Sheila, thank you for posting another wonderful report.
I love the sailing into Venice. I could never tire of it.
The same goes for the Amalfi coast and Florence. I do really love Italy and cant wait for the opportunity to go back

Which tour company did you use for your tours???

I am looking forward to read about your impressions of the ship, crew and service

Do you have any pictures???

Can you provide more information on how you got around. Thanks in advance for your time. Your experience at the farm house is the why my wife and I love to travel. Lee

We sailed in and took a bus tour out to the farm and the surrounding area. We have been told that many people come in the summer time to holiday in the area. There are many small hotels and B&B's. Inside the old walled city there are no accomodations. I'm not sure of the transport in the area if you don't drive. I'm sure you could find a place to stay where you could walk to the beach and perhaps there are coach trips you can take to tour the area.

Lars, We used Rome Cabs for Rome, and Rome in Limo for Florence and Naples. For Ephesus we used Ekol Travel. We were very pleased with all of them. We have tons of pics but no clue as to how to post them here.

Thanks for the extra information. I will do some research and see what I can find. So many wonderful places in this world to see, and so little time. Lee

Great report! We missed Cannes when we were on the Brilliance also. I wonder when they're going to alter the itinerary?
