Destination
Mediterranean - Eastern
There are two very distinct regions of the Mediterranean - the eastern and the western. The eastern region incorporates a range of exciting and slightly less frequented cruising destinations including Greece, Turkey, Egypt and the Adriatic coastline. Within this region you will find enchanting cultures, welcoming people and delicious cuising as well as a myriad of ancient artefacts and landmarks which offer a window in time to a civilisation long lost.
Ports of Call
Athens Piraeus
City Piraeus

Athens Piraeus port is 11km from central Athens and takes 11-15 minutes to drive subject to traffic

Katakolon (Olympia), Greece
City Katakolon

Katakolon is your gateway to Olympia, where the ancient Greeks flocked every four years for more than a millennium to celebrate the sacred games dedicated to Zeus. Visit the ruins of the Sanctuary, with its athletic quadrangles, stadium-temples and treasuries; then browse in the modern Archaeological Museum, a treasure house of Archaic, Classical and Roman sculptures, including the famous Niki "Winged Victory."

Corfu, Greece
City Corfu

Though once ruled by Venetian doges, Turkish sultans and French invaders, today's Corfiot citizen is as Greek as they come. Marvel at the 17th-century icons in St. George's Church, the medieval Palace of Phrourio or the 19th-century Achilleion Palace. The greenest of the Greek Isles, Corfu also boasts thriving vineyards and olive orchards among its rugged mountains.

Kefalonia, Greece

Cefalonia/Kephallonia

Bari, Italy
City Bari

Santorini (Thira), Greece
City Santorini

With its steep volcanic flanks looming straight up from the sea, and the tiny white village of Thira clinging high atop the cliffs, Santorini is perhaps the most breathtaking and legendary of all the Greek Isles. To the south is Akrotiri, where recent Minoan excavations support the theories that Santorini might be the fabled lost continent of Atlantis.
