Setting sail from Antalya
Antalya is the biggest and busiest city on the Turkish Riviera, a key hub for tourists flocking to the coast, though there's more to this place than just roasting on a beach. The historic Kaleiçi district is full of lovingly restored Ottoman mansions, while the pretty harbour is laid out against the dramatic backdrop of the Taurus Mountains. Top attractions include the superb collection of classical treasures at the Antalya Museum, including pieces from the nearby archaeological sites of Perge and Aspendos.

Greece: Kastellorizou

Turkey: Fethiye
Fethiye is a popular spot on Turkey's beautiful Turquoise Coast, and the harbour is a hub for cruises on board traditional gulet boats. In antiquity this was the site of Telmessos, capital of the ancient Lycians, and the surrounding hillsides are home to several impressive temples hewn from the rock.

14 June
Greece: Symi
Symi was occupied by Italy during the 20th century, a legacy still visible in the neoclassical architecture of the pretty harbour at Gialos. This is a sleepy island that only smaller cruise ships can reach, and the coastline is punctuated by beautiful blue coves and sandy beaches.
15 June
Greece: Patmos
Saint John is said to have written the Book of Revelations in a cave on Patmos, and today the spot is marked by the hillside Monastery of the Apocalypse. As well as spirituality, the island is known for its beaches and upmarket vibe, with a scattering of stylish restaurants and bars.
16 June
Turkey: Cesme
The resort town of Cesme is situated at the western tip of mainland Turkey on the Aegean coast, renowned for its sandy beaches and crystal clear water. The town is well-equipped for tourists, with smart shops, restaurants and thermal spas, and the impressive Genoese castle merits a visit.
17 June
Turkey: Bozcaada
The Aegean island of Bozcaada, also known as Tenedos, is a popular weekend and summer escape for residents of Istanbul. The main settlement, Bozcaada Merkez, has an atmospheric Greek quarter full of colourful houses, while elsewhere on the island you'll find vineyards, beaches and an impressive castle.
18 June - At sea
19 June
Arriving in Istanbul
Istanbul is the place where East meets West, where Asia Minor reaches out across the Bosphorus and almost touches Europe, and the city remains a bristling, bustling cultural melting pot, the skyline dotted with magnificent minarets and domes.
Don't miss
Hagia Sofia, Topkapi Palace, the Blue Mosque, the Basilica Cistern, the Grand Bazaar, the Golden Horn, the Suleiman Mosque, the spice market, the shopping, the museums and galleries and… so much more!

Ways to make it better
Our recommended hotel in Istanbul
We love the intimate Four Seasons at Sultanahmet, but – top Mundy tip! - it is so small that it’s often fully booked, so don’t hang about.
See more of Turkey
Take a few extra days and travel to Cappadocia for the extraordinary Star Wars scenery, rock caves and churches.
