About This Cruise
<p>Towns and villages carved out of the water, legendary sites, infinite blue sea: between Italy and Attica, the Mediterranean continues to reveal all its treasures. In Sicily, here is Taormina, its medieval alleyways and its antique ancient theatre watched over by Mount Etna; then come Puglia and Gallipoli, unfolding their baroque pearls before making way for Greek shores. Here, legend and landscape are as one. Paxos, the island born of the gods, Parga and Galaxidi, charming little fishing ports, or Milos and its lunar landscapes, which gave birth to its famous Venus, are all perfect for wandering around. Just like Hydra, the eternal bohemian island, where it is good to lose oneself before reaching the immortal Athens.</p>
