The company offers more than 250 shore experiences at over 170 UNESCO designated sites and has also created special World Heritage Discovery Tours at a number of ports worldwide.
Mykonos
Board a local ferry from Mykonos and cross to the ancient island of Delos - a UNESCO World Heritage site. Birthplace of Apollo and his twin sister Artemis, the children of Zeus and Leto, this sacred island is uninhabited now, but its first settlements date to the 3rd millennium BC.
Rhodes
Drive to the Plateau of Filerimos and visit the Church of Our Lady. Walk though medieval Rhodes Town and learn about grand medieval structures as your guide recounts the town's fascinating past while you walk along the Knights Road, leading to the 14th century Palace of the Grand Masters, built to dominate the town and the harbours.
Monemvasia
The city was abandoned in 1832, leaving only medieval ruins, standing in a beautiful landscape, still considered Greece's best-preserved Byzantine city. A walking tour offers insight into impressive churches, restored palaces, vaulted alleys and city walls. Adventurous explorers have the option of climbing to the Kastro, a 13th-century castle to take in one of the most stunning panoramas in the region.
Katakolon (Olympia)
Enjoy a walking tour that includes visits to the ruins of the Temple of Zeus and the stadium where the Olympic Games began. A Greek lunch, with wine, is served in a leading restaurant in the modern village of Olympia.
Brindisi
Alberobello is a fairytale village, famous for its unique, cone-shaped buildings with whitewashed walls and stone roofs. Your guided tour starts at Terrazzino Belvedere, which boasts more than 400 of these cone-shaped buildings, and ends at the Church of Saint Anthony -- a trullo with a façade of three wings adorned with a rose window.
