THE MINOAN CIVILISATION
Cruise: Athens to Rome Duration: 14 days Date: 19-Mar-2012 MEDITERRANEAN, AEGEAN, ADRIATIC & BLACK SEA
This journey to Athens, Crete, Malta and Sicily not only offers you the opportunity to visit some of the greatest sites of antiquity but also to the possibility to enjoy some much needed spring sunshine. The usually good weather points to the importance that climate played in the development of the great classical civilisations: the short, mild winters and long, warm summers created the perfect conditions for these remarkable societies to thrive. Includes 2 nights pre-cruise stay in Athens
