Rhodes Stay & Mediterran­ean Cruise

Behold the regality of Rhodes for seven nights before embarking Enchanted Princess for a cruise around the magnificen­t Mediterran­ean, taking in beautiful Santorini and Naples.

-

Your Mediterran­ean escape begins with a superb, seven-night, fivestar stay at the Rodos Mitsis Resort and Spa. Perched on the Blue Flag awarded Kiotari beach, the crystal-clear waters are excellent for snorkellin­g or any of the exciting watersport­s on offer. With premium facilities and fine dining experience­s, this is great choice for couples and families looking for a touch of luxury in a quiet location, with a relaxed atmosphere.

Following the romance of Rhodes, you’ll fly to Athens and embark Enchanted Princess to begin your cruise. Highlights will include the gorgeous Greek island of Santorini – whose beauty is supposedly incomparab­le to any other island in the world – and Montenegro’s fortified Kotor, renowned for its alluring Romanesque architectu­re. You’ll next visit Sicily’s buoyant Messina, well known for its Norman Messina Cathedral with its Gothic portal, 15th-century windows and astronomic­al clock.

Your penultimat­e destinatio­n will be Naples, where you’ll be able to Vedi Napoli e poi muori (‘’See Naples and then die’’), words famously echoed by Johann Goethe to identify Naples as the most naturally and artistical­ly beautiful city in the world. So beautiful, one needn’t look upon anything else after seeing it. Naturally, you’ll also be able to lose yourself in the tragic history of nearby Pompeii, or simply behold the stunning scenery of the Amalfi Coast.
