Whitewashed villages clinging to the sides of the sea cliffs have made the volcanic island of Santorini one of the most widely photographed places in the world.  The island's charm and subtle mystery have even made it a target of speculation as the location of the lost city of Atlantis.​

Day 8: Corfu, Greece | Sat Nov 2 | 12:00 PM - 7:00 PM

One of the lushest of the Greek Isles, Corfu is rimmed in dramatic blue waters and topped with tranquil hillside villages.  A collection of quaint cafes in the town of Corfu feels very continental, but the island's secluded coves and sandy beaches could only be found in the Greek Isles.

Cruise to Naples, located on Italy's stunning Amalfi coast, a city rich in history.  A tour around Naples' grand piazzas, cathedrals and castles in the old center will take you back centuries.  Pompeii is not too far either, a dashing city which boasts diverse cultural offerings and charming streets.
