Welcome to the Mediterranean! There are very few places in the world that can rival the awe-inspiring beauty of the Spanish, French, and Italian Rivieras. On this 11-day, 10-night VIP all-inclusive luxury retreat, you will enjoy highlights from all three countries!
We will have a mixture of activities and downtime, though this would be considered more of an active trip due to the number of flights and moving accommodations. This retreat also has quite a few scheduled activities, but please remember everything is always completely optional. It is your vacation, and you should spend it doing what you wish.
If you would like help booking your airfare, please get in touch with Amy Walker, Owner of Walker Wellness Retreats, who would be happy to arrange this for you. Please get in touch with her directly at amy@walkerwellnessretreats.com

Packing List for Travel to Europe
Important Documentation:
Helpful Tip: Make two copies of your passport, travel insurance papers, and other essential travel documents. Diversify your copies by storing them electronically on your computer/smartphone and separating them in your money belt, carry-on bag, and checked luggage. Keep your vaccination records with your passport.
Money:
Helpful Tip: You can withdraw euros from ATMs, and it's usually the most convenient way to get local currency. However, it's always a good idea to bring some petty cash just in case of an emergency. Be mindful of the denomination you carry, as some shops and vendors may not accept large bills.
Clothing:
Helpful Tip: Pack for the season and be mindful of local customs and dress codes. If you run out of outfits, plan to do laundry or purchase clothes locally.

Additional Personal Items:
Always keep an eye on your belongings and be mindful of pickpockets and scams. If possible, leave valuable items at home or store them in a secure location such as a hotel safe. And don't forget to leave room in your luggage for souvenirs and gifts!
