Itinerary
Fly to Athens for an overnight stay within walking distance of the Acropolis. Your cruise departs the following day, calling at:

• Milos, Greece… this island in the Aegean Sea is known for its dramatic volcanic scenery, vibrant rock formations, and brilliant cobalt-blue waters.
• Katakolon, Greece… is a seaside gateway offering optional excursions to ancient Olympia, the legendary birthplace of the Olympic Games.
• Catania, Sicily…  is a vibrant port between the Ionian Sea and the towering Mount Etna. Visit the 13th-century Ursino Castle, or stop by a local trattoria to try arancini (fried rice ball) and pasta all norma (sautéed eggplant, tomato sauce, and salted ricotta).
• Valletta, Malta… built by the Knights of St. John, this grand fortress city features winding honeycomb streets and St. John's Co-Cathedral, home to opulent Baroque decor and an original Caravaggio masterpiece.
• Palermo, Sicily… is a captivating melting pot of Italian and North African influences, filled with Arabesque domes, ornate churches, bustling street markets, and medieval alleys.
• Salerno, Italy… this picturesque coastal hub features a breezy seaside promenade, cosy local trattorias, and a Medieval Duomo. It also serves as a jumping-off point for optional trips to the Amalfi Coast, the Royal Palace of Caserta, or the ancient ruins of Herculaneum.

Your journey concludes in Civitavecchia, where you'll transfer to Rome airport.
