Orlando is a city of fun. It owes its fame to DisneyWorld and its theme parks (EPCOT, Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom), SeaWorld and Universal Studios with its fantastic Wizarding World of Harry Potter and countless other exciting attractions.

Day 3 — Howey-in-the Hills → St Augustine
St Augustine's Spanish colonial heritage, the oldest European settlement in North America, can be seen and felt in its historic district. A Mediterranean atmosphere pervades the pedestrian area, just a short walk away from a beautiful beach.
Car
Day 6 — Fernandina Beach → Wakulla Springs
Wakulla Springs State Park is both a nature reserve, offering the opportunity to observe wildlife such as manatees, alligators, and birdwatching, and a National Historic Place, awarded to the lodge of the same name commissioned by finance magnate Edward Ball in 1937, where it is still possible to stay today.

Day 8 — Wakulla Springs → Crystal River
Crystal River, a source of surprisingly clear turquoise waters, is the gem of the so-called Nature Coast. During the colder months (from November to March), dozens of manatees hibernate in the crystal-clear waters of Three Sisters Spring and King's Bay, creating an impressive spectacle. Visitors can observe them through boat or kayak excursions and even swim with them, accompanied by experienced instructors.
Car
Day 9 — Crystal River → St Pete Beach
The one between Clearwater and St Pete Beach is a single, long, beautiful 45 km beach, with hotels and activities at every step, suitable for couples and families, where there are no shortage of wild islands like Honeymoon Island and Caladesi Island, uninhabited, but easily accessible by car or ferry. Some of the most beautiful beaches in the continental United States can be found here.
