Explora's name for it: A Journey from the Bosphorus to Venice
The itinerary, port by port
5 calls over 5 nights, Istanbul to Fusina (Venice). Open any port for my full day-ashore guide, what to see, when to go, and how the day actually runs.
Getting there: Flights to Istanbul (IST) are already bookable for these dates. I watch the fare for booked clients so you book at the right moment. When to book your flights →
Istanbul straddles the Bosphorus across two continents, a city layered from Byzantine Constantinople through the Ottoman Empire to the modern Turkish metropolis. Port guide →
Corfu is the greenest of the Ionian islands, and its UNESCO-listed Old Town carries four centuries of Venetian, French, and British rule in its arcaded streets and twin sea fortresses. Port guide →
Kotor is a fortified medieval town wedged at the head of the Bay of Kotor, with stone lanes, Venetian churches, and a mountain wall climbing the cliff behind it. Port guide →
Split is built inside and around the walls of Diocletian's Palace, a Roman emperor's seafront retirement complex from around 300 AD that never became a ruin because people simply kept living in it. Port guide →
Fusina is a cruise terminal on the mainland edge of the Venetian Lagoon, about three miles west of Venice across the water, opened in fall 2024 as ships moved out of the historic city. Port guide →
