From the pier, your coach will take you through the farmland to Paestum. The Greeks, drawn by the vast flat expanses and the region’s rich soil—ideal for agriculture—founded the archaeological site of Paestum over 2,500 years ago. They built three... more+ magnificent columned temples, reminiscent of the Parthenon in Greece, which remain relatively intact today. Many Greek artifacts discovered in this area are displayed in the museum. After a guided tour of the excavations and the museum, you will board the coach to return to your ship.
This tour includes approximately 2 hours of walking on uneven surfaces and cobblestones. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes and using sunscreen and hats to protect yourself from the sun.

Complete your visit with a tasting of this exquisite mozzarella.
Next, board your coach and cross agricultural lands to Paestum. The Greeks, attracted by the region’s vast flatlands and fertile soil ideal for farming, founded the archaeological site of Paestum over 2,500 years ago. They built three magnificent columned temples, reminiscent of the Parthenon in Greece, which remain relatively intact today. Many Greek artifacts discovered in the area are displayed in the museum. After a guided tour of the ruins, return to your ship.

From the pier, a one-hour coach journey will take you to Pizzo Calabro. A medieval town and fishing port, Pizzo is renowned for its artisanal ice cream production. Starting from the Piazzetta, you will explore the city center and reach the Aragonese Castle... more+ (exterior visit only), where Joachim Murat was executed. You will then visit the San Giorgio Church, where Murat is buried. Next, you will visit the workshop of a historic gelateria that produces Pizzo’s famous "truffle" ice cream, which holds the IGP label for its smoothness and authenticity.

You will then head to Scilla, an ancient village known since Homer’s time, who described it in the Odyssey as the home of Scylla, a nymph turned into a sea monster by the sorceress Circe. The Ruffo Castle, facing the Strait of Messina, along with pristine beaches, the sea, and the charming Chianalea district—the old fishermen’s quarter—make Scilla one of Calabria’s most sought-after tourist destinations. Chianalea is nicknamed "Little Venice" due to its houses built directly on the rocks, separated by small alleys overlooking the sea, which also earns it a place among the most beautiful villages in Italy. Strolling through the village, you will admire ancient fountains, churches, and palaces. After visiting the castle and village, enjoy a delightful refreshment of local products in a magnificent setting with a view before returning to your ship, a 30-minute drive away.

Walk in the footsteps of the heroes of antiquity. Embark on a journey through time and immerse yourself in the heart of this legendary history during a visit to the iconic sanctuary of Olympia, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Rising from the Alpheus valley, on... more+ the slopes of Mount Cronion, the Olympia site is much more than just a witness to ancient Greece. Dedicated to the cult of Zeus, the sanctuary hosted the most famous Panhellenic games of Greece for over ten centuries: the Olympic Games. During this unique visit, admire some of these spaces, relics of this precious past.
Here, each vestige is a whisper from centuries ago, as with every step, the grandeur of this era reflects through its imposing temples, sacred altars, and theatres where the cheers of past spectators still resonate...
Let yourself be seduced by the Altis, the sanctuary and cradle of cults and games, home to the oldest of the great Greek temples, a symbol of Doric architecture: the Temple of Hera. Nearby, the altar of Zeus stands proudly, receiving the offerings of believers. A row of 12 small votive temples, also called "treasure houses," are dedicated to Zeus and allowed the population to make offerings. Below the treasure houses, you can glimpse the remains of a series of sixteen statues of Zeus, funded by heavy fines imposed by Olympic judges on athletes who cheated or tried to win through dishonest means. Outside the Altis, there is a tunnel leading to the stadium and its grand 192.25-meter track, as well as the hippodrome where sporting events took place. Imagine yourself among the 40,000 spectators, filled with emotion as athletes competed in effort and excellence.
Finally, visit the Olympia Museum, housing all the discoveries made at the site, including the bas-reliefs of the Temple of Zeus.
This excursion involves walking on uneven or rocky ground with some stairs. We recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and protecting yourself from the sun.

