On this unique voyage, visit the magnificent Black Sea region, still new territory for many visitors. In addition to its splendid history and culture, the region enjoys a subtropical climate akin to that of the Mediterranean. After sailing from Athens, call in Constanta to explore the ruins of Tomis Danubius. Discover Ukraine’s Odessa, a city rich in 19th-century architecture, including the famous Potemkin Steps, as well as Yalta and Sevastopol, crucible of the Crimean War. Before concluding in Istanbul, sail to the seldom-visited north coast of Turkey to explore Trabzon, and the nearby Sumela Monastery, as well as the soaring citadel of ancient Amasya.
