(B) Day 8 – Venice, Italy (B,D) – Depart 6:00pm Breakfast at the hotel and transfer to the pier to board your MSC cruise. Day 9 - Bari, Italy ( B,L,D) Arrive 1:00pm / Depart 7:00pm An ancient city just waiting to be discovered It’s worth doing an excursion just to wander around the old city of Bari, an entrancing jumble of streets that are possibly the most mind-bending place to walk around on your Mediterranean cruises to southern Italy. Situated at the far end of Corso Cavour, its labyrinth of seemingly endless passages, weaving through courtyards and under arches, were originally designed to spare the inhabitants from the wind and throw invaders into a state of confusion. Here, life is lived very much outdoors, and on summer evenings it’s full of people sitting outside their kitchen doors. On arriving in the heart of Bari’s old city, you find the Basilica di San Nicola, consecrated in 1197 to house the relics of the saint plundered a century earlier from southern Turkey via Mediterranean Sea. The real beauty of the church lies in its stonework, but best of all is the twelfth-century episcopal throne behind the altar, a superb piece of work supported by small figures wheezing beneath its weight. Leaving the coast, curious-looking trulli are dotted throughout the Murge area of Puglia. Cylindrical, whitewashed buildings with grey conical roofs tapering out to a point or sphere, they are often adorned with painted symbols. The thick walls insulate equally against the cold in winter and the summer heat, while local limestone is used to make the two-layered roofs watertight. Seventy kilometres inland, Matera, situated on the edge of a ravine at the eastern end of Basilicata, dates from the Middle Ages when monks built rock-hewn churches and monasteries into what are now called the Sassi an intricate series of terraced caves. Later, farmers, seeking safety from invasions, also settled in the Sassi, fashioning their homes, stables and shops out of the rock, creating one of Italy’s oddest townscapes and its most significant troglodyte settlement. 2 Day 10 – At sea (B, L, D) Day 11 – Mykonos, Greece (B, L, D) Arrive 9:00am / Depart 10:00pm White and blue, the island’s colours When sailing on an MSC cruise to the Mediterranean Sea, Mýkonos is the quintessential image of the Cyclades. In summer most people head out to the beaches during the day, so early morning or late afternoon are the best times to wander the maze of narrow streets. The labyrinthine design was supposed to confuse the pirates who plagued Mýkonos in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and it has the same effect on today’s visitors. When you alight from your MSC cruise, getting lost in its convoluted streets and alleys is half the fun of the place. From your cruise ship you’ll pass the archaeological museum on your way into town, which was specially built in 1905 to display artefacts from the cemeteries on Rínia Island, opposite Delos. A shore excursion on your MSC Mediterranean cruise can be the opportunity to discover Mýkonos’s museums and mansions. Lena’s House is a completely restored and furnished merchant home from the turn of the twentieth century. The Folklore Museum, housed in an eighteenth-century mansion, crams in a larger-than-usual collection of bric-a-brac, including a basement dedicated to Mýkonos’s maritime past. The museum shares the promontory with Mýkonos’s oldest and best-known church, Paraportianí, a fascinating asymmetrical hodgepodge of four chapels amalgamated into one. Beyond the church, the shoreline leads to the area known as Little Venice because of the high, arcaded Venetian houses built right up to the water’s edge on its southwest side. Together with the adjoining Alefkándhra district, this is a dense area packed with art galleries, trendy bars, shops and clubs. Beyond Little Venice, the famous windmills look over the area, renovated and ripe for photo opportunities. Day 12 – Heraklion, Greece (B, L, D) Arrive 8:00am / Depart 2:00pm A striking view The best way to arrive in Iráklion is from the sea on an MSC cruise ship. It’s the traditional approach and is still the one that shows the city in its best light, with Mount Yioúhtas rising behind, the heights of the Psilorítis range to the west and, as you get closer, the great fortress guarding the harbour entrance and the city walls encircling and dominating the oldest part of town. Iráklion has superb fortifications, a fine market and atmospheric old alleys to visit when you alight from your MSC cruise. Virtually everything you’re likely to want to see lies within the north-eastern corner of the walled city. The massive Venetian walls, in places up to 15m thick, are the most obvious evidence of Iráklion’s history. Though their fabric is incredibly well preserved, access is virtually nonexistent. El Greco Park, to the right as you approach Platía Venizélou, is crowded with cafés and bars, while opposite, on the left, are some of the more interesting of Iráklion’s older buildings including the church of Áyios Títos and the Venetian city hall with its famous loggia, both almost entirely rebuilt. Just above this stands the church of San Marco, its steps usually crowded with sightseers spilling over from the nearby platía. 3 Knossós, 5km south of Iráklio on a low, largely artificial hill, was by far the largest of the Minoan palaces, thriving more than three and a half thousand years ago at the heart of a highly sophisticated island-wide civilization: it’s an excursion not to be missed on any MSC Mediterranean cruise to Greece. As soon as you enter the Palace of Knossós through its West Court, it is clear how the legends of the labyrinth grew up around it. Even with a map and description, it can be very hard to work out where you are. Day 13 – Corfu, Greece (B, L, D) Arrive 1:00pm / Depart 7:30pm Elegance embraced in a fortress An MSC Mediterranean cruise excursion can be the chance to discover Corfu Town, one of the most elegant island capitals in the whole of Greece. Corfu Town comprises a number of distinct areas. The Historic Centre, the area enclosed by the Old Port and the two forts, consists of several smaller districts: Campiello, the oldest, sits on the hill above the harbour; Kofinéta stretches towards the Spianádha (Esplanade); Áyii Apóstoli runs west of the Mitrópolis (Orthodox cathedral); while tucked in beside the Néo Froúrio is what remains of the old Jewish quarter. As you set off inland from your MSC cruise ship you’ll find that these districts and their tall, narrow alleys conceal some of Corfu’s most beautiful architecture. The New Town comprises all the areas that surround the Historic Centre. The most obvious sights during your excursion are the forts, the Paleó Froúrio and Néo Froúrio. Looming above the Old Port, the Néo Froúrio is the more architecturally interesting of the two forts. The entrance, at the back of the fort, gives onto cellars, dungeons and battlements, with excellent views over the town and bay; there’s a small gallery and seasonal café at the summit. The Paleó Froúrio is not as well preserved as the Néo Froúrio and contains some incongruous modern structures, but has an interesting Byzantine Museum just inside the gate, and even more stunning views from the central Land Tower.

