Piraeus is your gateway to the won-ders of Athens, including Constitu-tion Square, the Acropolis, Hadri-an’s Arch, the Olympic Stadium, and more. The remains of ancient Athens constitute one of the bright-est jewels of the Mediterranean– a city that has stood for more than 25 centuries. Ancient Athens was a powerful city-state. A center for the arts, learning, and philosophy, Ath-ens was the home of Plato’s Acad-emy and Aristotle’s Lyceum.

Wednesday, June 1 – Naples, Italy – Day Open

School children everywhere know the story of Pompeii and the erup-tion of Mt. Vesuvius that destroyed it. In real life, Pompeii is even more impressive; meticulous ex-cavation has bared the soul of a city frozen in time since 79 AD. Perfectly preserved, you’ll gain an insight into the lives of the ancient Romans as you discover baths, theaters, temples, markets, and the huge forum. For a breath of fresh air, sail across the bay to the fl owery Isle of Capri or visit the boutiques of Sorrento.

Sunday, June 5 – Santorini, Greece – Day Open

The harbor on this island was cre-ated by a volcano in 1,500 BC and the effect is still explosive; 1,000 foot-high cliffs rise from sea level and dazzling white houses cling to the cliffs. Santorini offers a wealth of scenery. Visit the Mountain of Prophet Elias 2,000 feet above sea level offering panoramic views of the island. From the caldera view-point, you can see how Santorini’s three islands form a crater rim left by a massive eruption in 1,600 BC. Travel to Kamari fi shing village, once the ancient port of Thera.

Thursday, June 2 – Valletta, Malta – Afternoon Open

Founded in 1565, the tiny capital of Valletta, Malta is a piece of liv-ing history. With superbly sunny weather, expansive beaches, a thriving nightlife and 7,000 years of intriguing history, there is a great deal to see. This fortifi ed city overlooks the Mediterranean Sea and features sights like the spec-tacular Co-Cathedral of St John whose intricately carved stone vaults and famed painting by Car-avaggio exemplify the city’s status as a UNESCO world heritage site.

Monday, June 6 – Rhodes, Greece – Day Open

The Greek island of Rhodes shines green and white in the blue of the eastern Aegean. Rhodes is strewn with small towns along its shores, notable among them is Lindos with its stunning Acropolis. The city of Rhodes is located at the northeast-ern tip of the island and was one of the most glorious cities of antiq-uity. The Colossus of Rhodes stood more than 100 feet high at the edge of the harbor and was considered one of the seven wonders of the ancient world before an earthquake toppled it in 226 B.C.

Tuesday, June 7 – Ephesus (Kusadasi), Turkey – Day Open

A visit to Ephesus is a visit to one of the best preserved ancient cities in the world. Ephesus is home to the one remaining pillar from the Tem-ple of Artemis, an Ancient Wonder of the World. Marble streets lead past magnifi cent ruins of temples and baths and the Celsus Library. Don’t miss the amphitheater where St. Paul preached to the Ephesians. Explore the Odeion, where the advi-sory council held its meetings, the Baths, the Grand Theater of Ephe-sus, as well as many other columns, monuments, and ruins.

Wednesday June 8 – Mykonos, Greece – Day Open

Mykonos Town (Chora) is a stun-ningly picturesque Cycladic town with a maze of tiny streets and whitewashed steps, lanes, hous-es, and churches gathered around its harbour in the middle of a wide bay. It is one of the most cosmo-politan towns of the Aegean. Al-though the streets are lined with lit-tle shops, boutiques, art galleries, cafes, stylish bars and restaurants, Mykonos Town has not completely lost its identity as its traditional Cy-cladic architectural style and char-acter has remained.

Thursday, June 9 – Chania (Souda) Crete, Greece – Day Open

Like many ports in this part of the world, archeological ruins dating back to antiquity are found every-where. There are also hundreds of gorges around the island and over 1,500 land and sea caves, includ-ing Elefantos, noted for its remark-able white and red stalactites.

Friday, June 10 – At Sea

Saturday, June 11–10 – Venice – Overnight

The “City of Light” stretches across an archipelago of 122 islands in the Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea. Connected by 400 bridges, 150 canals serve the func-tion of roads. Venice is Europe’s largest urban car-free area. While gondolas are reserved for special ceremonies, most Venetians now travel by motorized waterbuses (“vaporetti”). St. Mark’s Square is Venice’s heart with palatial arcades and charming cafés. Tour the ex-quisite Doge’s Palace, once home to the dukes of Venice.

Sunday, June 12 – Venice, Italy
