Athens & The Acropolis

Ancient Olympia

Experience the famous site of Olympia, one of the most important sanctuaries of antiquity, dedicated to the father of the Olympian Zeus and birth-place of the Olympic Games! The sanctuary of Olympia spreads around the green wooded feet of the Kronion Hill, where the rivers Alpheios and Cladeos meet. Here you will walk with your guide and learn interesting facts about Ancient Greece and the Games. Thereafter you will proceed on foot to the Archaeological Museum, which is one of the most important of its kind in Greece and hosts an impressive collection of artefacts. The new museum was constructed in 1975, and eventually opened in 1982, re-exhibiting its treasures. Following some time here you will join your coach for a drive back to your ship.

Kourouta Beach

Sunscreen, sunglasses and your swimsuit are all you’ll need for this one because the whole trip revolves around the beach. We’ll pick you up from the port of Katakolon and drive for about 30 minutes until we reach the Blue Flag Kourouta beach. You’ll have three hours to spend on this beautiful stretch of golden sands. Take a dip in the turquoise seas or just lie back and take it easy before we pick you up and take you back to the ship.

Domaine Mercouri Winery

This high-spirited trip will take you to the Mercouri Winery, near Pyrgos. This place has been producing wine for 150 years and the secrets of the grape have been handed down through 4 generations of the same family. This experience begins with a walk around the estate. The vineyards and olive groves radiate out for 45 acres. Peacocks strut through the gardens and ivy climbs the stone walls of the main buildings. Once you’ve seen the cellars and the vines, you’ll head into the old engine room to taste some of the winery’s produce for yourself. Fifteen different grape varieties are used to produce a portfolio of 13 different reds, whites and roses. You’ll get to swig a couple of them. To bring out the flavour in the wine, you’ll be able to tuck into a selection of Greek meze, too. Drinks are paired with canapés of local cheese, olive oil and oregano, and bowls of plump olives.

Transfer to Glyfada Beach

Glyfada Beach is a Blue Flag strip of sand on Corfu’s west coast. You’ll have four hours to enjoy it during this trip. The soft, golden sand unravels into a crystal-clear lagoon. While behind it, dramatic, tree-peppered cliffs tower over a smattering of shops and restaurants. You can be as relaxed or active as you like – top up your tan as you lie on a sunlounger*, or get stuck in with watersports*. There’s windsurfing, waterskiing and pedal boats up for grabs.

Corfu Bike Tour

For a different way of exploring a port of call, try one of our bike tours. This way, you can really get to know a destination and see the places that bus tours can't reach. You'll be led around by a guide, who'll give you the lowdown on all the sights.

The Sea Caves of Paleokastritsa

Explore Greece’s answer to Italy’s island of Capri today, as you delve into the colourful caves of Paleokastritsa. After a 30-minute boat trip along Corfu’s cove-speckled north coast, you’ll make a beeline for the three most popular grottos – Nafsika, St Nicholas and Blue Eye. Thanks to a combination of natural minerals and sunlight, the caves light up with shades of turquoise – perfectly matching the azure blue waters that Greece is famous for. Don’t put your camera away just yet, as afterwards you’ll pay a visit to the Byzantine Monastery of Agia Paraskevi – it’s home to just three nuns. Finally, you’ll be treated to the best viewpoint in town – Bella Vista – and then have some free time in the old town.

Highlights of Montenegro

The port of Kotor finds a home on the world’s southernmost fjord - or the ‘Bride of the Adriatic’, as it’s also known. As places go, it’s beautiful. Think blue seas. A stony shore. Green mountains. All drenched in the heavenly scent of lemons, oranges, mimosas and camellias. And here’s your chance to explore this gorgeous part of the world. First you’ll stop at the mountain village of Njegusi to taste the region’s delicious smoked ham and cheese. Stomach full, you’re ready for Cetinje. Known as the ‘Valley of Gods’, it was once the smallest European capital and it’s filled to bursting with beautiful buildings. Here you'll visit the King Nikola's palace before having some free time to stroll around. Next you’re off to Budva - the most popular tourist destination on Montenegro’s map. And quite rightly so. Beautiful architecture meets seductive sandy beaches in this spot. Perhaps that’s why lots of millionaires decide to live here. Want to join them?

Walking Tour of Kotor

When a town is two thousand years old like Kotor there are plenty of stories to tell. Its ancient Roman beginnings. Its Middle Ages struggle of ownership between Goths, Saracens and Serbians. Its Venetian past. With a history like this, it’s no surprise Kotor has got itself a place on the UNESCO World Heritage List. And what better way to explore it than with a guided walking tour? In every stone of its timeworn walls, on every fresco painting and every hidden alley, you’ll relive its glorious past. The old town centre is still really well preserved and the criss-crossed narrow streets and squares have monuments at every corner. From Prince’s Palace and Napoleon’s Theatre to the most recognisable symbol of the city - the Romanesque Cathedral of Saint Tryphon – you’ll be mesmerised from the word go. And how many towns in this part of the world have preserved their fortifications from the Middle Ages? Not many. But Kotor is one of the few. The chunky walls surrounding the old town are impressive to say the least - at some places they reach 20 metres in height and 16 metres in thickness. If you don’t believe us, you’ll have plenty of time to measure them in the free time you’ll get here. Have we given you enough reasons to join our guided visit to Kotor? We think so.

Traditional Kotor

The olive farm starring on this trip is perched on the Bay of Kotor. Spectacular scenery comes as standard in these parts, thanks to the huge expanse of water mirroring the surrounding mountains. Pretty villages speckle the coastline and – after stopping to take a quick photo of the bay – we’ll reach a small peninsula called Luštica, home to a farm owned by the Moric family. A welcome drink in the 900-tree-strong olive grove marks the start of the tour, during which your guide will reveal all about the family’s artisan style of olive cultivation, harvest and production. We’ll then wander towards the village of Tići, checking out the old and new mills on the way. The best is saved for last – you’ll get to taste-test the family’s extra virgin olive oils alongside a spread of homemade breads, seasonal fruit and local brandy. To top things off, the day will finish with a whistle stop tour of Kotor.

ADD a stay to your cruise in Croatia, Croatia

Croatia turned up on the UK’s tourism timeline fashionably late. In fact, it was only in the late 90s that the country started to find its feet in the mainstream market. And that means lots of the country is yet to be discovered by the masses. Take, Kvarner Bay, for instance. It’s one of Croatia’s best-kept secrets, and lines up sandy beaches, the historic town of Opatija and a collection of easy-to-explore islands.

To book your Cruise & Stay holiday, you’ll need to select Cruise & Stay as part of your search. Once you’ve chosen your itinerary, you can then choose one of our properties, which range from luxurious TUI BLUE SENSATORI resorts and our adults-only TUI BLUE collection options to budget-friendly TUI SUNEO hotels.
