“Palmyra For A While Stood Forth The Rival Of Rome”
EDWARD GIBBON
Cairo to Athens
It is the variety, scale and good state of preservation of the ancient sites in Syria that impresses both the classical history enthusiast and the discerning amateur. From the splendour of ancient Palmyra to the magnificent bazaars of Aleppo and the greatest of all Crusader castles, Krak des Chevaliers, Syria boasts some of the most spectacular archaeological remains in the world. On this voyage you will also visit Egypt to see the Pyramids of Giza and the breathtaking sites of Karnak and the Valley of the Kings. The ship will also call in at Beirut, Lebanon for an excursion to Baalbek. And, as you make your way to Athens, the Aegean Odyssey will dock in Limassol in Cyprus and Antalya in Turkey.
