7 Night Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Galaxy from 06-Oct-2007 to 13-Oct-2007

Rome  6th October Civitavecchia docks
where we board the Galaxy ship latest 3pm              
Civitavecchia was settled in 108 A.D. by Emperor Trajan and has since faithfully served as a gateway to the capital of the Empire, Rome.

Rome, Italy
Once the centre of the ancient world from which emperors ruled over nearly all of western civilisation for hundreds of years, Rome is still considered by many to reign over all other European destinations. Here you can breathe the air once breathed by great Roman gladiators in the ancient halls of the Coliseum. Gaze upon the very ceilings Michelangelo painted at the Sistine Chapel. Or visit a monument to both size and faith, St. Peter's Basilica, the largest church ever built.

Athens (Piraeus), Greece Oct 08  
Your adventure in Athens begins five miles southwest in Greece's largest seaport, known as Piraeus. While here, be sure to take notice of what is considered to be one of the greatest contributions from the ancient Age of Pericles, the city's infrastructure, which today we know as a city block.
Athens, Greece
Athens brought the world drama, history, poetry and philosophy - and wait till you see the buildings these subjects were taught in. Once the world's most powerful and civilised city, Athens is now the world's foremost archaeological playground. The towering columns of the Parthenon still stand as an ancient dedication to the virgin goddess Athena. Countless classic sculptures and museums packed with historical wonders and Athenian art abound.
 
Santorini, Greece Oct 09  
35.25 degrees north. 25.20 degrees east. Perfection has co-ordinates. Here on Santorini, you'll find whitewashed houses accented by roofs of the bluest blue - there's no doubt that azure waters of the Aegean have served as creative inspiration. Among the many historic sites on the island is the ancient city of Akrotiri, once buried under a thick blanket of volcanic ash over 3,600 years ago.  

Ephesus (Kusadasi), Turkey Oct 10  
Nestled along the craggy shores of the Aegean Sea is the Turkish port of Kusadasi. Renowned as one of the most beautiful cities along the Aegean, Kusadasi is blessed with sunshine an average of 300 days a year. This beautiful city is the perfect setting to begin your journey to Ephesus.
 
Tango dancing in the theatre of Ephesus



 
Mykonos, Greece Oct 11  
Few places in the world compare with Mykonos. Here you'll find whitewashed houses clinging to cliffs against a backdrop of indescribably blue sea. Follow a maze of tiny streets, visit one of the world's most superb beaches, or see the mythical birthplace of Apollo, the island of Mykonos
