Overview
We start this trip in Rome, Italy. You will see ancient history and soak up the culture. We then jet off to the Maldives for pure relaxation. Think crystal clear water and soft sandy beaches. This trip perfectly blends excitement and calm. You get to explore busy cities and then unwind on a beautiful island. We think it is a great combination of two amazing places.
Best season: We think this trip is great all year round due to the sunny climate in both locations.
