Delight in the summer season in Italy and Malta with these Exclusive Summer Activities:

  • Day 7: Uncover the secrets of limoncello—a sweet-tart liqueur made from Amalfi lemons—during a visit to a family-owned workshop. After learning about production, you’ll have the opportunity to taste this iconic local spirit.
  • Day 10: Visit Baia Portinenti beach, a popular relaxation spot on the island of Lipari. Perhaps you’ll join islanders for a dip or cool off with an aperitivo as you watch the waves lap against the shore.
  • Day 14: Experience a mode of transportation that’s unique to Malta when you board a colorful luzzu fishing boat for a pleasure cruise.
