VIEW THE JOURNEY
Athens, Greece to Barcelona
Discover Italy and Greece at their best, when towns and beaches are less crowded and the weather is just right for strolling historic ruins and admiring Greece’s 5,000-plus wildflowers. Feast your eyes on the smooth bone-white columns of Athens’ Parthenon, and the honeycombed spires of Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia. Inhale the heady aroma of wild rosemary and thyme mingled with fresh-baked guttiau bread in Cagliari, and the citrus tang of kumquat liqueur in Corfu. In Messina, watch as the bell tower clock’s bronze characters come to life, announcing noon with a lion’s fierce roar and a rooster’s loud crow. Spot bright pink flamingos stilt-walking the white salt flats in Trapani. Enjoy the sweet sound of Argostoli’s street musicians playing kantades on mandolins. And discover the tranquility of Delphi, where oracles channeled the prophecies of Apollo to kings and commoners. On this voyage you’ll visit ports reserved for small ships like Itea, dock closer to key attractions than larger ships can in Trapani and Barcelona, and cross the Corinth Canal, too narrow for most modern ships but just wide enough for your small ship.

VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 1: Athens, Greece
With 3,000 years of history, you can’t turn around in Athens without encountering the past. The Acropolis, a UNESCO site, the Plaka, and the Acropolis Museum are must-sees. But leave time if you can to climb Pnyx Hill for photos of the Parthenon at sunset, to buy your own set of Greek komboloi (worry beads), and to explore the metro stations that serve as mini-museums for the relics that are constantly being unearthed. 
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 2: Corinth Canal
You’ll want to be on deck today as we transit the narrow Corinth Canal with other private yachts and Greek mail steamers. It’s a shortcut reserved for petite ships like ours, and as we cruise between the narrow limestone walls we are the envy of all the ancient Romans who once portaged their ships along this very route before there was a canal.
 
Canal transit time and duration is subject to change based on traffic and canal authorities.

Day 2: Delphi
Before there were fortune cookies there was the oracle of Delphi, dating back to 1400 B.C. The oracle gave cryptic guidance to the leaders of the day and was so highly respected that Delphi, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, became known as the center of the world. An optional tour lets you go exploring, from the Temple of Apollo to the Delphi Archaeological Museum, which contains some of the finest works of art in Greece. 
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 3: Corfu
One of the most beautiful and popular islands, located on the Ionian Sea, Corfu has wonderful beaches and small villages throughout the island. Take in the Venetian influence at the two fortresses located in Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 4: Argostoli
The active harbor of Argostoli features a long promenade offering excellent opportunities to see the main attraction here – the caretta-caretta turtles who feed at the nearby lagoon or around the fishing boats who toss their unwanted catch to them. There is a variety of restaurants and cafes to try the delicious Kephalonian meat pie.
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 5: Messina (Taormina)
The cobblestone streets of Messina, Sicily, are the perfect launching point for an optional visit to nearby Taormina. Stroll along flower-filled streets in search of a delightful lunch or an artist’s palette of colorful gelati. The ancient Greek Theater is an ideal place to sit back and admire shimmering waters below and Mount Etna, languidly smoking in the distance.
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 6: Trapani
At once ancient and contemporary, Trapani is a city of contrasts. From the salt marshes that produce much of the Mediterranean’s signature colored salts, to the intricate mosaics of Mozia and the famous wines of Marsala, to the best view in all of Sicily from the medieval hill town of Erice where the colorful gardens are rivaled only by the cannolis for pure sensory delight. The line of 17th century windmills, still hard at work in ancient Phoenician salt marshes beckons you to return to Trapani again and again. 
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 7: Cagliari
Cagliari is known for Il Castello, a hilltop medieval walled quarter majestically watching over the town. Beautiful Poetto Beach sits on the edge of town with sparkling blue waters and lively activity. Other sites to see include the 13th century Cathedral di Santa Maria, the Torre Dell’Elefante and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari with its displays of bronze objects, Roman ceramics and artifacts from the Nuragic age to the Byzantine era.
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 9: Barcelona
The old meets the new in this sunny Catalan metropolis, where narrow alleyways contrast with grand boulevards, trendy cuisine meets homemade tapas, and everywhere you’re greeted by the warm, welcoming smiles of the fashionable locals. Don’t miss UNESCO sites like the mind-boggling architecture of Antoni Gaudí or La Sagrada Familia Cathedral, with its eight decorative spires soaring hundreds of feet into the sky.

"Bite into flaky, savory, phyllo-wrapped minced lamb with garlic served at a sidewalk eatery in Argostoli. Point your way through a mouthwatering order of arancini—a Sicilian delight consisting of crisp, deep fried rice balls stuffed with beef, pork and local cheeses. Then conclude an enchanting Barcelonan paella supper with the creamy citrus and cinnamon decadence of Creama Catalana"
The Story
Beneath the chic beaches and trendy cafés, modern Mediterranean crossings trace Europe’s evolution of art, architecture, and history. Set sail amid the vibrant hues of Bronze Age Minoan frescos in the east, transition to lifelike Italian Renaissance marble sculptures, and finish amid the colors, curvatures and complexities of Barcelona’s urban artwork embodying Catalan’s flamboyant Modernisme movement. Venture from weathered temples and vistas atop Greece, to imposing 16th century Sicilian watchtowers and the contemporary scaffoldings surrounding Barcelona’s ornate and incomplete Sagrada Família. Chart early Greek triremes trade routes to Egypt and Rome, and imagine hoisting sails 2,000 years later in the company of Spanish and Portuguese explorers bound for rumored continents.

Mediterranean countries share a similar climate and crops—grapes, figs, almonds, olives, lemons, tomatoes, and mandarins—but a millennia of trade and outside influences provide delightfully diverse cuisines. Bite into flaky, savory, phyllo-wrapped minced lamb with garlic served at a sidewalk eatery in Argostoli. Point your way through a mouthwatering order of arancini—a Sicilian delight consisting of crisp, deep fried rice balls stuffed with beef, pork and local cheeses.

Insider Tips:
  • Take in the big picture of the expansive Delphi ruins complex from the top. A brief, 20-minute walk along a little known but easy-to-find trail leads to picture-perfect views at the top of the ruins.
  • A Kephalonia harbor stroll connects with the longest seaside stone bridge in the world. The De Bosset Bridge was built in 1813 across the bay of Argostoli to improve local infrastructure. The pedestrian bridge stretches a little less than half a mile and offers superb waterfront views.
  • Tourists visit Cagliari for the hallmark Sardinian Fregula, a couscous-like seafood pasta featuring clams and fish eggs, but don’t miss out on the delicious simplicity of local pasta topped with shredded Pecorino, a delightfully rich and regional cheese made from sheep’s milk.
  • Plan Italian visits around riposo—an important afternoon break for small businesses. From 1:00 PM until at least 4:00 or 5:00 shop owners close for family meals and breaks. Coffee shops often remain open during these hours.
  • Barcelona’s oldest buildings and coziest tapas bars are in the Barri Gothic, or Gòtic Quarter—easily accessed from the touristy La Ramblas along the picturesque Carrer Ferràn, a street decorated with colorful shops, ornate, wrought-iron balconies, and high-arched 1800s architecture.
