You might choose to hike the slopes of Mount Vesuvius or take a guided walk through the remarkably preserved ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum. For those who prefer coastal views, a boat trip along the Amalfi Coast provides a wonderful perspective of the region’s dramatic cliffs and colourful villages.

4The Historic Charm of Chania, Crete+
Today you arrive in Chania, a town known for its Venetian mansions and winding Old Town streets. This port is the traditional gateway to the 4,000-year-old Minoan ruins at Knossos. Exploring the site of King Minos' palace offers a direct link to ancient myths and Greek history, while the local villages provide a pleasant setting for a relaxed afternoon.
5Ancient Ephesus from Kusadasi+
Docking in Kusadasi on Turkey’s Anatolian Coast allows for a visit to the ruins of ancient Ephesus.

From the small seaside town of Katakolon, it is a short journey to the ancient site of Olympia. For over a thousand years, this location hosted the Panhellenic games. Visitors can see the ruins of the gymnasium, the wrestling school, and the grand Temple of Zeus, which once stood as large as the Parthenon in Athens.
