Description
From Athens, birthplace of western civilisation, and Nauplia – first capital of modern Greece – Minerva anchors in the caldera of Santorini, calls at the Greek island of Patmos where St John dictated the Book of Revelation, visits legendary Troy and emotive Gallipoli, transits the Bosphorus and enters the Black Sea where ancient and military history have particular resonances. Enjoy a performance at the Odessa opera house, a concert given by the Band of the Black Sea Fleet, and wander in Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar.
