The Jewels of the Mediterranean
This unforgettable journey through the Mediterranean begins with an overnight stay in romantic Ravenna, Italy. You’ll have ample time to pop over to Bologna to sample some of the finest pasta, cheeses, and meat sauces Italy has to offer.
From here, we say arrivederci to Italy and zdravo with a late-night stay in Koper, Slovenia. Here, immerse yourself in the city’s Old Town, and be sure to check out Titov Trg, the heart of Koper’s medieval core. Pula, Croatia is next, home to a wide assortment of beautiful Roman architecture, followed by a late-night stay in another Croatian gem, Dubrovnik. Nothing short of awe-inspiring, Dubrovnik is surrounded by ancient walls that protect an old town full of winding limestone streets and brilliantly baroque buildings.
The late-night stays continue when we arrive in Corfu, Greece. Home to the breathtaking Achilleion Palace and Mon Repos villa, this island has earned its reputation as a popular destination for explorers. Foodies, be sure to sample pastitsada (stewed meat in a tomato sauce with generous amounts of paprika) while you’re here — it’s a Corfiot specialty.
The next morning, you’ll arrive in Argostoli, Greece, a lively town sprinkled with trendy boutiques, chic cafe’s friendly locals. Strolling the pedestrian-friendly streets, you’re sure to hear the sweet sounds of Greek kantades performed by talented musicians. While you’re here, don’t miss Drogati Cave — home to the captivating underground Melissani Lake.
From Argostoli, it’s then off to Chania on the Greek island of Crete. This spellbinding town is awash in Turkish and Venetian architecture — waiting for you to take it all in from its quaint narrow laneways. Take a stroll along the beautiful harbor, or make your way to the city center, where you can indulge in a little retail therapy at many charming independent boutiques.
A late-night stay in sun-kissed Santorini, Greece, is next. Sailing into port, it’s hard to not be captivated by Santorini’s towering cliffs that plunge into the shimmering turquoise waters. Santorini’s beaches make it an ideal destination for sun worshippers, while its diverse walking paths are a dream for hikers.
Kuşadası, Turkey and the historical city of Ephesus is our next stop. This fascinating excavated city has been unearthed to provide visitors with an incredible first-hand look at life in the Greco-Roman world. While you’re here, make a point of visiting the Temple of Hadrian and Library of Celsus — once one of the most impressive buildings in all the Roman Empire.
Our journey through the jewels of the Mediterranean concludes with an overnight stay in Istanbul, Turkey. A truly alluring city, Istanbul melds together the Eastern and Western worlds, creating a unique atmosphere unlike any other on Earth. Food, architecture, history, it all has a distinct flavor in Istanbul, and it’s all waiting for you to discover on this spectacular voyage.
