Archaeology Travel in cooperation with EYsailing offer a trip through 3000 years of history of the Ionian Sea with visits to famous and lesser known archaeological sites!
Description of the trip:
Sail in the wake of Octavian and explore over 3,000 years of archaeology along the western coast of Greece. From Nicopolis, the Roman city of Victory at Actium, choose an itinerary north to Venetian castles on Corfu and the Oracle of the Underworld of Ancient Greece or south to Mycenean tombs on Kefalonia, the “Odyssean” Springs and Cave of Nymphs of Ithaca. For seven nights you will explore epic history, see stunning island scenery, enjoy the natural beauty of famous or isolated islands and live an authentic experience with local gastronomy from the comfort and flexibility of a sailing yacht!
