Itinerary

Trace the most prosperous ancient world sea routes between Rome and Athens during this 17-day exploration of Italy, Croatia, Montenegro and Greece. Stroll beneath shady olive trees and between rustling vineyard rows prior to sampling tart and potent limoncello inside a rustic farmhouse above Sorrento. Glide across shimmering electric-blue reflections inside the famed Blue Grotto sea cave near Giardini Naxos. Serve up an authentic 3-course Montenegro meal under the guidance of a Kotor chef, then explore venerable Old Town towers and walls in twilight shadows during an overnight stay. Sip handcrafted Croatian wines in a vineyard outside Dubrovnik or soar skyward on a cable car ride to coastal views high above Old Town's crenelated medieval walls. Ride above waves on a swift hydrofoil bound from Corfu, Greece to Sarande, Albania and delve into Greco-Roman artifacts and Butrint ruins. Watch well-worn Monemvasia watermills grind grain prior to kneading your fresh flour and baking it into hearty, Greek-style bread.
