Athens is a lively capital to visit and of course you can do plenty of island hopping in the colourful archipelago.
More about visiting Greece
All the beautiful landscapes of Italy: the sweet hills of Tuscany, covered with vineyards, the stately Dolomiti mountains, the blues and the greens of the sea shores, the quiet countryside, the busy towns, all framed by the window will pass you by.
Taking the train is the best way to get to know Italy: the Trenitalia network covers 10,000 miles, with 1,000 trains running daily, connecting big cities and small towns inside Italy and with all other European countries. Whatever your destination is, Italy train Passes will take you there quickly and comfortably.
It won’t take long to do all that: 1 hour and a half to go from Rome to Florence, 45 minutes from Florence to Pisa, less than 3 hours from Florence to Venice. More about Italy.
