Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Istanbul
Depart 17:00
For more than fifteen centuries, Istanbul has been the pivot upon which empires turned — Byzantium, Constantinople, the Ottoman capital — and nowhere else on earth compresses so much history into a single horizon. The Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Topkapi Palace form an incomparable trinity of architectural genius along the Golden Horn; the Grand Bazaar's four thousand shops offer a sensory immersion unlike any other marketplace. Must-dos include a Bosphorus sunset cruise and a meal of mezze along the waterfront at Karaköy. Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) offer the most gracious climate for this inexhaustible city.
Day 2
Day 2
Troy National Park
Arrive 07:00Depart 17:00
Troy National Park in northwestern Turkey preserves the legendary Bronze Age city that inspired Homer's Iliad, with 4,500 years of archaeological layers and an award-winning modern museum. Must-dos include walking the Troy VI citadel walls, exploring the 2018 museum's interactive displays, and contemplating the Troadic plain where myth and history merge. April through June and September-October offer the best weather for site exploration.
Day 3
Day 3
Ephesus
Arrive 07:00Depart 18:00
Ephesus is a compelling Mediterranean port in Turkey where centuries of history, vibrant local cuisine, and luminous coastal scenery converge. Visitors should explore the historic quarters on foot and surrender to the local dining culture, where fresh seafood and regional wines provide a masterclass in Mediterranean living. Best visited October through April, when cooler temperatures and lower humidity create ideal conditions. Cruise lines including Tauck feature this port on their most compelling itineraries. Whether you have a few hours or a full day, the port rewards exploration at every pace and in every direction.
Day 4
Day 4
Piraeus
Arrive 07:00Depart 18:00
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.
Day 5
Day 5
Santorini
Arrive 07:00Depart 21:00
Santorini, the ancient volcanic caldera rising from the Aegean, is Greece's most theatrical landscape — a crescentic island of sheer white cliffs plunging into an indigo sea, its clifftop villages of Fira and Oia draped in bougainvillea and culminating in the world's most photographed sunset. The island's unique Assyrtiko wine, grown on ancient ungrafted vines in volcanic pumice, is one of the Mediterranean's greatest expressions of terroir. Byzantine frescoes of extraordinary beauty fill the Prehistoric Museum of Thera. The volcanic black and red sand beaches of Perissa and Perivolos are unlike any others in Greece. April through June and September through October offer the finest conditions.
Day 6
Day 6
Chania
Arrive 07:00Depart 17:00
Chania wears its past on its sleeve. Spend the day in museums, from those uncovering the ancient history buried beneath the rocky soil to those celebrating Greece’s magnificent maritime history and the region’s unique folklore. Visit the ruins of the city-state of Aptera, a powerhouse in Minoan and Hellenistic times and eventually a Roman stronghold.
Day 7

At Sea
Day 8
Day 8
Corfu
Arrive 07:00Depart 17:00
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.
Day 9
Day 9
Dubrovnik
Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00
Dubrovnik, Croatia's stunning port city, is a blend of rich history, dramatic architecture, and vibrant culture, making it a must-visit destination.

The best time to visit is in late spring or early fall when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are thinner.
Day 10
Day 10
Zadar
Arrive 10:00Depart 19:00
Zadar, a historic port city on Croatia's Dalmatian coast, is a captivating blend of ancient architecture and vibrant culture. Must-do experiences include visiting the Church of St. Donatus and enjoying the enchanting music of the Sea Organ.

Trieste
Arrive 06:00
