Explore the islands of the Mediterranean as they were meant to be seen—from the deck of a beautiful ship. Aboard Corinthian II, visit the remains of Knossos on Crete and the Doric temples of Agrigento on Sicily before exploring the remarkable monuments at Paphos on Cyprus. Also visit the mysterious Su Nuraxi on Sardinia, see the fine Gothic architecture on Bonifacio, and discover the historic island of Rhodes, known in antiquity for its schools of philosophy, rhetoric, and sculpture.
