Athens

Athens, the historic capital of Greece, is a city where ancient wonders meet modern vibrancy. Known as the cradle of Western civilization, Athens boasts iconic landmarks like the Acropolis, Parthenon, Temple of Poseidon and Athena, Odeon Herodus of Atticus, the Theatre of Dionysos and the Temple of Olympian Zeus. Visitors can explore world-class museums, stroll through Plaka's charming streets, and savour authentic Greek cuisine. With its rich history, cultural treasures, and lively atmosphere, Athens is a must-visit destination for Mediterranean cruise travellers.

Make your way to the cruise terminal in Piraeus (Athens) to embark the ship.

MSC Orchestra

Watch a movie under the stars up on Pool Deck, work out and gaze out over amazing ocean views and indulge in genuine Italian gelato. MSC Orchestra is a modern floating resort with an atmosphere that is welcoming, Italian and stylish.

Izmir

Izmir is situated on a wide bay under a range of high hills halfway down Turkey's west coast. This big city with a long history is an excellent base for trips to nearby Ephesus and Pergamon. Alexander the Great started building the city and the Romans finished the job, so it's worth a visit to the Roman and Greek remains at the Agora. Walk among the colonnades and remnants of once-mighty gates and visit the statues of Poseidon, Demeter and Artemis from the altar of Zeus which are displayed in the site's museum.

Istanbul

Istanbul is where east meets west straddling the Bosphorous Strait. Visit either Asia Minor or Europe in one city, check out the Blue Mosque and St Sophia - its twin, haggle in the Grand Bazaar, visit Topkapi palace and try out an invigorating Turkish Bath.

Corfu

Corfu is the northern-most and capital of the Ionian Island chain - lying just a short hop from the coast of Albania. One of Corfu's many claims to fame is the birthplace of Prince Philip at the Palace of Mon Repos. It is where the famous zoologist Gerald Durrell lived with his family just before World War two - being the setting for his book - My Family and Other Animals, and the location for the popular TV series.

The Achilleon Palace is home to the statue of Achilles Heel and was where Kaiser Wilhelm declared World War I. Corfu Town is the largest "living" medieval town in Greece and an absolute pleasure to walk around, perhaps watch some cricket in the square or sample the excellent local cuisine. Try the local Kumquat liquor or simply watch the world go by with an ice-cold Frappe. Rolling Cypress Pine clad hills drop down to beautiful bays and beaches.

Perama is a scenic coastal area on the eastern side of Corfu, located about 7 km south of Corfu Town, making it one of the island’s most convenient bases for sightseeing and bus connections.  Famous for its iconic postcard view of Mouse Island (Pontikonisi) and the whitewashed Vlacherna Monastery, Perama sits directly opposite Kanoni and is linked to it by a pedestrian causeway. From here, visitors enjoy some of the best views in Corfu, along with easy access to taxi boats crossing to Mouse Island. The islet is one of Corfu’s most photographed landmarks, topped by a small historic chapel and steeped in local legend.

The Vlacherna Monastery, sitting at the end of a narrow walkway just offshore, is a serene 17th‑century monastery and a must‑see stop before venturing by boat to Mouse Island. Its proximity to the airport also makes Perama a popular spot for plane‑spotting and sunset photography. 

Bari

Explore Bari, Italy, a captivating coastal city on the Adriatic Sea, renowned for its rich history, medieval charm, and vibrant culture. Wander through the enchanting streets of Bari Vecchia, visit the iconic Basilica di San Nicola, and admire stunning seaside views along the Lungomare promenade. Indulge in authentic Apulian cuisine, fresh seafood, and handmade orecchiette pasta.

Combining historic landmarks, beautiful beaches, and local traditions, Bari is a must-visit destination in Southern Italy for travelers seeking culture, cuisine, and unforgettable Mediterranean experiences.
