This seductive, volcanic Greek island in the Sea of Crete is famed for its extraordinary black sand beaches and sheer limestone cliffs but Santorini also showcases remnants of the Phoenician, Spartan and Minoan cultures, which fell under the island's spell, an irresistible lure that continues to this day. Fira, the picturesque, pedestrian-only capital, is accessed from the port via a short cable car ride that offers thrilling views as you ascend. From there - and from all around the island - you can bask in the spectacular sea views that the island is famed for. Various optional excursions are offered from here, including a tour of the charming villages that top the cliffs, volcano hikes or Greek cooking classes.

Although connected to the mainland by a causeway, the hump of Monemvasia looming from the sea is an island.

Optional excursions here include a walking tour of the town, a the visit to the ruins of the ancient city of Mystras - a UNESCO World Heritage Site - or a photography tour.

The quiet port of Nydri is the perfect introduction to the island of Lefkada. Here, rolling green hills and pine forests backdrop emerald-green waters, lined by a small village and its palm-dotted promenade. While it’s a simple pleasure to make the most of your luxury ship here, you might also want to head inland through vast olive groves to discover pretty waterfalls or Lefkada Town’s frescoed churches, monasteries and traditional wooden houses. Further afield, the ancient ruins of the once-great ancient city of Nikopolis impress most with its enormous 5,000-seater Roman theatre, while an island-hopping boat tour could take you out through the Princess Islands’ swimming spots.

This important port of Southern Albania curls around its natural harbour, dominated by the hilltop 16th century Lekuresi Castle with its distinctive round towers. In the town centre are the ruins of a 5th century synagogue, later a Christian basilica, with remnant mosaic floors. Another picturesque ruin is the Forty Saints Monastery from the 6th century, which is thought to have been an important pilgrimage site. But the main attraction in southern Albania is the archaeological site of Butrint, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with extensive ruins of communities dating from prehistory, though the Greek and Roman eras, the Byzantine period and the medieval period.