  • A Youth Guide to Bari
    A YOUth Guide to Bari A YOUth Guide to Bari was cooperatively drafted by a group of students from the University of Bari, Faculty of Modern Languages, as a follow-up activity to the Workshop WRITING FOR TOURISM organized at the University of Bari in May 2012. The workshop saw active participation and involvement of over 40 students working for the first time as guidebook writers under the supervision of travel journalist and guidebook author Duncan Garwood. The guide was written with a specific target audience in mind, namely Erasmus and other foreign students in Bari. It is therefore simple, concise, and – above all – it tries to take into account the information needs of students as ‘incidental’ tourists. The authors wish to thank Prof. Maristella Gatto for the idea behind this project, for support through all steps, and for suggesting the title of this guide, and all the students who contributed to the success of the event. Needless to say, we feel a debt of gratitude to Duncan Garwood for sharing with us his expertise and for involving us in a rewarding writing experience. We hope you’ll find our guide useful and - why not – our city beautiful. Bari & Around Introduction With its breathtaking seafront, delicious food, vibrant nightlife, hectic shopping, exciting football matches and university centre, Bari has all the ingredients to satisfy everyone! The second biggest city in the South (about 328,458 inhabitants) and regional capital of Apulia, Bari overlooks the Adriatic Sea. It has been an important port for centuries and you can still pick up ferries for Greece and Albania - that’s why it’s considered the “Bridge to the East”.

  • La Basilica Di San Nicola Parte I
    La Basilica di San Nicola parte I Chi viene in Puglia si lascia inebriare dai colori e dai profumi che avvolgono le bianche cattedrali romaniche, le strette viuzze lastrica- te, le torri e le fortificazioni. Una terra dai forti contrasti paesaggistici, stori- ci e culturali; una terra straordinaria dove i racconti ancestrali della sua gente affascinano ed incantano con una narrazione emozionante e spontanea particolare delle genti di Puglia. Un posto eminente in questo panorama puglie- se ha certamente la Basilica di San Nicola in Bari, capolavoro del romanico pugliese, che custodisce da novecento ventisette anni le spo- glie mortali di un Santo venuto da Oriente. La Basilica è un percorso di fede e di cultura che contribuisce a mantenere presente nella memoria di ognuno la storia collettiva, ma anche in grado di illuminare sui contenuti della fede stessa, di favorire il dialogo ecumenico, interreligioso e interculturale. Modello delle cattedrali pugliesi, la Basilica di San Nicola si caratterizza per il predominio della pietra bianca, sia all’esterno che all’interno. Al periodo delle origini, quando la Basilica era retta dall’abate Elia (1089-1105), dovrebbero risalire sia la cattedra dell’abate Elia che il portale dei Leoni, due capola- vori di scultura romanica difficilmente eguagliabili. Con l’abate Eustazio, successore dell’abate Elia nel 1105, si ha il terzo capolavoro scultoreo, il ciborio, quindi nei decenni successivi le gallerie esafore. La sfinge e i buoi del portale principale come pure le sculture del sarcofago dell’abate Elia fanno pensare che molto materiale del palazzo del catepano venisse reimpiegato nella nuova Basilica.

  • The Miracles of St. Nicholas of Bari Welcome the Pope and the Patriarchs of the Middle East 7 July 2018 at Basilica of San Nicola, Bari
    The Miracles of St. Nicholas of Bari welcome the Pope and the Patriarchs of the Middle East 7 July 2018 at Basilica of San Nicola, Bari On the occasion of the arrival of Pope Francis and the Patriarchs in the Basilica of San Nicola in Bari, SAVE THE ARTISTIC HERITAGE will exhibit two DAW®️ (Digital Art Work) by Ambrogio Lorenzetti depicting the stories of the life of St. Nicholas (Miracle of the poor young women, St. Nicholas elected bishop of Myra, Miracle of the demoniac child and Miracle of the wheat). The two artworks are already on display to the public, and they will be placed next to the statue of St. Nicholas inside the Basilica, where the Ecumenical Meeting of Pope Francis with the Leaders and Representatives of the churches and ecclesial communities of the Middle East will take place. The artworks were originally located in the church of San Procolo in Florence. Dated around 1330, they represent the Miracles of St. Nicholas of Bari and they are kept in the Uffizi Galleries since 1919. The dimensions of the two original panels are 96 x 52.5 cm (about 45 x 51 each painting) and 92 x 49 (about 46 x 38 each painting). The works are tempera on wood panel and in Uffizi they are situated in the room of Sienese art from the 14th century. The depicted stories are characterized by exceptional and descriptive naturalness composed in rich manner and the typical gold color of the background has been reduced only to some areas of the painting giving more importance to the architecture, which occupies a large part of the background.
