    The highlights of this cruise

    Santorini and wine
    The white Assyrtiko grape variety is one of the finest in the entire Mediterranean. At a tasting at the Boutari winery**, you will be able to discover what makes wine from Santorini so special. Enjoy fine wines and listen to some interesting information about the origins of the island of Santorini.
    Visit a picture-postcard setting
    Picturesque Oia sits right on the crater rim on Santorini. The amazing labyrinth of steps and narrow streets not only offers some wonderful spots to enjoy the sunset, but also rustic eateries that will entice you with unforgettable panoramic views.
    A bird’s-eye view
    Climb aboard, take off and soak up the amazing views as the helicopter** takes you from Nauplia across the idyllic landscape of the Argolis region. Enjoy spectacular views over parts of the Peloponnese peninsula and the ancient ruins of Mycenae from way up in the sky. The highlight of the scenic flight is the Corinth Canal, which is particularly impressive from a bird’s-eye perspective.
    Spectacular landscapes
    On Sicily, bizarre lava formations and surreal landscapes surround the gigantic Mount Etna, which rises to a height of over 3,000 m (9,843 ft). Immerse yourself in the unique world around Europe’s second-tallest volcano on a trekking tour*. Join an experienced volcanologist for an unforgettable day on the ‘roof of the Mediterranean’.
    Buon appetito!
    Enjoy an authentic introduction to the famous Sicilian cuisine** with its pasta, antipasti and fish dishes! The experience starts with a trip to the market, where you will find out everything you need to know about the local products on a tour lasting around an hour. You will then prepare and enjoy some of the delicacies at the home of a passionate cook. Delizioso!
    Unforgettable courses
    Costa Navarino** in Pylos will quicken the pulse of all lovers of nature and golf. Two courses beckon with the prospect of unforgettable rounds: the 18-hole Dunes Course on the coast was designed by a team that included Bernhard Langer and the 18-hole Bay Course offers a panoramic view of the sea and mountains. An absolute golf highlight with a magnificent setting and great play!

    The Aegean is a dream come true in shades of blue and white: Greece’s national colours aren’t only reflected in the spectacular interplay between the sky and the sea; they’re also found in the typical dome-roofed houses on the rocky coastline – from MYKONOS, where the long lay time will allow you to soak up the Mediterranean atmosphere until midnight, to the stunning SANTORINI to Nauplia in the legendary PELOPONNESE. You will also be able to enjoy VALLETTA late into the evening. Its fortified walls conceal a cosmopolitan city with elegant gardens and a vibrant atmosphere. Another port of call that exudes inimitable charm is SICILY, where a jeep ride to Mount Etna* and a day spent discovering the real Palermo will round off your Mediterranean cruise perfectly.
