    This guided tour of two islands in the Azores (Terceira and Sao Miguel) was a terrific value and all-around excellent experience. Led by UK-national, Daniel Torres, and several Azorean guides, this Road Scholar package lasted 11 days and was geared toward an "older" crowd (60+). Beginning on Terceira, highlights included a stay in a charming boutique hotel in the UNESCO Heritage City of Angra do Heroismo, within walking distance of scenic gardens, a protected bay, and the hiking trails on Monte Brazil. Nearly all meals were included and were of good quality and variety, with special appeal to seafood lovers. Our daily schedule typically included a short (never more than 45 minutes) bus ride to a hiking trail at a caldera or seaside cliffs, hiking for 2-4 hours with guides and commentary on earpieces, and a late lunch either back at the hotel or as a picnic. Afternoons usually included leisure time with suggestions for local museums or other attractions. Trails were easy to moderately challenging and did not involve changes in elevation over about 1000 feet. On the downside, our group was larger than we anticipated (23), but we often split into smaller subgroups (e.g., for the hikes), and our bus had a large capacity so we could spread out, with our backpacks and gear not in our laps. Also, with so many congenial fellow travelers, there was always someone new to get to know at meals! Our leader, Daniel, was outstandingly caring and accommodated everyone's varying needs regarding diet and physical ability. The volcanoes, thermal pools, calderas, cow-dotted hillsides, stone walls, and quaint villages provided something new every day. Weather can be variable, so our itinerary was flexible, and we were very fortunate to have clear days on which to take in the higher elevation sights. Wildlife is limited, because these are quite isolated islands. However, there are some endemic bird species to watch for, and one can see lizards and even bats during the daytime. If you are very lucky, you could spot a whale from shore. The not-to-miss spot, in my opinion, whether you stay on the premises or not, is the Terra Nostra Garden Hotel's thermal pool and botanical garden. The pool is huge and naturally heated to 100 degrees. The garden has 31 acres of winding paths, grottoes, streams, forests, cycads, fern trees, and just about any plant you can imagine. Eden indeed!

    Take a beautiful hike along one of the most picturesque coasts of Sardinia. Pinus village will be the starting point of the Ancient Roman road that linked Bithia to Nora, an ancient Phoenician Roman outpost created since the 7th century BC in the southwest of Sardinia. Travel along a beautiful trail that overlooks the turquoise sea surrounded by lush Mediterranean vegetation. Meet a small island where once stood the Phoenician Tophet Temple. Tophets are generally located outside the city proper and usually to the north. After the ceremony, the ashes of the burnt were placed within a vessel. Stones were then placed on top of the funerary urns to seal them and placed within the Tophet, sometimes within shaft tombs. From the 6th century BCE, stelae were dedicated to Baal or Tanit and placed on top of the urns instead of stones. The urns themselves were often recycled pots and jars from as far afield as Corinth and Egypt, and so provide a stimulating and valuable record of Phoenician trade. At the end of the excursion, the Bitan guides will have the great pleasure to offer you "Sa Picchettada," a typical Sardinian snack. At the end of the walking tour, you can have lunch in a fantastic restaurant just by the sea, where a delicious fish menu is prepared with the freshest catch of the local fishermen. (optional) Your local guide will be keen to make the tour as personal as possible. He will assist you with his expertise and recall amusing anecdotes for you before driving you back to your hotel.
