Italian and French Riviera Vacation- May 2nd-13th, 2023

10-Nights 3-nights in Santa Margherita, 4-nights in Nice and 3-nights in Arles - Just $2,450
Here's another trip that we've been asked to repeat that was a huge hit back in 2016. We will have 3-nights on the Italian Riviera, 4-nights in Nice and finally 3-nights in Provence.
We'll land in Milan where our coach will take us to the quaint coastal town of Santa Margherita, Italy. You will love this quaint town nestled in to the hills, a short walk or boat ride to Portofino. Santa Margherita Ligure, called the Perla del Tigullio (Pearl of Tigullio), is a famous, elegant seaside resort, one of the major resorts in the Riviera di Levante, the section of the Italian Riviera east of Genoa. Santa Margherita is a great place to explore some of the other nearby towns such as Cinque Terra, Camogli and Portofino or to just relax and soak up this vacation retreat on the Italian Riviera. Then we move to Nice.
Now we are in the heart now of the French Riviera for 4 nights and will not only enjoy exploring Nice but will have easy access to some of the most exotic and interesting nearby towns in the world such as Monaco, St. Tropez and Cannes. We will have optional tours to explore these nearby towns. We will likely hire the same guide we had in 2017 whom everyone just loved. Our hotel here is right on the waterfront in the thick of all the action.
Finally, we move on to Provence with our stay in Arles. Located on the Rhone river, Arles' fame is sealed by the extraordinarily well-preserved Roman arena, Les Arènes, at the city's heart, and backed by an impressive variety of other stones and monuments, both Roman and medieval. It was the key city of the region in Roman times . It's a very interesting and cute, compact Medieval town that will make a great base to explore some of the many ancient towns that are within easy driving distance that we will have optional tours including the stunningly beautiful Aix-en-Provence , the immaculately preserved town of Avignon that's enclosed by medieval walls, the picturesque Provencal village of Gordes much favored by Parisian media personalities, film directors and artists; the immaculate preserved villages of Luberon.
