Heavenly Greece, Italy & Croatia Cruise from Athens with Stay

Itinerary

• Day 1 - Fly UK to Athens, Greece
  Fly UK to Athens, Greece. Transfer from airport to hotel for a two night stay.
• Day 2 - Athens, Greece
  Athens is the capital of Greece and one of the oldest cities in the world, with a history stretching back over 3,000 years. It’s famous for ancient landmarks like the Acropolis and the Parthenon, which still dominate the city skyline. Modern Athens mixes historic ruins with busy streets, cafés, and lively neighborhoods. It’s often called the birthplace of democracy and Western philosophy.
• Day 3 - Board cruise in Athens
  Transfer from hotel to port to board your cruise.
• Day 4 - Kefalonia, Greece
  The island of Kefalonia has flourished after falling victim to a devastating earthquake in 1953, where almost every structure was demolished. Now, Argostoli is a thriving port city with shopping, restaurants, an active harbour and warm, friendly locals. You’ll find no shortage of traditional seafood, a quaint church, and a Blue Flag-awarded sandy beach. If you’re looking for a laid-back cruise holiday with plenty of sun, Argostoli is the place for you.
• Day 5 - Dubrovnik, Croatia
  It’s easy to see why Dubrovnik is one of the best highlights on a Mediterranean cruise. In 1979, the city was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its beautifully preserved ancient architecture that you’ll love to spend hours exploring. Fans of the hit series Game of Thrones will particularly love to recreate their favourite scenes filmed here, while history and art enthusiasts will adore the fortresses and museums.
• Day 6 - Kotor, Montenegro
  Nestled among the mountains, Kotor provides the setting for a picturesque cruise holiday. A walk around Old Town Budva will take you past timeless architecture, while San Giovanni Castle has the best photo opportunities. Kotor is not just for relaxing and scenic strolls though, with Aquapark Budva providing a fun-filled day for all the family. Don’t forget to stop by the many charming eateries in between for an authentic taste of Kotor cuisine too.
• Day 7 - Bari, Italy
  Found on the southeast edge of Italy, Bari has long been a large and bustling port town which boasts some fascinating history. There are plenty of religious buildings to see which house the relics of various saints – including those of St Nicholas (Santa Claus), and Saint Columba of Ireland. It’s also worth exploring the Old Town and Piazza Mercantile, to get a flavour of traditional Bari life complete with fresh Italian cooking, children playing football, and of course plenty of wine. In the piazza is also the ‘colonna infame’, which dates back to the first century AD. It’s here where criminals were held in years gone by to be ridiculed and punished.
• Day 8 - Corfu, Greece
  One of Greece’s most verdant islands and perfect for a family holiday with charming architecture, an impressive fort and a 16th century church, Agios Spyridhon. Mount Pantokrantor rears up in the north of the island and all around the edges are sandy beaches and small villages. Whether you’re here to top up a tan on the stunning Loggas Beach or eager to discover the gorgeous monuments, Corfu has something for everyone.
• Day 9 - Katakolon, Greece
  The sleepy seaside village of Katakolon is perhaps one of the biggest tourist highlights of Greece, thanks to its close proximity to Ancient Olympia. With sparkling turquoise waters, numerous traditional tavernas and the warmth of a friendly, local community, Katakolon is the perfect place to explore on foot in the sunshine, where you’ll find museums, bars, restaurants and souvenir shops, as well as horse-drawn carriage rides and even a Beer Bike!
• Day 10 - Fly Athens, Greece to the UK
  Transfer from port to airport for a flight back to the UK.
