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

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>

Ortygia

We&rsquo;ll leave on foot for a guided tour of the capital city of Malta. The city was built stone-by-stone by and for the Order of Knights of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem. We&rsquo;ll join the Upper Barrakka Gardens using the famously unique and convenient lift found at the waterfront. From there, you&rsquo;ll be able to take in the breathtaking panoramic view across the waters and cityscape. As we walk along the lively city streets, we&rsquo;ll visit some of the main sites, including Saint John's Co-Cathedral, which still houses Caravaggio&rsquo;s masterpiece work The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist&mdash;the only piece of art he ever signed.PLEASE NOTE<ul><li>The order of the visits can change.</li><li>Times are approximate.</li></ul>
