Myths and Minarets, Gateways & Gondolas

14 nights on Ocean Village Two

If 7 nights is not enough, why not combine two cruise itineraries for the perfect 14 night break?  You can keep the same cabin and even have a day to explore Heraklion before setting sail on the second week of your cruise - ready to take in the sights and sounds of all our Eastern Mediterranean ports.

In your first week, join the Myths and Minarets cruise to explore the blue Mosque and glittering Topkapi palace of Istanbul. Chill out on the lush Greek island of Lesbos then take in the ancient amphitheatre and two-tier library at Ephesus. Head for the Acropolis in Athens, then leave the dusty stuff behind with a beach day in Rhodes, or explore the Knights' Quarter that still resonates with legends of the Crusades.

Then spend another 7 nights on the Gateways and Gondolas cruise exploring picturesque, medieval time-capsule of Dubrovnik or Split, then sail into the architectural jewellery box that is Venice to see St Mark's Square, the Rialto Bridge and Harry's Bar (or glide around in a gondola). Let the pretty scenery do the talking at the islands of Korcula and Corfu then hit the beaches on idyllic Zakinthos or check out where the Olympic Games started at Olympia, from Katakolon.
