Destination Nights Description Price
Cappadocia

Available on all sailings which begin or end in Istanbul.

3 DAY 1: Visit the nation's capital, with sightseeing including Ataturk's Memorial and the world class Museum of Ancient Anatolian Civilizations housed in the beautifully restored 15th century bedesten (covered bazaar).  DAY 2: Rise early for a drive to Cappadocia's provincial capital, stopping en route at a 13th century Caravanserai, a rest house for travelers along the Silk Road.  After a lunch of Turkish specialties, enjoy a tour of Goreme valley with its fantastic fairy chimneys and cones. Shish kebabs, folk music and belly dancing tonight.  DAY 3:  Explore the Goreme Open Air Museum, a monastic complex of rock churches and chapels covered with frescoes.  In the riverside town of Avanos, pottery is the most popular handicraft, and we'll visit one of the studios to see how it's made.  Explore the underground city of Derinkuyu, drive through Soganli, a picturesque valley with innumerable chapels, churches and tombs, and back to the hotel for dinner.  With AEGEAN ODYSSEY, $495 dbl, $575 single.  ALL OTHER CRUISES, $575 dbl, $695 single. (Prices are slightly higher because a third night will be included in Istanbul.) 
Athens 

Available on Greek Isles & Italy, Italy & the Aegean and Aegean & Mediterranean I sailings.

3 On your way to Istanbul you can stop over for three nights in Athens, the ancient Greek capital.  Visit the Acropolis with its architectural wonders:  the Parthenon, the Erechtheion and Temple of Athena Nike.  Wander the cobbled streets of the Plaka with its lively tavernas and colorful shops.  Marvel at classical treasures in teh National Gallery of Art, Archeological Museum and recently reopened Benaki Museum. 

Venture to the Peloponnese Peninsula to walk Delphi's Sacred Way to the Temple of Apollo or view the best preserved theater in the Aegean at Epidaurus.  With three full days here, you'll have time to experience both ancient and modern Greece.

$550 dbl, $750 single.  Prices include first-class hotels and airport transfers.  Air is included only for those passengers who purchase Orient Lines' transatlantic flights.  Available pre-cruise on above itineraries starting in Istanbul.
Madrid

Available on cruises which begin or end in Barcelona

2 While in Spain, why not experience Madrid?  For just a slight additional cost, Orient Lines gives you the option to substitute a two-night stay in the Spanish capital for the Barcelona package already included in your cruise-tour.  

Spain once ruled the world from its elegant capital and you'll see its history unfold on our included sightseeing tour, which features a visit to the famous Prado Museum.  And don't worry about missing the key sights of Barcelona, because we also include a quick sightseeing tour of that city before you fly off to Madrid.

With ROME & THE RIVIERAS and VENETIAN VOYAGE, $125 dbl, $150 single.  With all other cruises, $195 dlb, $250 single.  (Prices are slightly higher because a third night will be included in Istanbul.)
