Bookended by two behemoth Mediterranean ports, this voyage showcases a region that was born to sparkle. Sailing from Athens, you’ll go first to Nafplion and Crete before a sea day brings you to Italy`s Bari. Montenegro’s Kotor, and its stunning seascapes, is next, before an overnight in Dubrovnik for some Game of Thrones glamour. Sail on for three days in stunning Venice, allowing ample opportunity to visit the city after the day trippers have gone. Heading south you’ll sail back through Croatia, then turn east to Corfu. A sea day brings you to an Italian finale with Lipari, an overnight in Sorrento, Amalfi, and Rome.

6 EXCURSIONS

Fusina (Venice), Italy picture
In 2019, UNESCO warned the Italian government that Venice risked being added to the “World Heritage Sites in Danger” list due to the continuous damage caused by large ships to the city's fragile architecture and ecosystem. In response, the government designated Venice's waterways as national monuments—a status typically reserved for artworks and historical buildings—granting the lagoon enhanced state protection. The new regulations require ships longer than 590 feet to find alternative berthing locations. Fusina, a nearby industrial port adhering to maritime safety and environmental laws, emerged as the solution. Although the port is not as picturesque as Venice's Grand Canal, a scenic 30-minute boat ride from Fusina brings visitors to a central city pier, offering a perfect starting point to explore all of Venice's romantic, watery attractions.

Monopoli, Italy picture
Located on the Adriatic where the heel of Italy's boot connects to the sole, Monopoli is part of the Puglia region, relatively undiscovered compared to the more heavily traveled regions of Tuscany and Campania. Puglia shares many things in common with Italy's center-stage attractions, including delicious food, here known for its herbaceous and earthy qualities, and its architecture, ranging from elaborate Baroque to basic stone. In Monopoli, the days pass a little slower and the sun seems to shine a little brighter, perhaps because there is time to stop and bask in it. At the small port, you'll find traditional fishing boats bobbing in the water and the 16th-century castle overlooking the sea from a rocky promontory.

Lipari Island, Italy picture
The Aeolian archipelago - a name derived from `Aeolus,` the god of the winds - is situated off the north coast of Sicily and consists of seven islands, the largest of which is Lipari. The main town, also called Lipari, is both charming and historic, with a largely reconstructed Norman church and a fine archeological museum and park. It is thought that people have lived on the island since 5,000 BC, though not always peacefully. Lipari was a Carthaginian naval base during the first Punic War, fell to Roman forces in 251 BC, and saw a 1544 visit by Barbarossa. His ransack of the town prompted the addition of massive city walls atop the ancient Greek acropolis. Since the 9th century, the island was also a favorite target of pirates, whose raids sent residents scurrying to the protective walls of the acropolis. Today, all is quiet on the Aeolian front, with the only raids being that of friendly visitors on the hunt for souvenirs or descending on beautiful Ponente Beach for an afternoon in the sun.

Amalfi, Italy picture
Widely hailed as one of Italy's most picturesque destinations, Amalfi is a stunning visual feast. Natural landscapes, historic architecture, and charming streets jostle with heart achingly beautiful coastal vistas for pride of place on the picturesque podium. The town's dramatic setting along the cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, with the turquoise waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea below, is perhaps one of Italy's finest views. Historically renowned as a maritime powerhouse during the Middle Ages, Amalfi's influence is reflected in its architecture, such as the impressive Cathedral of Saint Andrew with its ornate facade and distinctive Byzantine and Arab-Norman influences. The town's narrow streets and staircases wind through pastel-colored houses, creating a postcard-worthy scenes time after time while the iconic Cloister of Paradise, a tranquil haven, offers a glimpse into Amalfi's monastic history. However, no trip to Amalfi would be complete without tasting the local gastronomy. The region is world famous for its cuisine and Amalfi's local fare is a celebration of local flavors, with fresh seafood, citrus fruits, and artisanal limoncello capturing the essence of the Mediterranean.
