Côte d'Azur - Flower Riviera

Southern France and the Flower Riviera entice with their mild climate. This trip takes you to the most beautiful destinations of the Italian and French Riviera. A blooming balcony awaits you. On one side, you look out over the sea, and on the other side, you see the steep cliffs of the Maritime Alps.

1st Day | Arrival

Departure in the morning and drive to Diano Marina on the Flower Riviera. Check into your room and have dinner at the hotel.

2nd Day | Cannes – Esterel Mountains – St. Raphael

Drive along the Ligurian coast and the Côte d'Azur, on the Flower and Esterel highway, to Cannes. There, stroll along the famous “Croisette,” the palm-lined promenade, and then continue into the Esterel Mountains. Be fascinated by the sight of the red Polypher rocks, which jut out ruggedly and eroded into the Mediterranean, interspersed with deep gorges. In Saint-Raphaël, experience the beauty of the Côte d'Azur. Here, narrow streets wind like a labyrinth through the town. Stroll through the dreamy little town. Return to your hotel for dinner.

3rd Day | Genoa – Rapallo

After breakfast, the excursion takes you to Genoa. A city tour shows you the highlights of Genoa. The journey continues on the most beautiful route of the trip, along the coastal road Via Aurelia. Here, the road leads along the wild and romantic eastern rocky coast of Liguria to Rapallo at Tigullio Gulf. There, the boat trip starts over Santa Margherita Ligure to Portofino (weather permitting). A tiny place with colorful tower houses that line the natural harbor with elegant luxury yachts. A detour to the hillside parish church of the local saint S. Giorgio is definitely worth it to enjoy the breathtaking view of the town and its bay from a bird's eye perspective. The boat returns to Rapallo and from there, you continue by bus to the hotel.

4th Day | Monte Carlo – Monaco

Today's excursion takes you along “Cap Martin” into the Principality of Monaco. You will be guided through the medieval streets of the old town to the neo-Romanesque Cathedral of Saint-Nicolas. Afterwards, you will explore the Prince's Palace (outside visit), which attracts hundreds of visitors daily with its picturesque changing of the guard every hour. Stroll through the streets of the principality and breathe in the Mediterranean air. The journey continues to the district of Monte Carlo. Here, the famous casino is worth seeing, decorated with colorful windows, sculptures, and allegorical paintings. Return to the hotel.

5th Day | Free Time

Today is yours to spend as you wish.

6th Day | Sanremo – Dolceacqua

Today you will first travel to Sanremo, the undisputed capital of the Flower Riviera. A local guide will show you the most interesting sights and give tips for your free time.
