Corfu
Arrive 13:30 · Depart 20:00
An Ionian island off Greece's northwest coast, greener and more Venetian-feeling than the Aegean isles. Ships call at its old town, a UNESCO-listed warren of Italianate streets between two hilltop fortresses, with pebbly coves around the shore.

Bari
Arrive 08:00
A port city on Italy's Adriatic coast, the regional capital of Puglia at the country's southeastern heel. Its old quarter winds around the basilica of San Nicola, and home cooks hand-roll orecchiette pasta in the narrow lanes.
