Greek Isles Interlude

Availability

Athens (Piraeus), Greece

With its magnificent architecture, legendary cultural attractions and unparalleled place in history, this capital city known as "the cradle of Western civilization" is a must-see destination for world travelers. A captivating blend of the classical and the contemporary, Athens boasts some of the world's oldest and most renowned landmarks, and wears its ancient heritage proudly.

Santorini, Greece

Known as the "Black Pearl of the Aegean," Santorini has one of the most dramatic backdrops of cliffs, sea and sky in the world. The island was not always crescent-shaped as it is today. A volcanic eruption during the Bronze Age caused the middle of this once-circular island to sink, leaving an enormous sea-filled crater flanked by mammoth cliffs. This cataclysmic event is the reason for many of the island's remarkable features -- from its black-sand beaches and exquisite wines, to its fascinating archeological sites.

Rhodes, Greece

Rhodes is the largest and most easterly island of the Dodecanese, an archipelago in the south of the Aegean Sea. It is said to be the sunniest place in Europe, with an average of 300 days of sunshine a year. This ancient harbor is where the famous Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, once stood. To visit Rhodes today is to step back five centuries in time to some of the most colorful events in myth and history.

Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey

A sleepy fishing village until only recently, Kusadasi has emerged as one of the most alluring spots for travelers along the Ionian Coast. Tourists from all over the world come to Kusadasi to visit Ephesus, one of the most fascinating archeological sites available to the modern-day traveler.

Naples, Italy

Once the domain of kings and wealthy nobleman, modern day Naples is a lively, animated working port city nestled into the undulating curves of the beautiful Amalfi Coast. A vantage point for breathtaking views, Naples is surrounded by Cape Miseno on one side and the Sorrento peninsula on the other, while across the sapphire blue waters of the Bay of Naples beckons the charming isle of Capri. And while a modern metropolis in every sense, its skyline is dominated by the plumed heights of not-too-distant Mount Vesuvius.

Civitavecchia, Italy

A renaissance fort, completed by Michelangelo in 1557, guards the harbor of Civitavecchia. When you disembark here, you're a short drive away from Rome, one of the world's great cities. As rich as legend and as ancient as time, Rome invites you to visit its fantastic historical monuments, ruins, art and buildings.
