Ostia - History & Beach ALI - GRR Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday (Except May 01)• Ruins of Ostia Antica• Decumanus Maximus• Baths of Neptune & Ancient AmphitheaterThe beautifully preserved ruins of Ancient Ostia were founded in the 4th century BC and once inhabited by over 100,000 people. Ancient Ostia is commonly referred to as “The Better Pompeii” due to the astonishing highly preserved condition of its buildings. Here it is easy to let your imagination fly and feel like you’ve been transported back in time -- in this once bustling Roman harbor town the ruins are so isolated that no modern houses, roads and telephone wires are visible. Walk the main street, the Decumanus Maximus, while your tour guide brings the stones around you to life. You’ll even be enticed to take a dip in the Baths of Neptune, which

Stop to the famous Emerald Grotto (optional): discovered in 1932, the once dry grotto, later invaded by the sea due to bradysismical movements, owes its name to the unusual colour of the water reaching the light that penetrates on the rocks. The interior of the cavern presents the visitors with an extraordinary, unequalled scene: the atmosphere, dominated by brilliant green and blue, is made even more fascinating by thin and above all by the spectacular forma -tions of stalagmites that emerge from the sea and, like huge

columns over 10 m high, they join to the roof. Landing in Positano, the town famous for its white-washed cubes of houses, famous for its cultural events and for the exclusive fashion created and sold in delightful little boutiques. Free me for a walk trough the beautiful alleys or to do an exclusive shopping (2 hour approx.)$65 PER PERSON

ANCIENT RUINS, & MOZZARELLA TASTINGWEDNESDAY 8AM (8 Hrs) Leave the hotel by coach to Paestum, the capital of the buffalo mozzarella cheese.

Do not miss the chance to taste under the groves the REAL mozzarella, just done by expert hands. After the visit continue on to the archaeological site: Paestum has been for a thousand years a roman c ruin in the midst of a solemn wilderness. Its Doric temples, hardly surpassed even by those of Athens in noble simplicity and good preservation, produce an incomparable effect of majesty and grandeur. The ancient site is set in a grassy eld surrounded by gardens and hills. Although the site is small, it’s so charming that you may want to spend me just relaxing here. and to the exceptional museum, that holds finds excavated from the site and around, including a set of archaic period Greek metopes. Here you will find the tomb paintings, one of which, the so-called “Tomb of the Diver”, is a graceful and expressively naturalistic piece of work, the only existing example of Greek wall painting in Italy.

WHY VISIT THE AZORES?

TOP 10 REASONS TO VISIT THE AZORES

ISLAND HIGHLIGHTS

NATURE /SCENERY - Few destinations match the natural beauty of the Azores. Mountains soar to the sky, deep lakes form in craters of dormant volcanoes, gentle hills roll to the ocean, and floral splashes of blue and pink are daubed on an ever green canvas.

WILDLIFE - Diverse flora and fauna flourish untamed in the Azores. The highlight for many nature lovers is spotting the sperm whales and dolphins passing by.

SOFT ADVENTURE - There are countless walking and hiking possibilities for all levels, with or without a guide, and great mountain-biking.

CULTURE - Isolated from the rest of the world, Azorean culture has remained undiluted by outside influences.

HERITAGE - The islands were discovered by the Portuguese in the 15th century, so there is much evidence of their rich and colorful history.

PEACE AND TRANQUILITY - with the population of the entire archipelago only 246,102 – half of whom live in São Miguel – the Azores is the perfect destination for anyone wanting to escape the stress and strains of daily life.

SOMEWHERE NEW - visitors will discover the Atlantic’s best kept secret, an unspoiled destination quite unlike anywhere else.

ISLAND HOPPING - with a network of domestic flights and boats running between islands, it’s easy to combine several destinations in one trip.

FOOD AND WINE - drawing on the riches of sea and soil, fresh fish is a favorite, and there are delicious cheeses, sweet pineapples and a choice of good locally made wines.

