FRÉJUS, FRANCE
Once a major port of ancient Rome, modern-day
Fréjus is home to well-preserved ruins such as
aqueducts, stone walls and an amphitheatre.
The medieval cathedral and cloisters, the Chapel
of Notre Dame de Jerusalem — and the 60-acre
gardens at the Palladian Villa Aureliene — are all
equally impressive.
SAINT-RAPHAËL, FRANCE
In the heart of the French Riviera, Saint-Raphaël
has been popular for centuries. It was first a
beach resort for the Roman Empire, then a jazz
destination in the 1920s and ‘30s and today a
coastal architectural wonder with two huge
cathedrals and a medieval watchtower perched
above the city.
GOLFO ARANCI, SARDINIA, ITALY
The Sardinian coastline is serrated by deep-cut
coves of sparkling sea, surrounded by rocky
prominences and edged in lovely strands of beach.
The Aga Khan fell in love with the place, and dubbed
it the Costa Smeralda, creating a magnet for the
global glitterati, who adore its silvery white sands.
VALENCIA, SPAIN
Located in Europe's most dense agricultural
region, Valencia was originally a Greek settlement,
before being turned into a retirement village for
Roman soldiers in 138 BC. Later, the Moors
controlled the land before and after El Cid, before
it permanently became part of Spain in the
15th century.
