Day-by-day itinerary
- Day1

Páros
Arrive 09:00 · Depart 20:00

The largest of Greece's Dodecanese islands, off the Turkish coast, with one of Europe's best-preserved medieval walled towns. The Old Town keeps the cobbled Street of the Knights and the Palace of the Grand Master, while Lindos and its acropolis lie down the coast.

Rijeka
Arrive 09:00 · Depart 20:00
Croatia's principal seaport, set where a river valley meets the Kvarner Gulf on the northern Adriatic. A working harbour city with a grand Habsburg-era core, it is crowned by the hilltop Trsat Castle and serves as a gateway to the nearby island of Krk.
