Day 15/2 arrival in Athens and excursion by taxi. At 7.00 pm departure for Turkey. Arrival at around 7.30 am on 16/2 at the port of Izmir (Smyrna). A walk around the port area. In the evening we set off again towards the island of Rhodes, reached at around 8.00 am on 17/2. A nice tour of old Rhodes until boarding time and then departure for Cyprus. At 7.30 am on 18/2 we reach the port of Limassol (Cyprus). A day inside the ship to enjoy all its services. At 6 pm departure for Egypt and arrival at the port of Alexandria at 7.00 am on 19/2.

At 8.15 we're already on the coach for the excursion to the capital (Cairo) with a visit to the Pyramids of Giza and Saqqara, a jeep ride and then the camels. Return to Alexandria at 8.30 pm. At 10.00 pm departure for the return; about 60 hours of sailing await us before docking at Civitavecchia, but on this ship you certainly don't get bored!! At 8.00 am on 22/2 arrival in Civitavecchia and we say goodbye to our table companions who have finished their cruise, and go ashore for a tour of the city. At 6 pm we set off for Savona and so we enjoy this last evening before heading home, expected the next day. What can I say!!! We really relaxed and had fun.
