Greece, Dalmation Coast, Italy
Fourteen day cruise aboard the SEABOURN SPIRIT starting on May 31, 2001 from Piraeus in Greece.
Cruise the Mediterranean and Adriatic Sea, Dubrovnik, Korcula and Hvar in Croatia, Venice and Sorrento in Italy, Galaxidhi (Delphi), Nafplion and Katakolon (Olympia) in Greece, Taormina in Sicily, returning in Civitavecchia (Rome) in Italy.
Piraeus is the port for Athens, where you can step from the shadow of the Acropolis into the world of the modern day Olympics. Sip a coffee with ouzo and join the Greeks in a toast to a new "golden age".
From the lovely port of Nafplion, take advantage of tours to Mycenae, one of antiquity's most powerful city-states. Here Agamemnon once ruled a city with massive walls, majestic gates and marvellous goldfilled tombs. The, site even partially restored, inspires awe.
Travel to Delphi where pilgrims once trekked to gain wisdom from the oracle. Even now, the ruins work magic for visitors. After your tour, enjoy charming Galaxidhi.
With its towering walls rising straight up from the harbour and overlooking red-tile roofs, Dubrovnik is one of the most attractive ports in the Mediterranean. Walk in the 900year-old walled city and admire its countless treasures from medieval times.
Blanketed with green forests and surround by aquamarine seas, Korcula is renowned for harboring beautiful Venetian palace churches within its medieval walls. In the twisting, narrow streets you will find the house where locals claim Marco Polo was actually born.
At Venice make a private visit to the Peggy Guggenheirn Museum, take a motor launch tour to the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello. Or indulge in a classic gondola serenade in the most romantic city on earth.
The peaceful islands of the Dalmatian Coast have been the best-kept secret of yachtsmen for years. Today, Hvar offers a fascinating juxtaposition of new and old with its sophisticated harbour and fortified Venetian style town.
Homer, Shakespeare and D. H. Lawrence all praised this Ionian island of Corfu, famed for its 13thcentury monastery and magnificent beach at Paleokastritsa. Tour the 19th-century palace of Achilleion, a dramatic contrast to the earlier Venetian ruins dotting the island.
Katakolon is your gateway to Olympia, where the athletes of antiquity flocked to the games. Our tour includes the Gymnasium, the Palestra and the museum with its classical sculptures and relics from the Temple of Zeus, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
At Taormina with Mt. Etna as a backdrop, this chic resort is visually stunning. Conditions permitting, we'll anchor in the Bay of Naxos to partake in the pleasures of the ship's marina. If your heart's desire leads you ashore, enjoy shopping and dining on the Corso Umberto and visit the ancient Greco-Roman theatre still used today for open air concerts.
The beautiful bay of Sorrento boasts beaches tucked away beside towering cliffs and colourful blossoms flourishing in the sea air. Admire the stunning Amalfi Coast. Or travel to Pompeii in the shadow of Mt. Vesuvius.
A short coach ride from Civitavecchia, Rome is a city of unending possibilities. Optional tours reveal the extensive collections of the Vatican Museums and St. Peter's Basilica, the ancient Forum and Colosseum or the Roman Castle Wine Villages in the nearby countryside.
