  1. Day 1

    Venice, Italy

    Arrive in Venice by water, where the lagoon’s canals replace ordinary streets. St Mark’s Basilica and Doge’s Palace anchor the celebrated Piazza San Marco. Take a vaporetto along the Grand Canal, then explore a quieter neighborhood on foot. Confirm your ship’s terminal and transfer arrangements before setting out; cruise access varies. Near Rialto, the market and bridge offer a lively glimpse of the city’s trade. Give yourself time to leave the main routes and follow smaller canals.

  2. Day 2

    Lošinj, Croatia

    Lošinj lies in Croatia’s Kvarner Gulf, where pine-covered hills descend to clear Adriatic coves. Mali Lošinj, the island’s principal town, wraps around a sheltered harbor. Pastel façades recall its seafaring past, while the Museum of Apoxyomenos displays an ancient Greek athlete recovered nearby. Follow coastal paths to quiet bays, or take a boat trip into waters frequented by bottlenose dolphins.

  3. Day 3

    Trogir, Croatia

    Trogir rewards a slow walk. Its UNESCO-listed old town occupies a small island between the Croatian mainland and Čiovo, joined by bridges. Behind the waterfront, stone lanes lead to the Cathedral of St Lawrence. Its celebrated portal was carved by master Radovan in 1240. Climb the bell tower for rooftops and harbor views, then follow the promenade to Kamerlengo Fortress. This compact Dalmatian town makes history easy to explore on foot.

  4. Day 4

    Hvar Island Croatia, Croatia

    Hvar Town combines a handsome harbor with stone lanes and a lively island setting. From the waterfront, climb to St Stephen’s Square and its Renaissance cathedral. Continue uphill to the Spanish Fortress for a commanding view over town and Pakleni Islands. Water taxis link the harbor with the nearby islands, weather and schedules permitting. Choose a table along the port, or find a quieter lane above the square. In summer, book ahead; Hvar’s waterfront is among Croatia’s busiest.

  5. Day 5

    Kotor, Montenegro

    At the head of Montenegro’s Bay of Kotor, the old town sits beneath steep mountains. Enter through the Sea Gate and follow stone lanes to St Tryphon’s Cathedral. Venetian-era walls frame squares, churches, and cafés within a compact UNESCO-listed center. For a broader view, climb toward San Giovanni Fortress; the steps are demanding. Take water and allow time for the ascent, especially in summer heat. From the harbor, the bay’s changing light makes a memorable arrival and departure.

  6. Day 7

    Sarande, Albania

    At Sarandë, the Ionian Sea glitters; Corfu lies across the water, and Albania’s southern coast begins here. Palm-lined promenades, small beaches and seafood restaurants make the waterfront an easy place to settle. Then head south to Butrint, a UNESCO-listed archaeological site amid lagoons and woodland. Inland, the Blue Eye spring rewards a longer excursion with strikingly clear water. Look up to Lëkurësi Castle for broad views over town, sea and island.

  7. Day 8

    Katakolon, Greece

    Katakolon is a compact seaside port on the western Peloponnese, with cafés and shops lining its waterfront. Most visitors come for ancient Olympia, about 35 kilometres inland and readily reached by road. There, the sanctuary, archaeological museum and ancient stadium bring the story of the Olympic Games into focus. Back in Katakolon, allow time for a stroll along the harbour before returning to your ship.

  8. Day 10

    Milos Island, Greece

    Arrive at Adamas, Milos’s sheltered ferry port, and you step onto an island shaped by fire and sea. Its volcanic geology has carved pale cliffs, sea caves, and beaches across the coast. Visit Sarakiniko’s sculpted white rock, then climb to Plaka for island-wide views and a quiet evening. At Tripiti, visit the early Christian catacombs and ancient theater, near where the Venus de Milo was found in 1820.

  9. Day 11

    Andros Island Greece, Greece

    Step ashore at Gavrio, Andros’s working port, and discover a Cycladic island with an unusually green heart. Springs, streams and terraced hillsides set it apart from the sun-baked image of the Aegean. Walk sections of the Andros Route, a celebrated network of signposted trails linking villages, monasteries and coastal scenery. In Chora, neoclassical mansions and maritime museums reflect the island’s seafaring fortunes. Then choose a sheltered cove or linger over lunch in a waterfront taverna.

  10. Day 12

    Piraeus-Athens, Greece

    Piraeus is Athens’ working harbour, not a resort port—and that is its appeal. From here, the capital’s ancient landmarks are within reach, while the waterfront keeps its own busy, distinctly Greek character. Visit the Archaeological Museum of Piraeus, then linger over grilled fish in Mikrolimano, a small harbour lined with tavernas. Metro connections make central Athens straightforward. Or stay near the water and watch ferries depart for the islands.
