Settled over 3,500 years ago, Athens is like a mythological crossroads of the past and present, where modern buildings share the skyline with spectacular ruins like the Parthenon. To see a veritable “greatest hits” line-up, make your way to Vasilissis Amalias Street for the archaeological walk. Winding through the heart of the ancient city, the route leads to landmarks like the Temple of Oly... ### Day 2: Olympia (Katakolon), Greece **Arrives:** 10:30 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM This Greek seaside town is the gateway to the ruins of Olympia, where the ancient games began in 776 BC, and continued for over 1000 years, until they were outlawed as a pagan festival, after Rome officially adopted Christianity as the only legitimate imperial religion. The complex is made up of temples, workshops, and the training structures that have given us the word we still use today to describe such facilities – gymnasium. The games did not recommence until 1896, but their ancient roots ... ### Day 3: Siracusa, Sicily **Arrives:** 01:30 PM · **Departs:** 10:00 PM Siracusa is known for the archaeological and historical sights that define its grand past, as one of the major powers of the Mediterranean world in the 5th century BC.

Over time it was ruled by a variety of empires, all of which contributed to the look and culture of the islands. Valetta is living museum of baroque architecture, constructed by the Knights of St. John five centuries ago.

The Middle Ages is the era most evident in its old town, now a pedestrian zone. Aging palaces, some imposing and others in various stages of decay, cluster along a peninsula stretching into the bay. Worthy of note is the ominously named Chiesa del Purgatorio, home to wooden statues known as Misteri, that are par... ### Day 6: La Goulette **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM ### Day 7: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 8: Cartagena, Spain **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 02:00 PM Strategically located along historic sailing routes, Cartagena has been colonized by a veritable who’s who of Mediterranean superpowers over the millennia, resulting in a rich and multi-layered cultural heritage, and a history both glorious and turbulent.

The 13th century Old Cathedral stands on the remains of a Roman Theater just discovered in 1987. More recent architectur... ### Day 9: Malaga **Arrives:** 06:30 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Málaga is the lively capital of the Costa del Sol, famed for its beaches and mild climate, and gateway to Andalusia, with its Moorish architectural heritage.
