Day 1: Athens, Greece | Embark

Upon your arrival in Athens, you’ll board your spectacular super yacht, Emerald Azzurra, to commence your yacht cruise.

Day 2: Ermoupolis, Nisos Syros, Greece

The capital of the Aegean island of Syros, Ermoupolis is a stunning town. Architectural splendour is a striking reminder of a brilliant past, as a neo-classical influence combines with that of Ancient Greece and western Europe.

Day 3: Volos, Greece

Built near the site of ancient Iolcos, Volos is situated at the foot of Mount Pelion.

Day 4: Bosporus | Istanbul, Turkey

Cruise the Bosporus narrow and cross into Turkey.

Day 5: Istanbul, Turkey

Turkey’s economic, cultural and historic centre, Istanbul straddles Europe and Asia, something evident from the wonderful east-meets-west vibe. Meet open-minded locals as you immerse yourself in their light-hearted spirit, learn about its cultural heritage from architectural masterpieces and enjoy strong culinary diversity.

Day 6: Canakkale, Turkey

In the Marmara region of northwestern Turkey, the Çanakkale Province is a destination of all-round intrigue. From the historic battlefields of Troy and Gallipoli, to the serenity of beautiful beaches, unique local food and wineries. 

Day 7: Kusadasi, Turkey

This beach resort town on Turkey’s west coast dates back to 3000 BC and is now a busy cruise port, with a renowned nightlife. Home to a small, Byzantine castle, the Grand Bazaar selling the wares of numerous merchants and much in the way of monuments to the past.

Day 8: Rhodes, Greece

The capital of the Dodecanese Islands, Rhodes seemingly has it all. Lush green valleys, golden beaches and archaeological sites. Known as the Island of the Knights, the medieval city is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Day 9: Antalya, Turkey

The jewel of the Turkish Riviera, this resort city is known as the pearl city of the Mediterranean, with rich history, natural beauty and an infectious local lifestyle.

Day 10: Paphos, Greece
