Itinerary
The seven-night cruise onboard the 198-passenger La Belle de l’Adriatique sails round-trip from Athens with calls in Gythion, Katakolon and Igoumenitsa. All excursions are included, such as visits to The Acropolis, UNESCO World Heritage Site Mystras – the centre of Byzantine power in the 13th century – and the ancient city of Sparta. Also included are trips to Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games, Meteora, where dozens of monasteries built on rock formations can be seen, and Poseidon’s temple at Cape Sounion.
Onboard, passengers will continue immersion into local culture with a Greek lunch on the sun deck accompanied by traditional Bouzouki music, as well as an evening of Greek folklore.
