Tips

To extend the trip, add a day in the Scottish Highlands from London or include a visit to the Amalfi Coast while in Italy. For a shorter itinerary, condense the Spanish segment to a single day in Barcelona and replace the Santorini stay with an evening cruise from Athens, saving both time and travel costs.
