomparable leaning tower at Pisa, Sienna with its legacy of medieval buildings and the beaches of Viareggio.
When it comes to divine and luxurious holidays, there is no dearth of options. Each one works its magic and leaves indelible memories you will cherish. Maybe you will want to return again and again.
