As the sun melts into the Balearic horizon, Ibiza’s legendary golden hour sets the mood for a sunset celebration with live saxophone and dance under a sky ablaze. Then, drift into the darkest corners of the Mediterranean far from any coastline where all lights go out and the stars take center stage in a guided stargazing session, with constellations mapped in real time on your device. Whether it’s music, cuisine, culture or a starlit sky Costa’s Sea Destinations transform every sailing into a one of a kind open sea experience.

Greek Blues to Rome
Athens, Santorini & Mykonos
Shore Excursions.
Argostoli: Kefalonia Far and Wide, by Bus
The bus will take you to Katavothres, near Fanari, to view a geological phenomenon where the sea water is seemingly swallowed up by the rocks. Take a look at the water mill installed by Englishman Mr. Stevens in 1835 to study this phenomenon. Only in 1963 was it discovered that the water re-emerges 14 days later at the other end of the island. Traveling on by bus you’ll come to the Monastery of St Andrew, the old monastery church, built in the mid-16th century on the site of an earlier chapel dedicated to St Andrew, is
the only building to have survived the great earthquake of 1953. From the Monastery of St. Andrew, you will get a glimpse of the ruins of St. George’s Castle, the oldest castle on the island, still surrounded by some of the buildings connected with its history, such as the ruins of churches and walls with crenels and bastions.
Following the road to Sami village you will enjoy stunning views along the way. You’ll visit the trendiest place on the island, Sami. Stretch your legs on the seafront promenade with its mix of natural attractions and Venetian buildings.
Civitavecchia: Panoramic Bus Tour And Free Time
Your tour starts with a panoramic drive of Rome passing through the main sites including the Piramide of Rome, Caracalla Baths, Circus Maximums, Colosseum, Colle Oppio and Santa Maria Maggiore, Lungotevere and Castel Sant’Angelo. At the end of the panoramic tour, you will be dropped off in the Vatican area, a convenient place where
We continue on and make a photo stop above Myrtos beach, considered one of the three most beautiful beaches in the world. The tour will end with a stop for a few photos on the De Bosset Bridge in Argostoli. This is the longest stone bridge in the world and crosses the entire Koutavos Lagoon.

Marseille: Between Breathtaking Views and Authentic Corners
The Corniche, dedicated to President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, is a promenade that offers an exceptional view of the islands that extend from the Catalan beach, not far from the old port, to the Prado Park by the sea. Here you will also find the longest bench in the world with its almost three kilometers. You will arrive as far as the Longchamp Palace, where we make a short stop to take some photos. Your visit continues
to the Neo-Byzantine-style Cathedral of Santa Maria Maggiore. In front of you the Fort of Saint-Jean, built in 1660 by Louis XIV, the church of Saint-Laurent, a fine example of Provençal Romanesque architecture. At the end of the tour, the coach will leave you in the Old Port area for a walk with the guide to discover the “Vieux Port” among hundreds of moored boats.

