European Highlights

Europe is bustling with culture, easy access, and an overwhelming array of destinations. My favorites? Almafi Coast, Italy. Fly into Rome, rent a car. Spend a day or two in Rome, head south. If your up for it, stop halfway to an agricultural working farm in the Italian countryside. Stay with a family for one night, preparing your own homemade Italian meal drinking local produced wine. Wake up, and head on to Almafi. Towns such as Positano, Naples, Sorrento, and the Isle of Capri off cliff-side retreats with breath taking views. Hole in the Wallers? Check out Hotel la Minerva (www.laminervacapri.com) on the island of Capri. Over-the-top luxury indulgent? Check out Hotel Bellevue Syrence (Sorrento) or Le Sirenuse (Positano).

I'm also a fan of Slovenia, which offers serious extreme adventure (Bovec and the Soca River Valley) and quaint coastal towns such as Portoroz and Piran. Check out Hotel Kempinksi, Portoroz. Rent a car and head south to Croatia to discover the vast coastline, or head East to discover Slovenia's wine country.

Many cruise lines are now offering cruise tours; combining land and cruising all in one. For example, Princess Cruises offers cruise tour starting in Rome, where you will spend 3 nights, Florence 1 nights and Venice 2 nights. Hope on board from Venice and cruise to romantic destinations such as Greece (Mykonos and Athens), Turkey (Kusadasi and Istanbul), Naples, Capri, and Pisa (Italy), Monte Carlo (Monaco), and Barcelona (Spain) where you end your cruise.
