FROM THE WALLS OF TROY TO THE CANALS OF VENICE: landmarks
of mediterranean civilizations

September 12 - 23, 2013

From $7,990 per person, double occupancy (does not include airfare)

From Mythic Prehistoric Sites to Magnificent Greek Monuments, and from Grand Roman Cities to Medieval Villages over looking the sea, the Mediterranean features layer upon layer of history and culture set beautifully upon azure waters. In these storied lands, the art and architecture from myriad civilizations coexist. Centuries of history imbue these shores, from ancient structures that remain remarkably intact to beautiful seaside walled towns that have retained their original character and architecture. On this voyage aboard Corinthian, we will also encounter the two main powers that coexisted, sometimes peacefully, at other times in sharp competition, in the eastern Mediterranean during the medieval period, the Byzantine Empire and Venice. Beginning in Istanbul— old Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire—we set sail for fabled Troy, where ongoing archaeological work has revealed the remains of a series of towns spanning the centuries, and continue through the Aegean, Ionian and Adriatic Seas ending our voyage in Venice, undoubtedly one of the world’s most unusual cities.
