21-Day Greek Isles, Evening At Ephesus, Croatia & Slovenia

May 6, 2028 – May 27, 202821 nightsAthens (Piraeus) to Fusina (Venice)

1 / 24

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.

Piraeus (Athens)

Greece

Day
1
Date
May 6, 2028
Depart
10:00 PM

Piraeus has been the port for Athens since 482 BC. The busy harbor is filled with ferries and cruise ships making their way to the Greek Islands and other Mediterranean cities. The busy metropolis of Athens and its treasure trove of antiquities lie just a few miles from the port.

Agios Nikolaos, Crete

Greece

Day
3
Date
May 8, 2028
Arrive
8:00 AM
Depart
6:00 PM

This charming village of white houses climbing up the slopes is beautifully situated on the sparkling Gulf of Mirabello. The attractive Venetian harbor is surrounded by restaurants, outdoor cafes and clusters of shops selling everything from necessities to souvenirs.

Mykonos

Greece

Day
4
Date
May 9, 2028
Arrive
8:00 AM
Depart
6:00 PM

The quintessential Greek island of Mykonos is marked by whitewashed houses, domed churches, imposing windmills, and a labyrinth of winding streets designed to disorient pirates. Everywhere there is a dash of bright, bold blue - doors, shutters and window frames, sea and sky.

Bodrum

Turkey

Day
5
Date
May 10, 2028
Arrive
8:00 AM
Depart
6:00 PM

Located on the azure Aegean, a stop at Bodrum on a Holland America Line cruise offers a glimpse into the leisurely lifestyle of the vacationers who flock to the Turkish Riviera to layout on its sun-drenched beaches, dine at trendy restaurants and take their yachts out on the smooth, clear water.

Kusadasi (Ephesus)

Turkey

Day
6
Date
May 11, 2028
Arrive
8:00 AM
Depart
11:00 PM

Kusadasi in Turkey is the gateway to one of the most legendary cities of the ancient world: Ephesus. St. Paul preached in its Great Theater, while the facade of the Celsus Library survives as a testament to the city's role as a center of learning and culture.

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.

Canakkale

Turkey

Day
9
Date
May 14, 2028
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

Day
10
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.

Symi

Greece

Day
13
Date
May 18, 2028
Arrive
8:00 AM
Depart
6:00 PM

Symi town harbor is tucked into one of the island's many corrugated coves, many of which enfold sand beaches. The island is located just offshore of the Turkish coast in the Dodecanese chain near Rhodes.

Santorini

Greece

Day
14
Date
May 19, 2028
Arrive
7:00 AM
Depart
6:00 PM

"Thira, the Wild Island" and "Kalliste, the Fairest One" - all terms of endearment for this seductive, volcanic Greek island in the Sea of Crete.

Nafplion

Greece

Day
16
Date
May 21, 2028
Arrive
8:00 AM
Depart
5:00 PM

Held to be one of the loveliest small towns in all the islands, Nafplion has a tradition and culture all its own. The sheltered location, below a rocky headland crowned by a Venetian fortress is perhaps unrivaled in Greece.

Kotor

Montenegro

Day
18
Date
May 23, 2028
Arrive
8:00 AM
Depart
6:00 PM

Kotor is a town of medieval architecture and historic monuments, influenced by its time under the rule of the Republic of Venice between 1420 and 1797. Set to a backdrop of majestic mountains, the scenery is second to none, so be sure to keep your camera handy.

Vodice (Sibenik)

Croatia

Day
19
Date
May 24, 2028
Arrive
8:00 AM
Depart
6:00 PM

Vodice features the familiar red-tiled roofs and wide, stone seaside promenades of other Dalmatian ports. Tour historic churches including the Church of St. Cross dating from 1402, or the Church of St. Elijah, dating from 1298. The "newer" baroque Parish Church of St.

Zadar

Croatia

Day
20
Date
May 25, 2028
Arrive
8:00 AM
Depart
6:00 PM

It may sound like the name of some fantastic distant land or even a planet, but the only things out of this world about Zadar are its seaside views, delicious Croatian-Mediterranean cuisine and wines and the warm welcome when you arrive in this history-steeped Croatian town.
