Day 1 Rome / Civitavecchia, Italy / Embark
Arrive in Rome and transfer to Civitavecchia, the deepwater port of Rome, to embark Corinthian II.
Day 2 Agropoli / Paestum
From Agropoli, built on a headland facing the sea, drive to Paestum, founded by Greeks in the 6th century B.C. Situated on an alluvial river plain, Paestum is one of Italy’s most important archaeological sites, containing Greek Doric temples that are among the best-preserved ancient buildings existing today.
Day 3 Taormina, Sicily
Taormina, a small town on the east coast of the island of Sicily, offers stunning views out to sea and the cone of Mount Etna, the largest active volcano in Europe. An 8th-century B.C. Greek colony prospered here throughout the Hellenistic and Roman periods. Today, this area draws visitors to its pristine, warm-watered beaches. Visit the Greek theater, which offers dramatic views of Etna and the Sicilian coastline, and amble among Taormina’s quaint streets and gardens.
Day 4 Monopoli & the Trulli Villages
From the fishing port town of Monopoli, located on Puglia’s Adriatic Sea shore, drive to Alberobello, the most characteristic of the trulli villages, found only in this part of Italy. The town’s streets are lined with trulli, curious white-washed dwellings of remote origin, built without mortar with conical roofs. Explore this extraordinary place and then return to Monopoli, which is dominated by its polygonal 16th-century castle.
Day 5 Kotor, Montenegro
Be on deck as Corinthian II navigates the fjord-like Bay of Kotor, flanked by soaring mountains. Disembark in Kotor, whose lovely palaces and churches reveal the former Venetian domination, for a walking tour.
Day 6 Dubrovnik, Croatia
Aptly referred to as the “Pearl of the Adriatic”, Dubrovnik’s gleaming marble streets, historic buildings, and delightful cafés are bathed in dazzling light. Visit the Franciscan Monastery, Dominican Monastery, and the Baroque Cathedral, containing works by Titian and Andrea del Sarto. Also view the wonderful courtyard of the Rector’s Palace and the Cathedral of Our Lady, known for its rich treasury.
Day 7 Korcula
Approaching Korcula, take in its skyline of white towers and green hills. Note the medieval town’s layout: western streets run straight to funnel refreshing maestral breezes; eastern streets slightly curve to minimize bura winds. See St. Mark’s Cathedral’s Venetian imprint and visit the Cathedral Treasury, Bishop’s Palace, Church of All Saints, and Icon Museum.
Day 8 Split, Croatia
Originally a Greco-Illyrian settlement called Aspalathos, Split is an ancient city centered around the formidable Palace of Diocletian. In the morning, explore the extensive structure, which contains within its walls Split’s medieval town, making it the only palace that has been continuously inhabited since Roman times. Spend the afternoon at leisure to discover the medieval part of Split on your own. Alternatively, take an excursion to Trogir, one of Croatia’s best preserved old towns.
Day 9 Piran, Slovenia
Built on a narrow peninsula that projects into the sea, Slovenia’s Piran is one of the most delightful towns of the Adriatic. Possessed by Venice in 1283, Piran is rich in well-preserved Venetian-inspired architecture, its arched alleyways lined with exquisite homes, palaces, and churches. Highlights of our tour of Piran include the spacious marble-surfaced Tartini Square flanked by historic buildings; the temple-like Church of St. George, originally built in the 14th century; and the Sergej Masera Maritime Museum, housed in the elegant Gabrielli Palace. There will be free time to explore Piran’s maze of streets.
Day 10 Venice, Italy / Disembark
Disembark in Venice and transfer to the airport for your independent return flights home.
