Snack on local Sardinian seafood as you take in the diverse sights, bustling sounds, and unique aromas throughout San Benedetto’s old Cagliari Fish Market, Italy’s largest covered fish market. Wander Erice’s cobbled medieval lanes prior to sitting down with a Sicilian chef for lessons on how to prepare an authentic, 3-dish meal sourced from regional ingredients. Uncover the mysteries of the oracle Pythia at the Sanctuary of Apollo atop the ruins of Delphi complex near Itea, then transit the narrow Corinth Canal to explore the Parthenon atop the Acropolis in Athens.
