"God Desired to Crown His Work and Thus Created The Kornati Islands"

G B SHAW

Venice to Athens

The dramatic beauty of the Adriatic coast has long inspired writers, poets and artists. Myriad islands with lofty mountains plunging into the sea to create winding fjords and magnificent bays, make this jagged coastline one of the natural wonders of the world. As well as providing outstanding natural beauty, this cruise also offers you the opportunity to visit the remarkable archaeological and historical sites en route. From the Byzantine splendour of St Mark's and the tranquil beauty of the Venetian canals to the classical elegance of Delphi and Epidaurus, there is much to excite the imagination.
