Costa Deliziosa: ATH - PMA - ATH07A27

Santorini is one of the most recognizable and romantic Greek islands, located in the southern part of the Aegean Sea, within the Cyclades island group. Known for its spectacular sunsets, white houses with blue domes, and dramatic volcanic landscape, Santorini offers a unique experience that combines natural beauty, rich history, and an elegant atmosphere.

The island’s capital, Fira, takes your breath away with its views over the sea and surrounding islands. Its narrow streets are filled with shops, restaurants, bars, and museums, while nearby Oia, world-famous for its fairy-tale sunsets, enchants visitors with its charm. Traditional villages like Pyrgos, Emporeia, and Megalochori offer a glimpse into the island’s quieter and more authentic side.

Santorini is also an island of wine – thanks to its volcanic soil, local wines, especially Assyrtiko, are considered among the best in Greece. Visitors can tour many wineries and taste local varieties while enjoying views of the sea and vineyards. For history lovers, a visit to the archaeological site of Akrotiri is a must – an ancient Minoan city buried by a volcanic eruption.

The island also features unique beaches such as the Red Beach, Black Beach (Perissa), and White Beach, each showcasing the volcanic origins of Santorini through their color and texture. The island is equally known for its luxury hotels with infinity pools, private terraces, and panoramic views, offering the perfect setting for relaxation.

Whether you're looking for a romantic escape, cultural discovery, or simply a seaside holiday, Santorini delivers an unforgettable experience in one of the most beautiful settings in the Mediterranean.

Heraklion is the capital and largest city of Crete, located on the northeastern coast of Greece’s largest island. This dynamic city is a blend of rich history, vibrant culture, and modern urban life, making it an essential destination for anyone wanting to experience the authentic Cretan atmosphere.

Heraklion is best known for its archaeological sites, especially the Palace of Knossos — one of the most significant historical landmarks in Crete, which served as the ceremonial and political center of the Minoan civilization and culture. In addition to its historical attractions, the city offers narrow streets in the old town, colorful markets such as the Morosini Market, traditional tavernas, and museums that tell the story of Crete’s rich past and heritage.

In the southern Ionian Sea lies Zakynthos – an island known for its crystal-clear waters and dramatic cliffs. But beyond the postcard-perfect views, there is much more to discover: rich history, vibrant towns, and unspoiled nature create a perfect balance between relaxation and exploration.

The island’s capital, also called Zakynthos, blends Venetian heritage with a modern Mediterranean rhythm. The Church of Saint Dionysios and the Byzantine Museum are key landmarks that reflect the island’s cultural depth. Zakynthos is especially famous for Navagio Beach, nestled in a secluded cove surrounded by white cliffs and accessible only by boat – a sight that leaves a lasting impression.

In the south, in Laganas Bay, visitors share the sea with the rare Caretta caretta sea turtle, while the island’s interior reveals traditional villages, vineyards, and olive groves – all telling the story of a simpler, authentic life far from the crowds.

Zakynthos is an island of contrasts – and that’s exactly why it stays with you. Whether you’re seeking the quiet of nature or the vibrant spirit of a Greek evening, this island offers an experience that goes beyond expectations.

Kotor, located at the very end of one of the most spectacular bays in the Mediterranean, is a true gem of Montenegro – a town where history, architecture, and nature come together in perfect harmony. Surrounded by steep mountains that plunge into the turquoise waters of the Bay of Kotor, the town captivates visitors at first sight.

Beneath the massive stone walls that have protected the Old Town for centuries lies a remarkably well-preserved urban maze of narrow cobbled streets, small squares, churches, and buildings that tell stories of sailors, merchants, and artists who helped shape Kotor’s unique character over the ages. Kotor is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is rightfully considered one of the finest examples of medieval architecture on the Adriatic.

Throughout the year, the town hosts numerous cultural and musical events, festivals, exhibitions, and regattas. Kotor is equally charming during the lively summer months and in the off-season, when its quiet streets and misty mountains create an almost mystical atmosphere.

The surroundings of Kotor offer countless opportunities for exploration – whether you choose to hike up to the San Giovanni fortress for an unforgettable panoramic view of the bay, take a boat trip to the island of Our Lady of the Rocks, or stroll through nearby villages that preserve the authentic spirit of Boka.

Kotor is not a place to simply visit – it is a place to experience. A town where stone, sea, and time come together to create a space where every visit becomes a story worth remembering.

Located at the southern tip of Dalmatia, this historic UNESCO World Heritage Site captivates visitors with its stunning medieval architecture, imposing city walls, and crystal-clear sea.

Throughout the centuries, Dubrovnik was a powerful maritime and trading republic, renowned for its independence, diplomacy, and rich cultural life. Today, its Old Town exudes elegance and history — a walk down Stradun, the main street paved with white stone, leads to numerous churches, museums, and historic squares. The city walls, stretching nearly two kilometers around the Old Town, offer spectacular views of the red rooftops and the surrounding Dubrovnik archipelago.

In addition to its historical and cultural heritage, Dubrovnik also boasts remarkable natural beauty.

Located on the Dalmatian coast of the Adriatic Sea, Split is a city where history and modern life blend into a unique Mediterranean story. Around the core of the ancient palace of Emperor Diocletian — which still forms the heart of the city — a vibrant urban center has evolved, where stone streets echo with the voices of locals, the sounds of music, and the aromas of Dalmatian cuisine.

Diocletian’s Palace is not just a monument – it’s a living city: home to cafés, shops, residences, and small taverns, with narrow alleyways that reveal details bearing witness to centuries of history. Along the seafront stretches the Riva – the city’s promenade and open-air living room, where people sip coffee, meet friends, and gaze out at the nearby islands.

Split is also a cultural hub – with numerous museums, galleries, theaters, and events throughout the year, as well as a place of vibrant nightlife, sports, and youthful energy. Its proximity to beaches like Bačvice, the pine-covered hill of Marjan with its walking trails, and the harbor offering ferries to islands such as Hvar, Brač, and Vis makes it an ideal base for exploring the Dalmatian coast.

Split is not just a destination – it’s a feeling. A place where history isn’t kept behind glass, but lived every day. A city of stone, sea, and spirit – not easily forgotten.

Venice, located in the lagoon of the northern Adriatic, has a history spanning more than a thousand years. Founded in the 5th century as a refuge from barbarian invasions, it developed into a powerful maritime Republic that controlled trade routes between the East and the West.

The city is known for its unique system of canals and bridges, as well as impressive landmarks such as St. Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace, which testify to Venice's wealth and historical importance. One of the most notable monuments is the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute, built after a plague epidemic as a symbol of gratitude and faith.

Venice is also home to the famous Carnival, whose tradition dates back to the 11th century. The carnival is renowned for its masks, which erase social boundaries and create a magical atmosphere in the city streets.

Despite modern challenges such as overtourism and flooding, Venice remains a unique city – a symbol of history, culture, art, and unforgettable charm.
