We Do More Than Asia
It is often said that “all roads lead to Rome,” and it is true, they once did.
The name “Italy” alone conjures up images of ancient ruins, Ben Hur, Mount Vesuvius and the buried city of Pompeii. It is a country with diverse landscape and perseverance. Walk narrow paths overlooking seaside cliffs and taste the fruits. Explore the Blue Grotto in Capri and the haunt of the famous, Amalfi. Visit charming towns in the hills of Tuscany, explore the renaissance in Florence and the waterways of Venice. From Lake Como and the Swiss border to as far east as Bari exploring Italy gives you the chance to revel in Italy’s antiquity which makes it the country it is today.
Below are a few ideas on ways you can discover Italy!

Italy is a great destination for the entire family to enjoy! Water taxis, gondola rides and a visit to a glass blower’s shop besides the religiously historic sites offer a wide range of activities for everyone in Venice. A train to Florence is a relaxing way to travel before seeing Renassaince paintings, the Uffizi and Academia.
