From Italy to Greece, discover the most beautiful ports along the Amalfi coast and Ancient Greece during a 8-days cruise on board Le Lapéouse.

In a setting of vegetation and colourful tropical flowers, of bougainvilleas and oleanders, in the shadow of the snow-topped peak of Mount Etna, Taormina casts a spell over all its visitors. Dreams are made of this – the multi-coloured strata of rocky outcrops in the Cyclades emerge from the shimmering waters of the Aegean Sea.

Discover some of those pristine islands; Mykonos, with its wonderful white houses, winding streets, windmills, blue domed churches and magnificent beaches or even Delos, the sacred island where legend has it that Apollo was born.

In Athens, join us aboard Le Lapérouse, the latest addition to our fleet, for an unforgettable cruise. It will be an opportunity to discover ancient sites from the great civilisations that were spread across the Mediterranean and contributed to shape our modern world.

First we will head to the Delphi sanctuary of Greek gods which you will reach via Itea, your first port of call. You will walk in the footsteps of the pilgrims of old, who came here to consult the famous oracle. Next, after a stop in Nafplio, a charming and well-preserved city dominated by an impressive Venitian citadel, Le Lapérouse will take you to Patmos.

The next stop will be Rhodes, where you will fall under the charm of the Gothic architecture in the medieval city that is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
