Emerald Yacht Cruises

Daily Itinerary

1. Day 1

   Dubrovnik

   Croatia

   

   Dubrovnik, Croatia's stunning port city, is a blend of rich history, dramatic architecture, and vibrant culture, making it a must-visit destination. Don't miss a stroll along the city walls for breathtaking views and savor local dishes like "peka" and "black risotto." The best time to visit is in late spring or early fall when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are thinner.

2. Day 2

   Corinth Canal

   Greece

   

   The Corinth Canal is a spectacular six-kilometer passage cut through solid limestone connecting the Aegean and Adriatic seas, realizing a dream that eluded engineers from antiquity to the nineteenth century. Transit the canal from April through October aboard small ships, combining the dramatic rock-walled passage with excursions to ancient Corinth, Mycenae, and the fortress of Acrocorinth.

3. Day 2

   Kotor

   Montenegro

   

   The port of Kotor, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and rich historical tapestry. A must-do experience includes wandering the cobblestone streets of the Old Town, where culinary delights like "kacamak" and fresh seafood await. The best time to visit is during the spring or early fall, when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are fewer.

4. Day 3

   Sarande

   Albania

   

   Sarandë is Albania's Ionian coast jewel, where the UNESCO-listed Butrint archaeological marvel and the impossibly turquoise Blue Eye spring create a Mediterranean experience rivaling Greece at a fraction of the cost. Visit June via Emerald Yacht Cruises or Virgin Voyages for six-civilization archaeological sites and Albania's exciting Mediterranean frontier.

5. Day 4

   Corfu

   Greece

   

   Where Homer placed the island of the Phaeacians and four centuries of Venetian rule left their most enduring Mediterranean legacy, Corfu is a singular island of extraordinary historical depth and natural beauty. The UNESCO-listed Old Town — its narrow Kantounia alleyways, the elegant Liston arcade, and twin Venetian fortresses — is the finest preserved Venetian streetscape in Greece. Beyond the town, secret coves, olive groves of immense antiquity, and mountain villages offer weeks of unhurried discovery. May through June and September offer perfect conditions: warm sea temperatures, clear skies, and the island before or after its summer crescendo.

6. Day 5

   Parga

   Greece

   

   Parga is a Venetian-influenced coastal town on Greece's Ionian shore, where pastel houses cascade beneath a hilltop fortress to turquoise beaches rivaling any island destination. Visit from May through October for swimming, ancient sites including the Oracle of the Dead, and the most authentic Greek waterfront dining on the mainland coast.

7. Day 6

   Lefkáda Island

   Greece

   

   Lefkada is an Ionian island connected to mainland Greece by a causeway, famous for its dramatic white cliffs and beaches like Porto Katsiki that rank among the Mediterranean's most spectacular. Must-dos include swimming at the cliff-backed western beaches, tasting savoro fish and local Vertzami wine, and sailing to the unspoiled nearby islands of Meganisi and Kastos. Visit June or September for warm seas, pleasant temperatures, and fewer crowds.

8. Day 7

   Itea

   Greece

   

   Itea is the Gulf of Corinth port serving ancient Delphi — the most important oracle of the ancient world — where the Sacred Way, Temple of Apollo, and the extraordinary Charioteer bronze await on the slopes of Mount Parnassus. Visit April through June or September through November via Seabourn or Ponant for the ascent through a million-tree olive grove to the site where ancient Greeks believed the navel of the Earth could be found.

9. Day 8

   Piraeus

   Greece

   

   The port that launched Athenian democracy's naval supremacy at the Battle of Salamis, Piraeus remains Greece's maritime heartbeat — and the most convenient gateway to both the Acropolis and the Aegean island chains. Dine on grilled sea bream at a Mikrolimano harbourside taverna, visit the extraordinary bronze Piraeus Apollo, and set sail for Hydra or Santorini by afternoon. Late April through June and September offer the Aegean at its most golden and uncrowded.
