Greek & Turkish Wonders
Voyage to the Mediterranean and the Aegean Sea on this 9-night cruise aboard Oceania Cruises’ Nautica. Planned specifically for the culturally curious, this cruise seeks out authentic experiences of lesser-known European cultures and explores their Greek and Turkish roots in depth.
Stand in the ruins where the myth of the Trojan horse entered the ancient city of Troy or visit the wooden Trojan horse model used in the well-known 2004 film Troy. Discover Byzantine treasures on a stroll past historic churches, such as the Church of the Virgin Mary of Agiasos and the Church of Saint Demetrius, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. See the foundations of the mausoleum, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and marvel at the famed Library of Celsus and the Grand Theater. Snap photos of the iconic, blue-domed buildings from Santorini’s highest peak and take a beach day in Mykonos.
