The Isle of Madeira


Have you ever driven on a road that will take you through a waterfall, or come within inches of the waves? This winding full day drive rotates through the rough interior, although through the tunnel, barely skirt the high tide, and affords the most magnificent views over the Atlantic Ocean.

Also beautiful in Portugal, why not explore the Algarve coast, a region of pure sandy beaches, beautiful villages, and an impressive white lighthouse, Cabo de Sao Vincente, the most southwestern point of Europe.

The Amalfi Drive


Southern city of Naples and the ruins of Pompeii, Amalfi Drive winds along the Amalfi Coast between Sorrento and Amalfi town un-spoiled offers incredible views of the Tyrrhenian Sea - and the end-of-your-seat driving experience. The road had been completely carved from the mountainside in many areas and simply fell into the sea on one side and cliffs towering above the land made for driving in the fun. Beware the siren call; this coastal region is their legendary home.
