The city of Chania is comprised of two sections, the old town... ### Day 4: Mykonos, Greece **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM The quintessential Greek island of Mykonos is marked by whitewashed houses, domed churches, imposing windmills, and a labyrinth of winding streets designed to disorient pirates. Everywhere there is a dash of bright, bold blue - doors, shutters and window frames, sea and sky. The harbor bustles with colorful fishing boats, vendors selling fish and locals gathered with visitors in the casual seaside cafes. The port even comes with two beloved mascots, the pelicans Petros and Irini. ### Day 5: Cesme **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM A popular holiday and resort destination, Cesme is located on a promontory on the tip of a peninsula that carries the same name.

The site is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. ### Day 10: Izmir, Turkey **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM The magnificent Aegean coast features no shortage of appealing ports of call, and Izmir is a fine example thereof.

Sail and fishing boats bob and sway in the ... ### Day 21: Koper, Slovenia **Arrives:** 09:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM Located on the tip of Istria, Slovenia's main port was an island until the 19th century, but local history goes back much further.
