Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Istanbul
Depart 18:00
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 3
Day 3
Izmir
Arrive 10:00Depart 19:00
Izmir is Turkey's cosmopolitan Aegean capital, a three-thousand-year-old port city with a vibrant waterfront kordon, the labyrinthine Kemeraltı bazaar, and easy access to the ancient city of Ephesus. Must-do experiences include tasting boyoz pastries, exploring the Roman Agora, and day-tripping to Ephesus and its Library of Celsus. April through June and September through November offer the most pleasant temperatures for exploration.
Day 4
Day 4
Santorini
Arrive 10:00Depart 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 5
Day 5
Rhodes
Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00
Rhodes, Greece's resplendent Dodecanese jewel, merges a UNESCO-listed Medieval Old Town built by the Knights of St. John with sun-soaked Aegean beauty just seven miles from the Turkish coast. Wander the Street of the Knights before tasting *pitaroudia* fritters and local Athiri wine at an Old Town taverna, then take a catamaran to the neoclassical harbor of Symi. The island basks in over 300 days of sunshine annually, with April through June and September through October offering ideal temperatures for exploration without the peak-summer crowds.
Day 6
Day 6
Heraklion (Iraklion)
Arrive 07:00Depart 17:00
Heraklion, the capital of Crete, is a historic port city rich in Minoan heritage and Venetian architecture, making it an essential stop for cruise travelers. Must-do experiences include exploring the Palace of Knossos and indulging in local dishes like moussaka and dakos. The best season to visit is during the spring and early fall when the weather is mild and the local festivals are in full swing.

Day 8
Day 8
Dubrovnik
Arrive 09:00Depart 19:00
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.
Day 9
Day 9
Kotor
Arrive 07:00Depart 17:00
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.
Day 10
Day 10
Sarande
Arrive 09:00Depart 18:00
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.
Day 11
Day 11
Katakolon
Arrive 10:00Depart 20:00
Katakolon is the unassuming port that holds an extraordinary secret: just fourteen kilometres inland lies ancient Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games and one of the most sacred sites in the ancient world. The Archaeological Museum of Olympia — housing the breathtaking sculptures from the Temple of Zeus — ranks among Greece's finest, while walking the original stadium still sends a current of wonder through even the most seasoned traveller. The village itself charms with whitewashed tavernas and a relaxed pace that feels authentically Greek. Katakolon is best visited April through October; late spring and early autumn offer ideal temperatures for the Olympia excursion.

Day 13
Day 13
Taormina
Arrive 09:00Depart 19:00
Taormina is a cliffside Sicilian jewel 200 meters above the Ionian Sea, featuring an ancient Greek theater with Mount Etna as its backdrop, the exquisite Isola Bella bay, and some of Sicily's finest cuisine. Must-dos include a performance at the Teatro Antico, the cable car to Isola Bella, and tasting Etna volcanic wines. April through June and September through October offer ideal temperatures.
Day 14
Day 14
Sorrento
Arrive 09:00Depart 19:00
Sorrento is a clifftop jewel on southern Italy's Sorrentine Peninsula, perched sixty meters above the Bay of Naples with sweeping views of Vesuvius and Capri. Visitors should not miss the gnocchi alla sorrentina at a family-run trattoria in the old quarter, nor the short excursion along the Amalfi Coast to Positano and Ravello. The ideal season stretches from late April through mid-October, when warm Mediterranean light illuminates the tufa cliffs and the famed local lemons reach their most fragrant peak.
Day 15
Day 15
Civitavecchia
Arrive 08:00
Rome's ancient maritime gateway since the Emperor Trajan commissioned its harbour in 106 AD, Civitavecchia is the natural prologue to the Eternal City — just seventy minutes southeast by express rail. The port's Renaissance fortress, designed in part by Michelangelo, anchors a working waterfront that has welcomed travellers for millennia. Beyond Rome's unmissable monuments, consider an afternoon in the Civitavecchia thermal baths, drawing on mineral waters prized since antiquity. Spring and autumn offer the ideal balance of mild weather and manageable crowds for exploring the capital's layered history.
