Relish the splendor of the Italian Riviera, another Cal Discoveries favorite. Embrace the winding streets of the seaside village of Sestri Levante. Lose yourself in the coastal scenery leading to Santa Margherita, where the Gothic church of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia awaits. Cruise placid waters to the harbor of cosmopolitan Portofino and its awe-inspiring Punta del Capo lighthouse.
In Genoa, visit palazzos of Genovese aristocracy and view Christopher Columbus' house. Explore the lovely Cinque Terre towns of Portovenere and Vernazza. Time has been carved out for a review of marble sculpting art in Carrara. Finally, visit the walled city of Lucca, with its sensational Duomo, the Church of San Frediano and the Church of San Michele.
