Cruise Description |
10 Night cruise sailing from Venice to Athens onboard Crystal Symphony.
A Mediterranean journey filled with a rich heritage, beginning at the famed end of the ancient Silk Route, Venice. Sail down the Adriatic with stops in Zadar, Hvar, Split, and Dubrovnik for a thorough immersion in Croatia and its wonderful blue waters. UNESCO listed Kotor as next, before heading for Greece to taste island life in Corfu, Argostoli, and Heraklion. End your voyage in the ancient city of Athens.
Highlights of this cruise:
Venice
One of the world`s most enchanting cities, Venice is comprised of more than 100 separate islands and a labyrinthine of canals laced together by a string of 400 intricate bridges. A whimsical stroll through the city leads to a hidden world of ornately decorated piazzas and a legacy of Baroque architecture. Admire the richness of St. Mark`s Basilica and the lavishness of the Palazzo Ducale.
Hvar
This small island located in the center of the Mediterranean is a nature-lover’s delight. The arrival of Croatians to Hvar in the Middle Ages turned this temperate island into the center of Croatian arts and literature. Today, Hvar offers stretches of beaches that melt into the azure waters of the Mediterranean, its limestone towns sparkling amid the fertile green hills, rocky terrain, and the surrounding sea of clear cobalt blue. The island’s climate is unmatched, and beauty, unforgettable.
Heraklion
Crete’s capital city is a charming mix of ancient fortresses and modern delights; serious business and waterfront cafés. Also called Iraklio, the city is home to the impressive Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Palace of Knossos and Turkish and Venetian fountains that dot the old squares. Its marketplace is one of the largest in the Mediterranean and filled with traditional treasures, like Cretan olive oil, local wines and honey.
Athens
Venture through Greece’s largest port city, Piraeus, as you make your way to the cradle of Western culture and the birthplace of democracy. Athens, among the world`s oldest cities with a history spanning 3,400 years, has long been the location of myth and muse, and its ancient heritage is still an incredible source of inspiration. Here, the Acropolis crowns the city as home to the Parthenon and other legendary temples and monuments.
