Cruise Itinerary
The Seabourn Encore sails on July 18, 2025 for a 9 Night Ephesus & Greek Isles (Athens To Istanbul). The ship will depart the port of Piraeus (Athens), Greece at 5:00 PM and will return to the port of Istanbul, Turkey on Jul 27th at 7:00 AM. During the 10-day journey, the Seabourn Encore will visit 8 additional ports and will spend 1 days at sea.
Piraeus is the seaport for Athens, the capital of western civilization, which boasts a fantastic mix of classical ruins and vivacious modern life. In a single day, you can climb the hill of the Acropolis to wonder at the Parthenon, join the lively Athenians in Constitution Square, and then find a welcoming taverna for some spirited bizouki music, plenty of ouzo to drink, and with luck, energetic Greek dancing.
Gythios is a small seaside town south of Sparta on the Peloponnesian peninsula. Home to some 2,000 year-round residents, Gythios expands tenfold during the summer months as sun worshippers from around the world flock to the beaches. Favorite local attractions include seaside cafes that serve up local specialties, and an ancient theater where the plays of Aeschylus and Sophocles are performed.
With its steep volcanic flanks looming straight up from the sea, and the tiny white village of Thira clinging high atop the cliffs, Santorini is perhaps the most breathtaking and legendary of all the Greek Isles. To the south is Akrotiri, where recent Minoan excavations support the theories that Santorini might be the fabled lost continent of Atlantis.
The narrow passageways of Mykonos are a twisted maze of whitewashed houses, miniature churches, lazy windmills, and tiny cafes serving up Greek specialties. Sample the freshest squid or lobster just snatched from the blue Aegean Sea, or shop for typical flokati rugs.
This charming, picturesque resort where Antony and Cleopatra used to vacation is best known as the port for the ancients ruins of Ephesus - one of the world's most wondrous archaeological sites. Explorations should include such masterpieces as the Great Amphitheatre, where St. Paul addressed the Ephesians, the Library of Celsus, and the temples of Athena and Apollo - all connected by marble streets rutted by the wheels of countless chariots.
Take advantage of the many on board activites during your day at sea. You'll have more than enough to fill your day!
Once called Constantinople, the former capital of the Byzantine Empire is the only city in the world to straddle two continents: Europe and Asia. This is the Golden Horn, the door between East and West, and your first vision of its domes and minarets is unforgetable. Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Sultan treasures in Topkapi Palace await - as does the Grand Bazaar, laden with carpets, beaten brass and spices from afar.
