Next is Saranda, known as the capital of the Albanian Riviera, a lively coastal town rich in pebble beaches and historic monuments. After departing Albania, the cruise heads to Greece, starting with the island of Corfu, famous for its rich artistic heritage and enchanting landscapes. Beyond the city tour, guests can embark on a 4×4 adventure in the countryside of Corfu (additional expense) via the DiscoverMORE program.
The exploration of Greece continues with Párga, noted for its pristine beaches and historical monuments. The Párga Castle, overlooking the town, dates back to the 11th century. Here, there’s an option to take a DiscoverMORE adventure that includes a guided tour of the monasteries of Meteora with a Greek lunch (additional costs).
The journey progresses to Cefalonia, the largest of the Ionian Islands and possibly the most beautiful, followed by a visit to Delphi, the archaeological site once considered the center of the world by the ancient Greeks. The Corinth Canal, constructed in the 19th century, connects the Ionian Sea with the Aegean Sea. The voyage concludes in Athens, the captivating capital of Greece.
