Autumn in the eastern Mediterranean is a very special time. Gentle temperatures and crowd free sites make this the loveliest season to explore this corner of antiquity. Sail from Cyprus on a journey that will include some of the most beautiful coastal scenery in the Mediterranean. Learn more about the great cities that flourished and fell and the intriguing civilisations that so coveted these ancient lands. Our onboard guest speakers will be joined by local guides as we explore this antique land with its relics of Greek, Roman, Christian and Ottoman civilisations dating back some three millennia.

Our journey will often fall in the footsteps of St Paul, including the city of his birth, Tarsus and many of the places he travelled and preached, from the Levant to Greece.