PEOPLE - communities in the Azores are tight-knit, with strong Catholic traditions, but the people are friendly and very welcoming.

VISIT SETE CIDADES - In west S. Miguel, is an enormous crater with two lakes, one green and one blue, surrounded by lush vegetation.

CHECK OUT THE BUBBLING MUD - Fumaroles and thermal water springs in the Furnas Valley, east S. Miguel.

WANDER AROUND ANGRA DO HEROÍSMO - Terceira, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with fascinating historic buildings starting from the 15th century.

GO WHALE WATCHING - from S. Miguel, Faial and Pico islands you’re almost guaranteed to get up close to the magnificent creatures.

JOIN THE FUN - at Sanjoaninas Festival on Terceira, one of the largest festival in the Azores with music, bullfights and fireworks, held each June.

FOLLOW A WINDING PATH - down the cliff to a fajas (flat coastal plain) on S. Jorge, one of the best islands for walking.

HIKE ALONG - Europe’s most western coastlines on the island of Flores, passing waterfalls and picturesque villages.

MIX WITH LOCALS - and transatlantic yacht crews at Peter’s Café Sport, founded in 1918 in the cosmopolitan harbour of Horta, Faial.

TOUR THE CAVES OF ALGAR DO CARVÃO - on Terceira, a network of grottoes up to 100 metres deep with lakes and eerie stalagmites and stalactites.

TAKE A BOAT FROM FAIAL - Crossing the channel between Faial and Pico, the view of Portugal’s tallest mountain rising out of the sea is unforgettable.

LAND ACTIVITIES Faial

HOLIDAYS IN PORTUGALWith its mild climate, 3000 hours of sunshine per year and 850 kms of splendid beaches bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, Portugal is the perfect holiday destination all year round.This is a country that has the oldest borders in Europe, with an exceptional range of different landscapes just a short distance away, lots of leisure activities and a unique cultural heritage, where tradition and modernity blend together in perfect harmony. Its superb cuisine, fine wines and hospitable people make this a tourist paradise of the highest quality. Situated in the extreme south-west of Europe, just a few hours from any of the other European capitals, Portugal attracts visitors from all over the world. Come and discover the charms of this country too.

Portugal is situated at the south-west point of Europe. Mainland Portugal occupies an area of 88,889 km2. It is 218 km wide and 561 km long. It has 832 km of Atlantic coast and a 1,215 km border with Spain.

The climate in Portugal varies considerably from one region to another and is influenced by the relief, latitude and proximity to the sea, which offers mild winters, especially in the Algarve. In the Porto e Norte area and Beiras region, particularly inland, nearer Spain, the winters are colder, although the temperatures are still mild when compared to the rest of Europe. There is some snowfall. It occurs mostly in the Serra da Estrela mountains, where we find the highest point in mainland Portugal (1,991 m) and where it is sometimes possible to ski. The summers are hot and dry, especially in the inland areas (Trás-os-Montes in north-eastern Portugal and Alentejo). Temperatures are slightly lower in the coastal areas, because of the influence of the sea. There are often warm, sunny days in autumn. Nice weather at the beginning of November is often called "St. Martin’s Summer" as this saint’s day is on 11 November.Portugal has a population of about 10 million. The population density is at its greatest in Lisbon, the capital and its suburbs, where about 1.9 million people live. The second largest city in Portugal is Oporto in the north. Generally speaking, there are more people living in the country’s coastal regions than in the inland areas.

Medieval castles, cobblestone villages, captivating cities and golden-sand beaches: the Portugal experience can mean many things. History, great food and wine, idyllic scenery and blazing nightlife are just the beginning…

Festivals pack Portugal’s calendar. You can drink, dance and feast your way through all-night revelries like Lisbon’s Festa de Santo António or Porto’s Festa de São João. There are kick-up-your-heels country fairs in the hinterlands, and rock- and world-music fests all along the coast. Of course, any time of year is right to hear the mournful music of fado in the Alfama, join the dance party in Bairro Alto or hit the bars in Porto, Coimbra and Lagos.
