After our breakfast at the hotel and at the indicated time, we will make our own way to Milano Centrale station to board our train to Nice.

Nice, the largest city on the French Riviera, allures visitors with its upscale resorts, stunning beaches, charming promenades, renowned museums, vibrant nightlife, and breathtaking sea views. Its urban area also ranks as the seventh-largest city in France.

Greca Tip: The name "Nice" derives from the Greek term "Nikaia," which means "victory." The city was founded by the Greeks in the 4th century BC.

After a full breakfast, our driver will pick you up from the hotel and take you to Cannes. You'll visit the Festival Palace to see the celebrities' handprints since it is the place where the famous international film festival takes place.

You will be also encouraged to explore boutiques, and sandy beaches, and enjoy the panoramic view over the Esterel mountains.

Next, you'll pass by the famous villas of Cap d'Antibes and reach the city of Antibes. It's a charming coastal town on the French Riviera. Notable in Antibes is its marina and picturesque old town, offering a delightful blend of history, art, natural beauty, and the relaxed atmosphere of the French Riviera.
