What the day feels like

Over eight hours you’ll be shuttled by a private, English‑speaking driver between three contrasting sites: an archaeological dig that reads like a Roman street atlas, a seaside town built around viewpoints and cafés, and a vertical village of pastel houses clinging to the cliffs. The driver handles parking and highway tolls, and you are given free time at each stop to explore ruins, shops and coastal vistas at your own pace.
