Genoa to Athens (Piraeus)
Explore Italy at a quieter time of year on this six-night voyage. Enjoy the peace and quiet as well as easier access to world famous sights now that most of the tourists have returned home. Departing Genoa, which still bears the impressive architectural legacy of a once powerful maritime city, we sail first to Livorno. This Tuscan port puts within reach great art in the museums and galleries of Florence, Pisa's famous Leaning Tower, and the chance to taste fine wines in the vineyards of Chianti. Work up an appetite for Naples, our next port of call, home of the pizza. This is also the gateway to the Amalfi coast and the pretty island of Capri. Beautiful Messina in Sicily is next, with its cathedral revealing a Norman presence, before a relaxing day at sea takes us to our final port of call, Athens.
