Dubrovnik to Athens: The Tide of Time
Welcome to AE Expeditions' The Tide of Time Explore the dynamic coastlines of Croatia, Montenegro, Albania and Greece, where centuries of history unfold amid stunning landscapes and vibrant cultures. From the enduring legacies of Ancient Greece and Rome to the diverse influences of the Byzantine, Ottoman and Venetian empires, these lands abound with tales of conquests, alliances and cultural exchanges that resonate today. Approaching by sea, we marvel at Dubrovnik’s imposing city walls and savour the charm of Kotor’s fjord-fed waterfront. We discover Albania’s hidden gems, long hidden by travel restrictions, and sail to the picturesque ‘holiday island’ of Corfu, before navigating the engineering marvel of the Corinth Canal and exploring the mystical Oracle of Delphi. Our journey ends in Athens, where myth and modernity seamlessly blend amid ancient ruins, and a bustling city life embodies ‘everything Mediterranean’. This voyage promises an exploration of one of Europe’s most diverse regions, revealing enduring legacies that make this corner of the Mediterranean a must-see destination.
