Monemvasia

Greece

Day: 2
Date: May 7, 2028
Arrive: 8:00 AM
Depart: 6:00 PM

Although connected to the mainland by a causeway, the great hump of Monemvasia looming from the sea is an island. The medieval city seems to tumble down the sheer rock to the sea, crowned by the Byzantine church of Ayia Sophia nearly 900 feet above. In the Middle Ages, the famous Malmsey wine was made here.

Depart: 6:00 PM

Depart: 6:00 PM

Istanbul

Turkey

Day: 8
Date: May 13, 2028
Arrive: 7:00 AM
Depart: 5:00 PM

Arriving in Istanbul, Turkey on board a ship is an unforgettable experience. The Bosphorus, dividing Europe and Asia, welcomes passengers with ocean breezes, soaring seagulls and-if you're lucky-playful dolphins that frolic en route to the port. On deck is where the views of Istanbul's best attractions await.

Arrive: 8:00 AM
Depart: 5:00 PM

The Turkish city of Canakkale lies along both sides of the Dardanelles strait that links the landlocked Sea of Marmara to the Aegean. Like Istanbul on the Bosphorus - which connects the Marmara to the Black Sea - Canakkale straddles Europe and Asia while also stretching across the history of Western civilization.

Volos

Greece

Date: May 15, 2028
Arrive: 8:00 AM
Depart: 6:00 PM

The span of highrise buildings that line the waterfront at Volos speak to modern Greece, rather than the ancient land. Indeed Volos is a very Greek city, a busy port and not high on the list of places for a traveler to visit.

Patmos

Greece

Day: 12
Date: May 17, 2028
Arrive: 7:00 AM
Depart: 10:00 PM

Deserted for centuries because of constant raids by pirates and the Turks, this tiny arid island was first settled in 1088 when the Emperor of Constantinople made it a gift to the monk Christodoulos Latrnos so that he could establish a monastery in honor of St. John the Divine on the site.
