9 ports plotted · click a marker for details
Day 1
Athens , Greece
Sunday, 14/05/2028
With 3,000 years of history, you can't turn around in Athens without encountering the past. The Acropolis, a UNESCO site, the Plaka, and the Acropolis Museum are must-sees. But leave time if you can to climb Pnyx Hill for photos of the Parthenon at sunset, to buy your own set of Greek komboloi (worry beads), and to explore the metro stations that serve as mini-museums for the relics that are constantly being unearthed.
Day 2
Delphi , Greece
Monday, 15/05/2028
Galaxidi is a picturesque seaside town on the Gulf of Corinth, close to Delphi. Known for its rich maritime history, neoclassical mansions, and charming harbor, it offers a peaceful escape with fresh seafood tavernas, scenic walks, and views of the sea framed by mountains.
Day 3
Fiskárdo , Greece
Tuesday, 16/05/2028
The picturesque harbor of Fiskardo retains the flavor of a by-gone time with its Venetian-styled houses painted in pleasing pastel colors, a harbor full of small boats and various-sized yachts all moored just a few feet from the restaurants and cafes circling the harbor. The seafood is particularly fresh here where they take great pride in their preparation of delicious Greek cuisine.
Day 4
Gallipoli , Italy
Wednesday, 17/05/2028
Gallipoli, a sun-soaked gem on Italy's Ionian coast linked to the mainland by a bridge. Its Baroque churches, narrow cobblestone streets, and lively piazzas offer a glimpse into its rich cultural heritage. Surrounded by stunning beaches and the turquoise waters of the Ionian Sea, Gallipoli is also famous for fresh seafood, especially its prized red prawns.
Day 5
Taranto , Italy
Thursday, 18/05/2028
Taranto, located in the Puglia region of Italy, charms with its historic district featuring Greek ruins and a labyrinth of narrow streets. The Aragonese Castle and the 11th-century Cathedral of San Cataldo highlight its historic charm. Taranto is famous for its two seas, the Mar Grande and Mar Piccolo, which define its unique geography and provide beautiful beaches with sandy shores for sunbathing. Taranto is also known for its Puglian cuisine, featuring orechiette pasta, mussels, tarali (traditional biscuits), and local wines such as Primitivo and Negroamaro.
Day 6
Giardini Naxos , Italy
Friday, 19/05/2028
Today you'll discover one of Sicily's jewels, the charming village of Giardini Naxos, nestled in one of the world's most beautiful bays. An optional excursion to the popular hillside town of Taormina will be a highlight of your voyage - from the stunning setting of the iconic Greek Theater to the sparkling beaches along the Ionian Sea. Take a more adventurous tack and explore the UNESCO site of Mount Etna, Europe's most active volcano.
Day 7
Reggio di Calabria , Italy
Saturday, 20/05/2028
Reggio Calabria is a small ship exclusive port located at the tip of Italy's "boot". Known for its stunning seaside promenade, Lungomare Falcomata, it offers beautiful views of Sicily across the Strait of Messina. Key attractions include the National Archaeological Museum, home to the famous Riace Bronzes, and the Aragonese Castle. Additionally, Reggio Calabria is renowned for its rich culinary scene and features specialties such as 'nduja'. This unique soft, spreadable, and spicy sausage is made with a blend of local chili peppers. Traditionally, nduja is served on crispy bread and fresh pasta.
Day 8
Sorrento , Italy
Sunday, 21/05/2028
UNESCO World Heritage Sites abound in Sorrento. Optional tours will take you to the archaeological areas of Pompeii and Torre Annunziata, or the 4th century B.C. city of Herculaneum. Perhaps your choice will be a boat ride to Positano, the legendary home of the Sirens. Perched on a terrace on the spectacular Amalfi Coast, Sorrento offers exceptional views of the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius.
Day 9
Civitavecchia , Italy
Monday, 22/05/2028
In this enchanting city the past and present intersect in perfect harmony. Casually intermingled among ancient ruins and majestic cathedrals are the trappings of a modern metropolis: Skyscrapers,cafes, boutiques selling designer footwear. But of course what you seek first in the heart of Rome is its breathtaking history. A good place to begin is the Vatican, with its Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. Works by Bernini, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, and Raphael are just a few of those on display, any one of which is worth hours of contemplation. Then the ancient ruins-Colosseum, Forum, Circus Maximus. And of course the Trevi Fountain for the obligatory coins promising your return to the Eternal City.
