the unique buildings and water taxis are all there to be seen, admired and photographed for posterity. A Venice holiday will be a experience you’ll
remember for a lifetime.
NAPLES
Situated on the bay of Naples, the birthplace of Pizza, the city houses centuries old of important art and architecture.
The cathedral of Duomo di San Gennaro, filled with frescoes, the lavish Royal Palace and Castel Nuovo, a 13th-century castle and
the nearby Mount Vesuvius, an active volcano that destroyed the Roman town of Pompeii in 79 A.D.
PALERMO
Palermo is the capital of the Italian island of Sicily. With its busy market in the centre The Ballaro and Vucciria near the port,
the city houses the12th-century Palermo Cathedral, the neoclassical Teatro Massimo well known for its opera performances,
