In Sibenik, tour the magnificent St. James Cathedral — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a stunning example of Renaissance and Gothic architecture. Stroll the lovely old Venetian quarter in Corfu, or soak up the sun at a pristine beach in Mykonos. Take in the wonderful scents while wandering through the aromatic spice markets in Istanbul. Explore the imposing Cesme Castle, which dates back to the 16th century. Before journeys end in Athens, sample remarkable vintages at a renowned winery in Santorini, where the house-dotted cliffs are the perfect backdrop for a glass of Brusco.
