Grand Mediterranean Odyssey

At just under a month long, there’s no finer way to extend the summer, as Discovery follows the sun from the Channel to the Bosphorus. Along the way, you hear tales of Henry the Navigator and visit his city on the Tagus. You’ll step underground in Gibraltar, exploring the Great Siege tunnels that burrow through the Rock. From Almeria, you can visit Granada’s Alhambra, you can dine out late in Nice, sip cappuccinos anywhere from pretty Portofino to majestic St. Mark’s in Venice. Your horizons will be filled with the profiles of Vesuvius and Stromboli, Names all but unknown dot the Slovenian and Croatian coast, inviting you to explore their special blend of old world architecture and picturesque squares that share the Adriatic coast. Then, as we cruise the Aegean, Homeric tales fit neatly in and around Ithaca,
while today’s seaside pleasures sit side by side with ancient villages and antiquities dating back 6,000 years.
