- Days 1-3
  Venice & Verona
  Visit Venice before 9 AM when gondola traffic is light. Get to St. Mark's Square early before cruise ships arrive. Take vaporetto line 1 for excellent canal views at a better price than private gondolas. Visit Juliet's House in Verona during early morning or just before closing to avoid crowds. Plan for a 3.5-hour drive to Montecatini on winding roads. Consider motion sickness medication if needed.
- Days 4-6
  Florence & Rome
  Stay in Montecatini and take regular 45-minute trains to Florence. Book Uffizi tickets online at least one day ahead and arrive 30 minutes before your time slot. For Rome, visit the Colosseum at opening time (8:30 AM) or after 3 PM when crowds decrease. Book early morning Vatican tickets with skip-the-line access.
- Days 7-8
  Athens & Mycenae
  After your 2-hour flight from Rome to Athens, go straight to the Acropolis. Late afternoon has fewer visitors. The next day takes you to Mycenae, about 2 hours by car. The ancient stones require good footwear. A recent visitor noted: "The Lion Gate at Mycenae was incredible but those stones are slippery - wear good grip shoes and take it slow."
- Days 9-11
  Classical Greece Circuit
  Drive 2.5 hours from Mycenae to Olympia through mountain landscapes. Visit the ancient stadium in the morning before it gets hot. The 4-hour drive to Delphi should get you there by 3 PM to see the ruins in pleasant afternoon light. Spend your final day back in Athens exploring the Plaka neighborhood and local tavernas.
- Days 12-16
  Greek Islands Cruise
  Your 3-night cruise stops at Mykonos, Kusadasi (Turkey), Patmos, Heraklion (Crete) and Santorini. Reserve Santorini excursions early. Get to Oia's castle ruins 30 minutes before sunset for the best views. Pack motion sickness medication as afternoon waters can be rough.
