Itinerary highlights

Arrive in Istanbul and stroll through ancient bazaars, historic mosques and seaside promenades where East meets West in a swirl of scents, spices and centuries-old culture.

Dock at Kuşadası and venture to Ephesus’s magnificent Greco-Roman ruins — walking marble streets where ancient columns, amphitheatres and age-old stones echo classical history.

Sail into Santorini's caldera, where white-washed villages cling to cliffs, blue-domed churches overlook azure seas, and volcanic sunsets paint the sky in golden hues.

Arrive in Mykonos and wander its labyrinthine lanes, stroll windswept beaches and sample lively island nightlife under a blanket of Aegean stars.

Call at Athens (Piraeus) to glimpse ancient wonders — from marble-lined agorae to iconic ruins — then reconnect with modern life in bustling harbour cafés and vibrant city streets.

Visit Olympia (Katakolon) to walk the birthplace of the Olympic Games, where ancient stadiums, temple ruins and olive groves speak to sporting heritage and classical dreams.

Explore Corfu’s green hills and Venetian lanes, where pastel facades, narrow alleys and sea-kissed coastlines recall a storied island past and laid-back Ionian charm.

Anchor in Dubrovnik and wander its ancient city walls, Mediterranean rooftops and limestone streets where every corner holds a story of maritime legacy and coastal grandeur.

Cruise into Kotor's fjord-like bay, stepping between medieval walls, UNESCO-listed old town lanes and steep mountain crags rising directly from sea glass waters.

Visit Split to explore Roman palaces, busy waterfront promenades and cobbled alleyways, where coastal breeze mingles with Dalmatian history and seaside café culture.

Finish in Venice (Ravenna), drifting through lagoon-lined canals, marvelling at Byzantine mosaics and historic churches — a timeless finale where history, water and art merge under Venetian skies.
