Sail from Athens to Venice in Timeless Style with Explora Journeys
Sail from Athens to Venice in Timeless Style with Explora Journeys
Slip back into classical antiquity as we move from the Acropolis to Katakolo, gateway to Ancient Olympia, and step among the ruins of temples, colonnades and stadia, reliving the first ever games held in 776 BC. From the Peloponnese to Corelli’s Kefalonia, cast into the Ionian, where we pick up a thread woven by the Venetians leading us to lagoons of La Serenissima via the unfolding, never-ending charms of Puglia, Dalmatia and lesser-travelled Istria.

why this journey works
This sailing splits its week between Greece and the Adriatic, and the split works. Athens and Katakolon — the port for ancient Olympia — carry the classical chapter; Fiskardo adds a pine-scented island harbor; then Bari, Zadar, and Rovinj walk the Italian and Croatian coasts up to Venice. We like the single early sea day: it resets the rhythm after Athens, and Explora I's suites and dining give it a point.

Day 1
Piraeus (Athens)
Timeless Energy in a Modern Acropolis
Port: Piraeus (Athens)
Arrival Method: dock
Departure: 19:00
Athenians don’t live in the past. Ahead of its time, Athens exudes glamour and a sense of possibility - housing galleries, gelaterias, bijoux boutiques alongside a plethora of museums. And you can’t help but marvel at the archaeological wonders of the Acropolis and the Parthenon. Stroll through vibrant streets and markets, dance at buzzing bouzoukia, sing along in tavernas. At night, head to the harbour, where dimly lit bars serve the local ice cold beer. And, as you inhale the salty air and watch Greek fishing boats peacefully depart for their catch, reflect on this ancient city's progressive attitude.

Infused in sunshine, Venetian charm and (according to Hitchcock) the world's best sunset – intriguing Zadar is a cultural gem resplendent.

What is a Typical Trip Investment?
To help you plan, many of our sample itineraries include a Typical Trip Investment rather than a fixed price.
Because every Evyssa journey is custom designed, pricing varies based on your travel dates, availability, room category, airfare (when included), exchange rates, and the experiences you choose. Instead of providing a price that may no longer be available when you’re ready to book, we offer a realistic investment range based on what similar trips typically cost.
Our Typical Trip Investment reflects the itinerary shown and is generally based on:
Double occupancy
Luxury accommodations similar to those featured
The private transfers, tours, and experiences described
Typical seasonal pricing at the time the itinerary was created
Standard service levels unless otherwise noted
Final pricing is confirmed only after your travel dates and preferences are finalized and suppliers confirm availability. During the planning process, we’ll present the best available options and pricing for your specific trip, along with any alternatives that may offer greater value.
Our goal is complete transparency—so you’ll always understand what is included, what may affect pricing, and how to make informed decisions before booking.
What is a Typical Trip Investment?
To help you plan, many of our sample itineraries include a Typical Trip Investment rather than a fixed price.
Because every Evyssa journey is custom designed, pricing varies based on your travel dates, availability, room category, airfare (when included), exchange rates, and the experiences you choose. Instead of providing a price that may no longer be available when you’re ready to book, we offer a realistic investment range based on what similar trips typically cost.
Our Typical Trip Investment reflects the itinerary shown and is generally based on:
Double occupancy
Luxury accommodations similar to those featured
The private transfers, tours, and experiences described
Typical seasonal pricing at the time the itinerary was created
Standard service levels unless otherwise noted
Final pricing is confirmed only after your travel dates and preferences are finalized and suppliers confirm availability. During the planning process, we’ll present the best available options and pricing for your specific trip, along with any alternatives that may offer greater value.
