Athens to Venice
The clear blue waters of the Adriatic Sea and some of the most beautiful coastal scenery in the world define the Dalmatian Coast. From the numerous sparsely populated islands of the Zadar Archipelago and the Kornati National Park to the dramatic beauty of Kotor Bay, Dalmatia is surely one of the loveliest parts of Europe. Visit some of the most remarkable monuments along the Adriatic Coast including Butrint in Albania and the Roman Palace of Diocletian in Split. Your journey begins, however, with an overnight stay on board in Piraeus and a tour of the magnificent sites of Athens’ “Golden Age”. As you leave Athens behind, the ship will call at Nauplia for an opportunity to see Mycenae and Epidaurus, Katakolon for a tour of Ancient Olympia, as well as cruise the stunning Ionian Islands. Your cruise concludes with a two-night stay in one of the most beautiful and enchanting cities in the world: Venice.
