Hear of the legend of a bull, or toro, that led some monks to a statue of the Virgin Mary hidden within a nearby cave. You’ll learn the cave is now a pilgrimage site sheltered within a chalk-white convent, itself built over the ruins of a 17th-century monastery. At the Torre d’en Gaumes site, explore the remains of a large hilltop town constructed 3,500 years ago during the Talayotic Era, so named for the large stones known as talayots used to build towers and other structures. Wander among the intriguing stone houses, water cisterns and storage halls that have been unearthed at this ancient settlement. You’ll view more age-old remains at nearby Torralba d’en Salord, where the most memorable landmark is a massive T-shaped stone known as a taula, a centuries-old sacred monument that is a testament to Menorca’s timeless allure.

Let your cares melt away at one of the finest beaches along Menorca’s idyllic southern coast. Indulge yourself at Son Bou, an unsullied and beautiful beach rimming the turquoise Mediterranean. Float in the gin-clear waters, stroll along the fine sand or simply relax under the sun’s warming rays. You might wish to browse the nearby shops, seaside bars and restaurants, or perhaps venture farther down the picturesque coastline to the ruins of the early-Christian Basílica de Son Bou.

Whether lazing on the sand or floating in the sea, you’ll appreciate your rejuvenating outing on this Spanish island paradise.

Immerse yourself in this all-encompassing tour through Menorca’s charming fishing villages and peaceful inland towns.

Trace the British influence on Menorca by visiting one fort that the soldiers expanded while occupying the island and then sampling gin at distillery that the British opened. After departing from the pier, you will soon arrive at Fort Marlborough, an early 18th-century fort named for the British general John Churchill, the first Duke of Marlborough. Starting in 1713, the British ruled Menorca on and off for nearly 100 years, and their influence can still be seen throughout Mahon, especially in military fortifications. While meandering around Fort Marlborough, you will learn about its construction, which features a well-concealed entry tunnel, and how the Spanish partially destroyed the fort during a siege in 1782. After the visit of the fort, you will be transferred to Es Castell: situated on the Port of Maó, it is the most British town in Spain. It was built during the 18th century by the British engineers and formally known as Georgetown (in the honor of George III of Britain). If you take a look at the street plan you will note that the streets preserve the original cross-sectioned streets reflecting its British roots and that there is a parade square together with the British barracks, with Georgian architecture featuring bow windows and typical “guillotine” windows. After a guided visit at the square, you will have some free time to visit the small fishing port. Leaving Es Castell, as further evidence of the British influence, you will visit a gin distillery that they opened in the 18th century. While touring, be sure to notice the original copper still and then enjoy a sampling of the gin.

Discover how Mahon curtailed a potentially harmful development project and follow a trail built in 1330 for defensive purposes that has been repurposed for nature walks. Looking at the pristine lagoons within the Albufera Natural Park, it is hard to imagine that a large-scale housing development was once proposed to be built there. The idea was not only squashed but also some of the existing homes were demolished to further protect the ecology. Menorca is committed to saving its natural wonders, which are bountiful as you will discover while walking the Camí de Cavalls. More than 100 miles long, this 14th-century path has been restored and divided into sections that highlight environments as diverse as wetlands and rocky gullies. You will walk through one of the most scenic areas, where you can still see vestiges of past military occupations such as the British-built tower Torre de Rambles.

Experience the life of a sheep farmer and shepherd by visiting a characteristic farm that produces dairy products from highly prized Menorcan sheep.

Explore two of the Italian Riviera’s most captivating coastal towns, Rapallo and Sestri Levante, on this idyllic excursion. Relax during a brief yet spellbinding cruise to Rapallo, a charming waterfront community graced with attractively painted buildings. You’ll embark on an approximately one-hour walking tour of the town’s key highlights, perhaps seeing historic Rapallo Castle, a stately clock tower dating from 1473 and several centuries-old churches. Reboarding your boat, sail to seductive Sestri Levante, which is often referred to as the Town of Two Seas because it sits on a rocky headland that boasts exquisite bays on both sides. You’ll discover that the lively Bay of Fables, named by Hans Christian Andersen, features an expansive beach, whereas the much smaller Bay of Silence is intimate, romantic and characterized by the timeless rhythms of the local fishermen. Appreciate a short guided tour of the town followed by time on your own to browse the town’s inviting art galleries, visit the Romanesque Chiesa di San Nicolò dell’Isola or simply stroll seaside as your cares gently drift away on the ocean breeze.

Gain a privileged perspective on the Italian Riviera as you journey on a boat that skirts the spectacular coastline with a stop at a characteristic seaside village. During your cruise, you’ll capture one terrific photo after another of the gorgeous cliffs and cozy coves that grace the picturesque Ligurian coast. Sail into a tiny, forest-lined inlet only accessible by boat or on foot and discover the Abbey of San Fruttuoso tucked away in this remarkable setting. Continuing on, you’ll reach the small fishing village of Camogli, which is renowned for its brightly painted houses, expansive waterfront promenade and small fishing harbor. Visit the wonderful Baroque Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta, which sits in an utterly enchanting square and houses numerous works by Ligurian artists. Rejoice in time at your leisure to stroll along the harbor and promenade, perhaps stopping at one of the colorful shops and cafés to select a memorable souvenir or a cooling gelato. Cap off your truly memorable outing with locally made wine and traditional Genoese bread, baked with olive oil and salt, served during your leisurely cruise back to Portofino.

Sample the rich and flavorful cuisine of the Italian Riviera during a cooking class at a renowned restaurant followed by lunch with local wines. You’ll start your epicurean adventure with a brief cruise along the dazzling coastline to the village of Santa Margherita Ligure, from where you’ll drive through the scenic countryside to the seaside town of Recco. In this delightful community, you’ll find noted Ristorante Da ö Vittorio, whose chef will be happy to share the secrets of his art. Dive into a truly fun and informative hands-on demonstration on the creation of local specialties, which may include a dish prepared with locally caught fish as well as handmade pasta and ravioli with pesto, the savory green sauce created in Genoa that is traditionally crafted using fresh basil, garlic, cheese and pine nuts or walnuts. At the conclusion of your class, you’ll sit for a leisurely lunch consisting of an array of delectable regional dishes, including your own creations, all paired with distinctive local wines. Top off your meal with a delicious dessert and coffee, a perfect finale to your gastronomic survey of the Italian Riviera.

Watch a chef prepare authentic Pesto Genoese for you to taste over trofie pasta. Dine on a multi-course lunch of other classic Ligurian dishes. Enjoy a panoramic cruise to Santa Margherita before an equally scenic drive to Genoa.

Cherish a violin once played by the virtuosic maestro Paganini in the Palazzo Doria Tursi. Enjoy time at your leisure to lunch in a trattoria or pick up a memento or two in a welcoming shop.

Cruise to Santa Margherita to watch traditional handicrafts being made and visit a farm in Portofino to sample delicacies made with ingredients grown on the premises. The ferry will take you to the former fishing village of Santa Margherita, where you will visit a workshop to watch local women embroidering and explain the history of the traditional process. The technique dates to the 16th century, when bobbin lace was included in the dowries of affluent women. Following the demonstration, you may explore Santa Margherita on your own. As an alternative, you might simply sit on a waterfront bench and gaze at the sea and the pastel-colored homes clinging to the hillside. Back in Portofino, you will walk to Niasca, a nearby farm with olive groves and lemon orchards. Here, you will have the opportunity to sample some of products made on site, such as crispy focaccia bread, olive oil and lemonade.
