Beginning in Nice and ending in Athens, our 21 day Treasures of the Eastern Mediterranean is the perfect summer school holiday cruise for families. Sailing between June and July, guests can expect exquisite weather alongside a myriad of exciting activities and memories to be made.
The itinerary
When it comes to locations, holidaymakers have the opportunity to explore 17 different spots in the Mediterranean. From the Aragonese citadel of the main village, ogle over the charmingly colourful houses built on the hillside in Porto Santo Stefano. Just as captivating in views, take in breathtaking landscapes at Lipari, home to volcanic origins. Moving onto Greece after a day of open sailing, discover the traditional wonders of Hydra. With no cars or motor vehicles on the island, its beauty is unrivalled in the form of quaintness and bougainvillaea-speckled streets.
Sailing into Istanbul shortly after, cruise the Bosphorus and explore the bustling markets and beautiful mosques the majestic city has to offer, which combines the traditional with the contemporary. Towards the end of the cruise, you’ll head to the city of Ashdod in Israel, one of the most sacred cities in the world, and bask in historic monuments like the Holy Sepulchre, the Wailing Wall and the Dome of the Rock. Finally you’ll get the chance to see the remains of the famous Alexandria lighthouse in Egypt, before heading back to Greece to stop at Santorini and Athens.
Amid the endless sites and cities to be explored, enjoy relaxing spa treatments, yoga classes, watersports and evening entertainment onboard our Club Med Treasures of the Eastern Mediterranean cruise.
