Travel opportunity...
Poor Julius Caesar. He never had a private plane. Neither did Agamemnon. Ditto, Alexander. In their time, exploring the Mediterranean was a bit more than a two-week jaunt. (Think Odysseus.)
Fast forward a few millennia. The desire to see the wonders of the Mediterranean still draws. Fortunately, human progress has put a far more efficient means of transport than the triremes of yore at our disposal: the private plane. No rowing required.
Begin in Malta, the Crusaders’ island in the Mediterranean. Plenty to see and do and wonder at. Then visit seven countries in one exceptional fortnight, and take in 13 UNESCO World Heritage sites along the way. There’s the precipitous monasteries of Meteora, Greece, the monumental Roman ruins of Leptis Magna and Sabratha, Libya, and a score of cultural and architectural wonders beyond.
Indulge your inner Caesar. Empires await.
