Adriatic & Aegean Treasures

The Adriatic leads you to the Ionian Sea, the Aegean to the fringes of the Black Sea. Along the way, centuries of history are brought to life with cities like Venice, still holding back the tide of time; walled Dubrovnik, and ancient treasures around the islands and mainland of Greece. There are tiny hill-top villages unchanged for generations - places where it’s as good today to stop and sample retsina and other local flavours as it ever was. As Discovery presses on through the Dardanelles, pausing to remember the heroes of the Gallipoli campaign, we’ll reach the stunning city of Istanbul, where East meets West.
