Sail along the Dalmatian coast from Athens to Venice on this magical 8-day cruise on board Le Lyrial. Visit Croatian destinations on your journey, including Dubrovnik, Mljet, Korcula, and Trogir. Discover Mediterranean and Adriatic wonders: a harmonious palette of greens and blue, the azure coastline bathes the coastal towns in a gentle and subtle golden light when the sun sinks behind the ramparts of the sleepy cities.

Sunbathe and swim at the beautiful Nagagio Beach on the coast of Zakynthos
Explore picturesque fishing towns and get a sense of life lived in the past
Visit Dubrovnik, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and preserved medieval city
Discover mythical wonders of the Mediterrean and Adriatic
Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
Arrive in Athens and transfer to the pier to embark Le Lyrial from 4:00PM to 5:00PM. The ship passes through the Corinth Canal, the narrow waterway that separates the Greek mainland from the Peloponnese.
On the island of Paxos, explore the picturesque fishing town of Gaios, where the old church of Agia Triada surprises you with an impressive collection of Byzantine icons and where a small folklore museum gives a sense of life on the island as it has been lived across the centuries. A driving tour inland stops at the villages of Lakka and Magazia, where you visit a working olive press and learn about traditional methods of olive oil production.
Sail the deep, fjord-like Bay of Kotor, located at the head of the bay beneath towering mountains.
Set on a rocky peninsula jutting into the Adriatic Sea, Dubrovnik is one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval cities and a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city contains within its ramparts the Rector’s Palace; the Franciscan Monastery, which houses a 13th-century pharmacy (the oldest in Europe); and the baroque Cathedral, with works by Renaissance painters Titian and Andrea del Sarto.
This morning explore the exceptionally scenic Mljet Island, which local legend identifies with Calypso and Odysseus’s seven year dalliance. Explore Mljet National Park and visit the Islet of St. Mary with its Benedictine Monastery from the 12th century. Over lunch sail to Korcula Island where, steps away from the ship, stands the medieval city with its walls and guard towers still intact. Visit St. Mark’s Cathedral and its Treasury, the Bishop’s Palace, the Church of All Saints, the Icon Museum, and Marco Polo’s home. Continue by bus to the quaint old village of Lumbarda to visit the Milina-Bire Winery for a tasting of local specialties and wine.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!

The pre-planning and execution of the plan was excellent. They were even able to help get glasses returned when a member or our party left them in a hotel.
