10 Day Adriatic Sea Itinerary, incl. Athens and Dubrovnik
The 10-day cruise optimizes time in Croatian and Greek ports with strategic morning arrivals and afternoon departures, allowing maximum sightseeing at each stop.
- Days 1-2
Athens
Book afternoon flights to avoid morning traffic congestion. You'll get hotel pickup and transfer on arrival. The next day features a half-day Acropolis tour. Get there by 8 AM to avoid crowds and heat. Bring a water bottle since shade is limited and wear shoes with good grip on those slippery marble steps.
- Days 3-4
Greek Islands
Head to Piraeus port 2 hours before the 1 PM departure. You'll visit Kefalonia first, where you can tour the stunning Melissani Cave. Visit between 11 AM-1 PM to see sunlight streaming onto the underground lake. Bring water shoes for the slick cave surfaces.
- Days 5-6
Croatia & Montenegro
Get to Dubrovnik's city walls when they open at 8 AM to beat the cruise crowds. You'll need about 2 hours to walk the full circuit. In Kotor, you can climb 1,350 steps to the fortress. Go early morning or late afternoon to skip the midday heat. Not up for the full climb? The best bay views are halfway up.
- Days 7-8
Italy & Corfu
Bari's old town is perfect for walking but quite maze-like. An offline map will help you navigate. Stop by Via Arco Basso to watch local women making orecchiette pasta in their doorways. In Corfu, explore the old town early or during lunch when most tourists head back to their ships.
- Days 9-10
Olympia & Athens
From Katakolon, take a 30-minute drive to ancient Olympia. Start at the archaeological site at 8 AM before it heats up, then visit the museum. The cruise returns to Athens early on day 10. Schedule flights after 11 AM to allow time for departure procedures.
8 Day Mediterranean Cruise Itinerary, incl. Athens and Dubrovnik
The luxurious Emerald Azzurra sails for 8 days through Greece and Croatia, visiting 10 destinations including Athens, Corfu, and Dubrovnik. Passengers enjoy daily guided excursions and 20 included meals featuring regional flavors during 7 nights at sea.
- Day 1
Athens, Greece
Get to Athens before 6 PM to board at Piraeus port. If you book a morning flight you might have time to see the Acropolis first. The taxi ride from the airport to the port takes about 45 minutes but plan for longer during rush hour.
- Day 2
Corinth Canal & Delphi
Start with a morning cruise through the Corinth Canal which is just 21.4 meters wide. In the afternoon you'll reach Itea port to visit ancient Delphi. The site has lots of uphill walking on rough ground so bring good shoes and water especially if you're visiting in summer. Try to see the Treasury of the Athenians early before it gets too hot.
- Day 3
Lefkada
This island is often called Greece's Caribbean because of its bright blue waters. Check out the 14th-century Castle of Agia Mavra in the morning when the light is perfect for photos. Lefkada is special because it connects to mainland Greece by a road. Head to Porto Katsiki beach later in the day when it's less busy.
- Days 4-5
Parga & Corfu
Take a 20-minute walk up to Parga's Venetian castle for great views across the bay. Go early to beat the heat. You'll spend the night in Corfu where you can explore the UNESCO Old Town. Start at Spianada Square and wander the winding streets.
- Day 6
Sarande, Albania
Leave Corfu early to visit Butrint a UNESCO site. Bring water and comfortable shoes as you'll be walking on uneven ground. Stop at the ancient amphitheater to test out its amazing acoustics.
- Day 7
Kotor & Dubrovnik
Spend your morning in Kotor's old town. If you're up for it climb the 1,350 steps on the city walls for incredible views. A recent visitor said: "Start the wall climb before 9 AM - it gets very hot and crowded later. Bring water and wear proper shoes as steps can be slippery." You'll arrive in Dubrovnik in the evening.
- Day 8
Dubrovnik
Leave the ship after breakfast. Book flights after 11 AM to have enough time for airport transfer and check-in. The port is about 30 minutes from the airport.
8 Days in Adriatic Sea, incl. Venice and Athens
Venice marks the starting point of this 8-day adventure through Croatia to Greece. The MS Caledonian Sky provides 7 nights of comfort while sailing past Dalmatian islands, ancient ruins, and through the Corinth Canal.
- Day 1
Venice, Italy
Plan to arrive by early afternoon to complete embarkation at the Maritima Terminal. You can take a water taxi or arranged transfer from Marco Polo Airport, which takes 30-40 minutes depending on traffic conditions.
- Day 2
Šibenik & Krka National Park, Croatia
Your first Croatian stop brings you to Krka National Park. Pack water shoes for walking the wooden paths around Skradinski Buk waterfall. Visit early to avoid crowds and get great waterfall photos. The paths can get slippery, so use the railings and stay alert.
- Day 3
Korčula & Mljet, Croatia
Explore two Croatian islands today. Korčula's Old Town features unique herringbone streets that block strong winds while catching sea breezes. Mljet offers a quieter experience. The 9km lake route in Mljet National Park works well with an e-bike rental if you're comfortable on two wheels.
- Day 4
Dubrovnik, Croatia
Take advantage of a full day in Dubrovnik. Start with a morning city walls tour before it gets too hot. The ship stays until evening, so save your Old Town dinner plans for when the crowds thin. Pro tip: The Pile Gate entrance usually has the shortest lines for wall access.
- Day 5
Kotor, Montenegro
Get up early for amazing fjord views sailing into Kotor Bay at 7 AM. Planning to climb the 1,350 steps to the fortress? Start early and bring water. The 45-minute climb rewards you with incredible bay views at the top.
- Day 6
Otranto, Italy
This small Italian port has a compact historic center perfect for morning exploration. Taking the optional Lecce tour? Plan for 45 minutes each way. The afternoon sail toward Greece shows off beautiful Italian coastal views.
- Day 7
Delphi & Corinth Canal, Greece
The Delphi trip starts early with a 30-minute drive from Itea port on winding roads. Bring good walking shoes for the uneven ancient pathways. The real highlight comes later when your ship squeezes through the 21.3-meter-wide Corinth Canal. Find a good spot on deck for this unique experience.
- Day 8
Athens, Greece
Your cruise ends at Piraeus port. Book afternoon flights if leaving the same day - morning traffic to Athens International can be heavy, especially in peak season.
