SUMMARY:Aegean Sea Odyssey: Cruise the Greek Isles & Historic Türkiye
DESCRIPTION:Join Archaeological Institute of America lecturer and host Joanne Murphy\, a classical archaeologist and an engaging professor\, on a captivating journey cruising the Aegean Sea among the cultural coastal gems of Greece and Türkiye. Set out from Athens’ port of Piraeus for the sacred\, uninhabited island of Delos\, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cruise into the iconic caldera of Santorini and visit the island’s haunting site of Akrotiri\, which was buried yet preserved by a volcanic eruption around 1600 B.C. Wander through the medieval town of Rhodes\, a UNESCO World Heritage Site\, and perhaps take an optional excursion to the Acropolis at Lindos with its 4th-century B.C. temple; and then hop over to nearby Kuşadasi\, Türkiye\, for a visit to the vast Greco-Roman city of Ephesus\, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our last port of call is Çanakkale\, for an excursion to legendary Troy\, a UNESCO World Heritage Site\, before we disembark in deeply historical Istanbul. Optional pre- and post- cruise extensions in Athens and Istanbul are available. Aboard ship a team of experts\, including AIA lecturer/host Joanne Murphy\, will share their knowledge through a series of enriching lectures and informal discussions. Our luxury vessel\, Le Dumont-d’Urville\, which has only 92 staterooms and suites\, will be a floating sanctuary of sophistication and comfort\, where you will indulge in gourmet dining\, unwind in spacious staterooms\, and savor panoramic views throughout the vessel.
