Naples boasts a long history in a stunning seaside setting and is known mostly for its pizza.

Day 9
Chioggia (Venice), Italy
Part of the Venetian landscape for centuries, the gondola was once the city's primary form of transport. During the 1500s, some 10,000 crafts plied the canals. The flat bottom was designed for the shallow depths of the Venice Lagoon, and its narrow width allowed the gondolier to achieve greater speed and maneuverability. Today, a few public gondolas serve as traghetti, or ferries, conveying people across the Grand Canal, while several hundred, painted black by local law, usher explorers into narrow canals, piloted by capped gondoliers in iconic striped shirts. ...

As an option, venture to the small towns of Budva and Sveti Stefan, the latter once a hideaway for the rich and famous. ... Read More