Mykonos AtoZ
The tour starts with a sightseeing tour of the island by bus. In the center of the island you’ll visit the traditional village of Ano Mera, one of the few places unspoilt by modernity. In the main square stand the bell tower and the red dome of the Monastery of Panagia Tourliani,
which you will see from the outside. Returning to the coast, there’ll be a photo stop at Kalo Livadi. Last stop is the City of Mykonos, a maze of whitewashed houses: the buildings of Little Venice which look out onto the Aegean and the windmills will complete your gallery.
Palma: All of Palma at a Glance: Cathedral, Districts and Local Wonders
It looks like a huge ship anchored by the sea, but it is the Cathedral of Santa Maria, better known as “La Seu”. Built in the Levantine Gothic style, it will amaze you with the size of its nave and the so-called “Ojo del Gótico”, the gigantic rose window made up of 1,236 pieces of coloured glass. Built between 1229 and 1601, it was renovated in the 20th century by none other than Antoni Gaudí, who added to it some elements in the modernist style. Right
Piraeus: Athens in Comfort
All the comforts of a tour by bus and the variety of an excursion that will introduce you to the many different faces of Athens. Get comfortable and listen to the tales told by the guide: we’re off.
It’s a short trip from the port of Piraeus to the Zea Marina. This perfectly circular inlet, known to the locals as “Pasalimani”, was used by Themistocles in the 5th century BC as a defense against the Persians.
Follow the yachts to the Mikrolimano or “small port” promenade and look out over the Saronic
beside it is the Almudaina Royal Palace, a Muslim alcázar from 1281, later the seat of the Kingdom of Aragon and today the summer residence of the Spanish royal family. And as a final touch to remember, take home a few Majorca pearls. They are artificial, but will deceive even an experienced eye. They have been produced by craftsmen on the island since the end of the 19th century.
Gulf before venturing inland towards downtown Athens. The sights here look like the pages of a history book: the national library, university, parliament building and Panathenaic Stadium all deserve a quick photo.
Climb effortlessly up to the Plaka district, the oldest in the city, where time has stood still among neoclassical buildings, ancient monuments, vintage stores and cafés. A sightseeing tour around downtown Piraeus completes your adventure.

Savona: History, Art and Flavors
Your walk through the old town will lead to the Assunta Cathedral, with its unmistakable Baroque façade. Did you know that the relics of Saint Valentine are kept here? Yes, the patron saint of lovers. Our guide will tell you some other interesting facts outside the monument.
Stop off at the Priamar Fortress, built by the Genoese in 1547 to defend the recently conquered city. Today it houses the archaeological museum but in previous centuries it was also a prison: its illustrious detainees include Giuseppe Mazzini,
charged with corruption and imprisoned in 1830. It’s time for some food tasting. Some traditional fried fish await you at the harbor, strictly accompanied by a glass of local wine. But your adventure in Savona doesn’t end here. You still need to see Palazzo Gavotti, which houses the Savona Picture Gallery, and the Ceramics Museum, showcasing an art mastered by the Ligurians. A journey through six centuries awaits, from 15th-16th century tiles, known as “laggioni”, to majolicas inspired by oriental porcelain.
Santorini: Oia and Fira, White Santorini
Along the way, you’ll be struck by the evocative landscapes of the caldera, the volcanic crater now swallowed up by the sea, surrounded by the Santorini island group that includes Therasia and Aspronisi on the outer edges and the Kameni islands in the center.
Oia is iconic with its up and down marble-paved alleys and typical white houses with blue domed roofs that are characteristic of the whole island. There are many panoramic and photo-worthy
views of the nearby islands of Folegandros and Sikinos and the now dormant volcano.
Whether you choose a jewel with colors that mirror the sea or one made with lava stone, or if you prefer a handcrafted ceramic or picture, you’ll be spoilt for choice among these craft shops. You’ll definitely find an original gift before reaching Fira, the island’s capital, with its narrow streets lined with typical houses. Enjoy a photo stop in Fira before returning to Athinios Port by bus.
Taranto: Alberobello, the Trulli Fairy Tale
You’ll travel to Alberobello on our bus. Accompanied by a local guide, you’ll visit the two urban areas with the greatest number of trulli: Rione Monti to the south, where there are roughly a thousand trulli used as craft workshops, and Rione Aia Piccola, with around 400 units that are actual homes belonging to local inhabitants. These buildings, which are typically white, cylindrical and topped with a dome, date from the mid-14th century and have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. An edict of the Kingdom of Naples levied a tax on
every new building. This is how the idea of the trulli was conceived; as they were built without mortar, they were considered to be temporary constructions and therefore not taxable. The whiteness of the walls indicates purity and the whitewashed symbols on the dome indicate the family’s religion, while the shape of the overlapping stone pinnacles was the final touch that made your home unique and recognizable. We can’t leave Alberobello without tasting some local products, accompanied by a glass of wine.
