Hellenic-Dalmatian Tapestry from Istanbul to Trieste with Stay, 6 May 2028 (12 nights)

A city where East meets West, from the majestic Hagia Sophia to the bustling Grand Bazaar.

Bozcaada, historically known as Tenedos, is a serene Turkish island in the Aegean Sea that perfectly blends Greek and Turkish heritage. Characterized by its iconic Genoese castle guarding the harbour, the island is famous for its rolling vineyards, wind-swept hills, and cobblestone streets lined with colourful houses and blooming bougainvillaea. Visitors are drawn to its relaxed pace of life, where days are spent lounging on the crystal-clear sands of Ayazma Beach and evenings are dedicated to tasting local wines and fresh seafood in the charming "Greek district." With its historic windmills and sun-drenched landscapes, the island remains a tranquil escape that feels worlds away from the mainland.

The second largest city in Greece, Thessaloniki is a year-round destination with a rich cultural heritage, delicious food and beautiful scenery. For those that want to discover more about this vibrant city, there are ancient archaeological sites, including the White Tower and the Rotunda, alongside quaint independent shops and restaurants that line the streets.

The Greek island of Milos is often overlooked in favour of Santorini and Mykonos, though visitors will find that Milos boasts just as much charm and beauty on a far more intimate scale. A walk around the town will bring you to classic whitewashed villages, turquoise blue waters, oceanfront dining and a warm, welcoming community. If you’re looking for all the highlights of the most popular Greek islands but with less crowds, Milos is for you.

In Italy's Emilia-Romagna region sits the beautiful and historic city of Ravenna. It is well-known for the vibrant mosaics that cover many of its key structures, including the cross-shaped Mausoleo di Galla Placidia, the sixth-century Basilica di Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, and the octagonal Basilica di San Vitale. Located in the centre of the city is the Mausoleo di Teodorico, a circular Gothic stone tomb that was constructed in the sixth century for King Theodoric the Great.

The regional capital of northeastern Italy's Friuli Venezia Giulia is Trieste. It’s a port city located on the limestone-dominated Karst Plateau on a narrow strip of land between the Adriatic Sea and Slovenia's border. And its scenery, which includes a mediaeval old city and a neoclassical Austrian district, is influenced by Italy, Austro-Hungary, and Slovenia. There is a wide range of attractions in Trieste, including Miramare Castle, the Unity of Italy Square and the Revoltella Museum.
