Itinerary
✈ UK – Italian City: Verona, Venice, Milan, or Rome
Whilst each Italian city has its own unique charm, they all provide a lovely blend of fascinating landmarks, cosmopolitan sophistication, and the buzz of city life: the perfect complement to the tranquillity of the Italian Lakes.
Verona, famously known as the setting of Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet,’ boasts landmarks such as the Casa di Giulietta (Juliet’s house) with its iconic balcony and the Roman Arena – an ancient amphitheatre. For the best views of the city, head to Castel San Pietro or Lamberti Tower.
Venice, with its romantic waterways, offers highlights such as the Bridge of Sighs, Rialto Bridge, and St. Mark’s Square, along with the world-famous gondola rides. Head to Harry’s bar for a Bellini cocktail, believed to have been invented there.
Milan, known globally as a fashion and design capital, features historic sites such as the Duomo di Milano and the Santa Maria delle Grazie convent, home to Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘The Last Supper.’ Also, take a wander along the canal in the Navigli district, lined with trendy bars, cafes, and shops.
Rome offers must-sees such as the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Roman Forum, and the Trevi Fountain. Toss a coin, make a wish, and enjoy a stroll through the charming streets with a gelato in hand. Also head to the Vatican City, where you’ll find St. Peter’s Basilica and the breath-taking Sistine Chapel.
🚗 Italian City – Italian Lake: Lake Como, Lake Maggiore or Lake Garda.
The Italian Lakes epitomise ‘la dolce vita,’ with their blend of natural beauty, historic towns, and relaxing atmosphere – perfect after a few days at one of the Italian cities.
Lake Como is known for its upscale, romantic ambiance, with glamorous mansions, Michelin-starred restaurants, and picturesque villages such as Bellagio, Varenna, and Lenno.
Lake Maggiore exudes tranquillity and sophistication, blending Italian and Swiss cultures. Highlights include the Borromean Islands, Stresa’s scenic promenades, and the panoramic views from Monte Mottarone.
Lake Garda, the largest of the Italian Lakes, features charming towns such as Riva del Garda, Malcesine, and Sirmione, with activities ranging from water sports to exploring historic castles and enjoying local wines.
✈ Italian Lake – UK: At the end of your Italian break, we’ll transfer you back to the nearest city for your flight back to the UK.

Hannah and the team did an excellent job of organising our holiday in Italy, even informing us about a train strike while we there and booking us on to a coach instead. They gave us helpful directions from the airport to the hotel. The accommodation was very good with spacious rooms, delicious breakfasts and helpful receptionists giving us directions to the city centres. All in all we had a brilliant time.

I'd been searching for a multi centre holiday to Sri Lanka and the Maldives with no luck until i found eshores who asked what I was looking for and after a few days had come up with with what seems exactly what we wanted I've been dealing with Kadie who has been a great help . We don't go until November but everything so far has been 100% professional and I'd definitely use them again .
