South Europe Tour Packages
Rome's Colosseum, Venice canals, Barcelona's Sagrada Familia, Athens' Acropolis and the white houses of Santorini. South Europe offers history, food, beaches and warm weather.
South Europe Tour Overview
South Europe is the home of ancient history and Mediterranean life. Italy has Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan and the Amalfi Coast. Spain has Barcelona, Madrid, Seville and Granada's Alhambra. Greece has Athens and the islands, such as Santorini and Mykonos. Portugal has Lisbon and Porto, and Croatia has Dubrovnik, Split and Plitvice Lakes.
A first trip is often 8 to 10 days in Italy with Rome, Florence and Venice, or 8 days in Spain. Greece suits 7 to 9 days with Athens and Santorini. All of these countries are in the Schengen area, so one visa covers a combined route. Summer is hot and busy, so spring and autumn are often the most comfortable.

Travel Tips for South Europe
- Apply for your Schengen visa early. Italy, Spain and Greece appointments fill quickly in spring and summer.
- Book the big sights in advance. The Colosseum, Vatican, Sagrada Familia and Alhambra sell out. Choose timed tickets.
- Beat the heat. In summer, sightsee early and rest in the afternoon, as local people do.
- Watch for pickpockets. Rome, Barcelona and Athens are well known for them. Keep bags zipped in front.
- Respect dress codes. Cover shoulders and knees at churches such as St. Peter's Basilica.
- Check city fees. Some cities charge tourist taxes or access fees, and hotels collect them at check in.
This is a likely schedule. The tour manager may adjust it for weather, flight timings or local rules.
