Discover the Mysteries of the Med
There’s so much to explore around the Mediterranean. Even if you’ve been before, this immersive Azamara voyage calls on hidden gem ports that allow you to explore further. Start in enigmatic Istanbul and visit famed sites like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapı Palace, and Basilica Cistern. Arrive in Kepez, the gateway to Canakkale, Troy, and Gallipoli. Here, a stroll along the Kordon (the waterfront promenade), followed by time spent exploring the vibrant cobbled lanes are both can’t-miss experiences.
Next, discover the many epic landmarks of Ephesus on a late stay when we call on Kusadasi. Walk in the footsteps Ephesus’ wealthiest citizens at the Terrace Houses and explore the house where Mary, Mother of Jesus, once lived. Traditional-yet-contemporary Marmaris follows, where beautiful beaches and ancient ruins abound. A late stay in Santorini means plenty of time to sip fine Greek wines, and explore the ruins of a 3,500-year-old Minoan town at Akrotiri.
Spend the following day sailing and soaking in all your boutique hotel has to offer before arriving in Valletta, Malta. We stay late here and you’ll need the extra time—marvel at St. John’s Co-Cathedral, take in fantastic views from Upper Barrakka Gardens, and stroll along the harbor boardwalk. Next, it’s all about Italy. Siracusa, Sicily, is the perfect place to immerse yourself in Sicilian cuisine with a cooking class on a late stay. Catania is rich with Baroque architecture, medieval castles, and your gateway to Taormina and Mt. Etna. Next, Naples never disappoints. From its rich, historical past (don’t miss the ruins of Pompeii) to its modern-day reputation as a gastronomic hotspot (pizza is a must), the “City of Sun” shines as an Italian port begging to be explored before your journey ends in Rome.
