SPRING BREAK<br />
on the move<br />
FOR THOSE<br />
IN NEED OF<br />
ADVENTURE<br />
Venice Simplon-Orient-Express<br />
1The alien-like landscape<br />
of Turkey's Cappadocia<br />
region is among the<br />
world's most dramatic - all<br />
distinctive cone-shaped<br />
rock formations lovingly<br />
christened 'fairy chimneys'<br />
and Bronze-age homes<br />
carved into cave walls. For<br />
a view of it that is equally<br />
wondrous, book a balloon<br />
ride, best taken as the sun<br />
rises to illuminate all below.<br />

Nothing<br />
represents the<br />
style and glamour of<br />
a bygone era of travel<br />
quite like a train. And no train<br />
does it quite like the Venice<br />
Simplon-Orient-Express,<br />
which made its first journey<br />
from Paris to Venice back<br />
in 1883. You can take the<br />
same trip in April, departing<br />
springtime Paris and arriving<br />
next day in the City of Water.<br />

Take<br />
the strain out<br />
of travel this season<br />
by cruising your way<br />
across the Mediterranean<br />
aboard the flagship Costa<br />
Diadema. You'll fly in for a<br />
night in Barcelona (spend<br />
it dining at the restaurant<br />
Disfrutar) before seven nights<br />
at sea and stop-offs in the<br />
likes of Civitavecchia, your<br />
gateway to Rome and its<br />
myriad ancient wonders.<br />

Swathes<br />
of bright and<br />
blooming wildflowers<br />
(and a merciful lack of<br />
fellow visitors) make driving<br />
the Amalfi Coast an absolute<br />
joy in spring, winding around<br />
cliff-hugging roads that<br />
bestow astonishing views.<br />
