Description 9 Night Cruise sailing from Venice to Athens aboard Azamara Journey.

For those who crave a cross of off-the-beaten-path gems and iconic attractions, this voyage takes you from the Adriactic to the Aegean sea. With five countries to visit and two UNESCO World Heritage Sites to discover, your journey starts in Venice, where you’ll be swept away by the city’s romance and extravagant architecture before departing for Slovenia. During your late-night stay in Koper, experience the first UNESCO World Heritage site of your trip and tour one of Europe’s best-kept secrets—the city of Ljubljana.

Then, you’ll revel in the juxtaposition of Zadar, a place where cobblestone streets lead to contemporary buildings, and nature and technology are immaculately integrated. Your next UNESCO World Heritage site awaits you with a late stay in Dubrovnik (a city that’s a mecca for appreciators of the arts and architecture).

After a relaxing day and night at sea, prepare for a late night in Chania, an old city with a diverse blend of civilizations, with Green, Venetian, and Ottoman influences around every corner. Next, sail to the gem of the Aegean—Santorini. Stroll the bustling streets and volcanic beaches before finishing your day with a glass of Vinsanto and a postcard-worthy sunset.

A late night in Ephesus gives you ample time to explore before you get wrapped up in the entrancing energy of Mykonos. Finally, fulfill your coastal escapade in Athens. Considered the birthplace of Western civilization, this capital city is bursting with art, history, cuisine, and culture to explore.

Highlights of this cruise:

Venice
Experience Venice, one of the most captivating—and romantic—cities in the world. Tour the city’s cobblestone streets and overarching bridges, or take to the water and explore the canals on a water taxi or gondola. As you make your way through the city, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to shop, sample delicious Veneto wines, or people watch in Piazza San Marco.

Zadar
Old meets new in beautiful Zadar. Walk quaint cobblestone streets from a bygone era that give way to modern marvels of architecture and technology. Escape the city and explore two national parks—Krka and Plitvice—both teeming with natural beauty. Afterwards, sample Maraschino, a traditional liqueur made from marasca cherries and produced in Zadar distilleries since the 16th century.

Santorini
The capital, Fira, clings to the rim of the caldera 900 feet above the sea. Take the cable car, or giddy up on a donkey to climb the 588 steps to the top. Hike to nearby Oia, a quintessential Greek village. Head south to the 3,500-year-old Minoan town Akrotiri. Often called Greece’s answer to Pompeii, the well-preserved ruins provide a glimpse into Santorini’s storied (and explosive) past.

Athens
Start your journey in Piraeus with an archaeological walk past landmarks like the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Ancient Agora, and of course, the Acropolis. Afterwards, head to the Central Market for a feast of fresh fruit and veggies, nuts, olives, and Grecian cheese. Finally, check out a local taverna where you can rub elbows with the locals well into the wee hours of the night.
