On this 7 nights Ancient Treasures cruise onboard the Costa Serena, prepare to be dazzled by the ancient history of Greece and Turkey on this fabulous itinerary... Revel in the romance of Venice with its Renaissance architecture, classical squares, palaces and canals. Enjoy a casual stroll around the old town of Bari in southern Italy and in Greece marvel at the ancient ruins of Olympia at the foot of Mount Kronos, a tour offered from the fishing village of Katakolon.

 

From Izmir, visit one of the most important archaeological sites in the whole world of Turkey and perhaps the entire ancient world. During your tour of the city, you will discover the unforgettable riches of Ephesus, an ancient capital of Asia Minor and principal Mediterranean port. A bridge between Asia and Europe, Istanbul still has the atmosphere and mystery of the age of the Sultans. It might be the beauty of the Blue Mosque or the 86-karat splendour of the Spoonmaker's Diamond in the Topkapi Palace that make this city unique, but it is also pleasant to stroll around the streets of the Grand Bazaar and take in the aromas of the colourful Spice Bazaar.

 

Discover the sparkling Croatian jewel of Debrovnik, known as the Pearl of the Adriatic, and restored to its former splendour with a beautiful wailed old town dating from the 13th century, along with ornate palaces and historic chapels.
