CRUISE DESCRIPTION:
Bid adieu to ancient Athens as we sail to Souda, jumping-off point for the Cretan city of Chania, where bustling waterfront restaurants line the promenade of a 14th-century harbor. Turkey is next: we call at the lively coastal resort of Kusadasi, the buzzy, billionaire-approved hotspot of Bodrum, and Antalya, home of Hadrian’s Gate. Limassol in Cyprus offers ancient ruins and archaeological wonders, before it`s over to Israel and the Holy Land, where we have two days in Haifa to explore the magnificent UNESCO World Heritage-listed Bahai Gardens, and pay a visit to Nazareth, rich in biblical history. Sandy shores await in Ashdod, followed by the maritime charm of Port Said, Egypt. We discover Greco-Roman architecture, 1920s-era tea rooms, and the famous Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Egypt’s former capital Alexandria, before a day at sea brings us back to Piraeus.
