This unforgettable journey through the Mediterranean begins in Venice, perhaps the most romantic city on Earth. Enjoy a gondola ride through the canals before dining at Ristorante Quadri or Antiche Carampane—two of the oldest restaurants in the city.
From here, we say arrivederci to Italy and zdravo to Slovenia with a late-night stay in Koper. Immerse yourself in the city’s Old Town and be sure to check out Titov Trg, the heart of Koper’s medieval core. Up next is Pula, Croatia, a stunning Adriatic city that's 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 is a popular destination for explorers and foodies alike. 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 cafes, and 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 Drogarati Cave—home to the captivating underground Melissani Lake.
From Argostoli, it’s off to Gythion and the warm turquoise waters along Lakonikos Bay. And because it is Greece—where there’s no escaping the past—you can get your UNESCO World Heritage fix at the 13th-century Byzantine citadel of Mystras. 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 and its beaches that make it an ideal destination for sun worshippers.
The seaside resort town of Ҫeşme is our next stop. A popular destination for both Turks and tourists, it’s the perfect place to discover by sea with its pristine surfing and windsurfing conditions, but also by land through its collection of Greek neoclassical buildings in the Old City. Our journey concludes with an overnight stay in İstanbul, Turkey. A truly alluring city, İstanbul 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 İstanbul, and it’s all waiting for you to discover on this spectacular voyage.
