Day-by-day itinerary

Delos

A Cycladic island in the Aegean known for whitewashed houses and a lively summer scene. Ships anchor off the main town, where windmills overlook the sea, the Little Venice quarter meets the waves and sandy beaches stretch along the south coast.

- Ionian coves

Sarandë
A coastal town in southern Albania on the Ionian Sea, facing the Greek island of Corfu across a narrow strait. Its curved bay and beaches anchor the town, and the ancient ruins of Butrint lie a short way down the coast.
