Route

Day	Travel station	Arrival	Departure
1.	Trieste (Italy) Departure: 19:00		19:00
	Trieste has an extremely picturesque setting, framed as it is by the sea and the mountains on the northern Adriatic. Narrow streets line the old town. At the Piazza Unità d'Italia, the heart of the city and the traditional meeting place for the people of Trieste, you can see impressive neoclassical buildings; in contrast, the ancient monuments of the town can be found in Colle di San Giusto. At the foot of this mountain you can visit the baroque church Santa Maria Maggiore. The San Giusto cathedral is the town's most important symbol, while the waterside promenades are the perfect place for a stroll. Sights include: Duino castle, the huge caves, the remnants of the city wall and the Roman heart of the town, the marine aquarium, the victory lighthouse and the old stock exchange.
2.	Split (Croatia) Arrival: 09:00 Departure: 18:00	09:00	18:00
	The old town of the Mediterranean port of Split on the eastern Adriatic coast in Dalmatia has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. The heart of Croatia's second-largest city beats in the walls of the 1,500-year-old Diocletian palace. Even upon entering the port, Split presents itself at its best: the palm-lined waterside promenade in front of the Emperor's palace and the rooftops of the old town create a truly unique panorama. Sights include: the medieval old town, Diocletian Palace, the waterside promenade Riva, the Archaeological Museum, the Municipal Art Gallery, the Goldern Gate, the cathedral and the old town hall.
3.	At Sea

4.	Piraeus / Athens (Greece) Arrival: 08:00 Departure: 18:00 Excursion tips (3)	08:00	18:00
	Piraeus, today a modern port town, has been Athens' port since ancient times and used to be connected with the capital by means of city walls. Only remnants of these wall remain. Piraeus has made a name for itself primarily on account of its appealing nightlife and the romantic fish restaruants by the sea. Sights include: the ancient harbour Zea Marina, the remnants of the long walls (5th century B.C.), the Archaeological Museum with ancient shipwrecks, statues of Apollo and Athena, the Hellenic Marine Museum and the Veakio Theatre.
5.	Izmir (Turkey) Arrival: 08:00 Departure: 17:00	08:00	17:00
	Lovingly referred to by the Turks as "beautiful Izmir", the town lies at the opening of a broad gulf, busy with ships and yachts. Behind the palm-lined waterside promenade the city is built in terraces up the slopes of the surrounding mountains. The Jewish quarter 'Asansör' has many lovingly restored houses. The Archaeological Museum not far from Konak square has an excellent collection of ancient works of art. The Hisar mosque is the largest and most important in the city.
6.	Istanbul (Turkey) Arrival: 10:00 Excursion tips (3)	10:00
	A world city with a unique character. A city filled with beauty and contrast, with a breathtaking history - from Byzantium to Constantinople to the present day. But Istanbul has more to offer than culture - inexpensive shopping, oriental cuisine or meeting new people are just examples of the many things one can do here. The city is full of buildings, monuments, churches and mosques, all steeped in history.
