Ports of Call
• Civitavecchia (ROME): Once the center of the ancient world from which emperors ruled, Rome is
still a cultural mecca, with sites that include the Colosseum and the Sistine Chapel.
• Santorini: Among the whitewashed houses accented by sea-blue roofs, you find historic landmarks
like the ancient city of Akrotiri, buried under a thick blanket of volcanic ash over 3,600 years ago.
• Mykonos: Bustling with activity throughout the day, Mykonos is known for its immaculately
whitewashed villages sprinkled with blue and jade green rooftops and its alluring beaches.
• Istanbul: Stroll thru the Grand Bazaar, explore the famous Blue Mosque or wander through the
majestic Topkapi Palace, with its gardens, libraries and 400 room harem.
• Kusadasi: Once the capital of Asia Minor this coastal town is now an archeologist’s dream, with
sites that include the Great Theater, the Temple of Hadrian, and the Temple of Artemis, one of the
Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
• Piraeus (Athens): Once home to the world’s most powerful and civilized empires, Athens is now
the world’s foremost archeological playground. The towering columns of the Parthenon still stand in
homage to the virgin goddess Athena.
• Naples/Capri: From Naples, you can embark on a trip to the ruins of Pompeii or just explore
locally, working up an appetite for one of the city’s greatest contributions to western divination – pizza.
