Rome is the capital city and a special comune of Italy (named Comune di Roma Capitale). Rome also serves as the capital of the Lazio region. With 2,872,800 residents in 1,285 km2(496.1 sq mi), it is also the country's most populated comune. It is the fourth-most populous city in the European Union by population within city limits. It is the centre of the Metropolitan City of Rome, which has a population of 4,355,725 residents, thus making it the most populous metropolitan city in Italy. Rome is located in the central-western portion of the Italian Peninsula, within Lazio (Latium), along the shores of the Tiber. The Vatican City (the smallest country in the world) is an independent country inside the city boundaries of Rome, the only existing example of a country within a city: for this reason Rome has been often defined as capital of two states.

Rome's history spans 28 centuries. While Roman mythology dates the founding of Rome at around 753 BC, the site has been inhabited for much longer, making it one of the oldest continuously occupied sites in Europe. The city's early population originated from a mix of Latins, Etruscans, and Sabines. Eventually, the city successively became the capital of the Roman Kingdom, the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, and is regarded as the birthplace of Western civilization and by some as the first ever metropolis. It was first called The Eternal City (Latin: Urbs Aeterna; Italian: La Città Eterna) by the Roman poet Tibullus in the 1st century BC, and the expression was also taken up by Ovid, Virgil, and Livy. Rome is also called the "Caput Mundi" (Capital of the World). After the fall of the Western Empire, which marked the beginning of the Middle Ages, Rome slowly fell under the political control of the Papacy, which had settled in the city since the 1st century AD, until in the 8th century it became the capital of the Papal States, which lasted until 1870. Beginning with the Renaissance, almost all the popes since Nicholas V (1447–1455) pursued over four hundred years a coherent architectural and urban programme aimed at making the city the artistic and cultural centre of the world. In this way, Rome became first one of the major centres of the Italian Renaissance, and then the birthplace of both the Baroque style and Neoclassicism. Famous artists, painters, sculptors and architects made Rome the centre of their activity, creating masterpieces throughout the city. In 1871, Rome became the capital of the Kingdom of Italy, which, in 1946, became the Italian Republic.

Rome has the status of a global city. In 2016, Rome ranked as the 14th-most-visited city in the world, 3rd most visited in the European Union, and the most popular tourist attraction in Italy. Its historic centre is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The famous Vatican Museums are among the world's most visited museums while the Colosseum was the most popular tourist attraction in world with 7.4 million visitors in 2018. Host city for the 1960 Summer Olympics, Rome is the seat of several specialized agencies of the United Nations, such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the World Food Programme (WFP) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). The city also hosts the Secretariat of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) as well as the headquarters of many international business companies such as Eni, Enel, TIM, Leonardo S.p.A., and national and international banks such as Unicredit and BNL. Its business district, called EUR, is the base of many companies involved in the oil industry, the pharmaceutical industry, and financial services. Rome is also an important fashion and design centre thanks to renowned international brands centered in the city. Rome's Cinecittà Studios have been the set of many Academy Award–winning movies.

Katakolon to małe miasteczko nadmorskie położone na zachodzie Peloponezu w Grecji, pełniące funkcję morskiej bramy do legendarnej starożytnej Olimpii — kolebki igrzysk olimpijskich. Dzięki dogodnemu położeniu Katakolon stał się popularnym portem dla statków wycieczkowych. Port otaczają malownicze wzgórza, a wzdłuż wybrzeża znajdują się przytulne kawiarnie, sklepy z lokalnymi przysmakami i pamiątkami. Turyści często rozpoczynają swoją podróż po regionie właśnie tutaj, udając się następnie do stanowisk archeologicznych w Olimpii, oddalonych o około 30 km.

Katakolon oferuje spokojną atmosferę i tradycyjny grecki urok: wąskie uliczki, domy z dachówką i lazurowe wody Morza Jońskiego. W okolicach znajdują się winnice produkujące lokalne wino oraz niewielkie plaże idealne do kąpieli i relaksu. W miasteczku działa również Muzeum Starożytnej Techniki Greckiej, prezentujące unikalne modele starożytnych wynalazków — od automatycznych drzwi po wczesne formy komputerów. Katakolon to harmonijne połączenie historii, natury i autentycznej greckiej gościnności.

Monemwasia — Skalna twierdza Morza Egejskiego

Monemwasia to unikalne średniowieczne miasto-twierdza, wykute w skale na wyspie u południowo-wschodniego wybrzeża Peloponezu (Lakonia). Prawie niewidoczne z lądu, jego nazwa oznacza „jedno wejście”, co odzwierciedla jego strategiczne znaczenie w czasach Bizancjum, Wenecji i Imperium Osmańskiego.​

Dziś Monemwasia zachwyca turystów zachowaną architekturą, brukowanymi uliczkami, bizantyjskimi kościołami i zapierającymi dech w piersiach widokami na Morze Egejskie. To miejsce, gdzie historia i spokój tworzą niepowtarzalną atmosferę

Santorini, classically Thera, and officially Thira, is an island in the southern Aegean Sea, about 200 km (120 mi) southeast of Greece's mainland. It is the largest island of a small, circular archipelago, which bears the same name and is the remnant of a volcanic caldera. It forms the southernmost member of the Cyclades group of islands, with an area of approximately 73 km2 (28 sq mi) and a 2011 census population of 15,550. The municipality of Santorini includes the inhabited islands of Santorini and Therasia and the uninhabited islands of Nea Kameni, Palaia Kameni, Aspronisi, and Christiana. The total land area is 90.623 km2 (34.990 sq mi).Santorini is part of the Thira regional unit.

The island was the site of one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history: the Minoan eruption(sometimes called the Thera eruption), which occurred about 3,600 years ago at the height of the Minoan civilization. The eruption left a large caldera surrounded by volcanic ash deposits hundreds of metres deep. It may have led indirectly to the collapse of the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete, 110 km (68 mi) to the south, through a gigantic tsunami. Another popular theory holds that the Thera eruption is the source of the legend of Atlantis.

It is the most active volcanic centre in the South Aegean Volcanic Arc, though what remains today is chiefly a water-filled caldera. The volcanic arc is approximately 500 km (310 mi) long and 20 to 40 km (12 to 25 mi) wide. The region first became volcanically active around 3–4 million years ago[citation needed], though volcanism on Thera began around 2 million years ago with the extrusion of dacitic lavas from vents around the Akrotiri.

Śródziemnomorskie słońce, zapach lawendy i wieki historii towarzyszą podróżnym przybywającym do Selçuk, małego tureckiego miasteczka położonego zaledwie kilka kilometrów od legendarnego Efezu. Miejsce to łączy urok anatolijskiego życia z antycznymi ruinami, gdzie każdy kamień opowiada historie z czasów Cesarstwa Rzymskiego i Bizancjum. To doskonała baza wypadowa do zwiedzania jednego z najsłynniejszych stanowisk archeologicznych w Turcji, ale samo miasteczko również zasługuje na uwagę: można tu znaleźć stare meczety, bizantyjską twierdzę i pozostałości akweduktów.

W Selçuk czas płynie powoli, pozwalając na spokojne odkrywanie muzeów i ulicznych targów z przyprawami oraz ręcznie robioną ceramiką. Wiosną odbywa się tu festiwal tulipanów, a w pobliżu znajduje się Dom Matki Bożej – miejsce pielgrzymek chrześcijan. To rzadkie połączenie starożytności, religijnej symboliki i nowoczesnego tureckiego życia sprawia, że Selçuk zostawia po sobie nie tylko zdjęcia, ale i głębokie wrażenia.