On the slopes of Mount Parnassus, the site of Delphi opens the doors to a sacred world, where every stone evokes the glorious past of ancient Greece. Walk the Sacred Way, the path once taken by pilgrims and kings of Antiquity, and embark on a journey out of... more+ time. Here, the history of Greece and its legends overflow from everything: the ruins and ancient monuments, but also from the surrounding nature, always sublime.
This is immediately evident at the Temple of Apollo. Built around the 7th century BC by two legendary architects, Trophonius and Agamedes, only a few remnants of this Doric monument remain today, which was once decorated with shields captured from the Persians. Yet, the foundations and columns still present seem to echo their grandeur in the surrounding mountains.
The same goes for the ruins of the Delphic Senate, as well as the remains of the Oracle of Delphi, where thousands of pilgrims gathered to receive the oracle of the Pythia, the priestess of Apollo. The ancient theater is also worth a visit.
Just a few steps from the Temple of Apollo, you can also discover the exhibits at the Delphi Museum, showcasing items found at the archaeological site for over a century. Vases, bronzes, sculptures, precious offerings made to Apollo by the pilgrims, gold and ivory objects found under the slabs of the Sacred Way subtly tell the story of one of the most emblematic places of Antiquity.
This excursion involves about 1.7 kilometers of walking on uneven ground, with some steps. We recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and protecting yourself from the sun.
Pre-reservations are open with your advisor about 2 months before departure and up to 7 days before the cruise begins, subject to availability. 
included
Marvel at the beauty of the Byzantine monastery of Hosios Loukas and gain altitude in the streets of Arachova, a small town perched 1,000 meters above sea level on the illustrious Mount Parnassus.
A UNESCO World Heritage site, the fortified Hosios Loukas... more+ monastery, near Delphi, is one of the most characteristic monuments of the second Byzantine golden age. Founded in the early 10th century by the hermit Saint Luke, it features a centrally planned church adorned with beautiful marble decorations and stunning gold-background mosaics. The main sanctuary is none other than the tomb of Saint Luke, originally located in the crypt.
Your excursion continues with a visit to Arachova. Built on the mountainside, this small town of 3,300 inhabitants is known for its traditional stone houses that climb the northern slopes of Mount Parnassus, between 800 and 1,100 meters above sea level. As you wander freely through the narrow streets, let yourself be charmed by the hospitality of the locals, the local crafts, and the cuisine. The town is famous for its wines, cheeses, and handwoven rugs and blankets.
This excursion includes one hour of walking on uneven terrain and cobbled streets with many steps (about 50 steps at the monastery). We recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and protecting yourself from the sun. A dress code covering shoulders and knees is recommended for visits to religious sites.
Pre-reservations open with your advisor about 2 months before departure and up to 7 days before the cruise begins, subject to availability.

From the quay, you will board your coach for a 45-minute journey towards Epidaurus. Located approximately 30 km east of Nafplion, Epidaurus is famous for its ancient theater. Considered one of the most important sanctuaries in the ancient world, Epidaurus was... more+ dedicated to the god of medicine Asclepius. World-renowned, the Epidaurus theater was built in the 4th century BC. This gem of harmony and acoustics is the best-preserved of the ancient Greek theaters. Built of limestone, it can accommodate 12,000 spectators.
At the end of this visit, you will return to your coach and head to the archaeological site of Mycenae. This site was the first to be excavated in-depth in 1876 by the famous German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, in his obsessive search for the tomb of Agamemnon. His diligent work uncovered the famous Lion's Gate, the only access to the city, behind which lies a cemetery containing the tombs of several nobles. A little further, you can see the "Beehive Tomb," named for its unusual vaulted shape.
Finally, you will return to Nafplion in 30 minutes.
This excursion involves about two hours of walking on uneven ground with some potentially slippery stairs. We recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and protecting yourself from the sun.

From... more+ the port of Nafplio, a one-hour journey takes you to the renowned Corinth Canal. Stretching 6.4 km in length and 21 meters in width, it impresses with its sloping walls reaching up to 52 meters in height. Although construction began in 1881, the idea of linking the Ionian and Aegean Seas dates back to Roman times. At Isthmia, you will board a local boat for a canal crossing, with refreshments served on board.
Upon returning to Nafplio, visit Palamidi Castle, a beautifully preserved fortress overlooking the city. Its massive walls and fortifications made it an impregnable stronghold. From this strategic vantage point, enjoy an exceptional panoramic view of the Nafplio basin, the city, and the maritime fortress of Bourtzi. Built by the Venetians and Ottomans, the castle also served as a prison until recently.
