City days in Paris and Venice bookending a Royal Caribbean run through Athens, Mykonos, Santorini & Split
A Mediterranean two-in-one: a couple of city days in Paris and Venice on either side of a Royal Caribbean Greek Islands sailing that calls at Athens, Mykonos, Santorini and Split. Fly into Paris, ferry-and-shuttle onto the ship in Venice, and let the Aegean do the rest.

In from Kelowna and straight into the classics — the Louvre, Notre-Dame, the Eiffel Tower and a Seine river cruise — based at the Hôtel Londres Saint-Honoré before an early hop to Italy.
An early CDG→Venice flight and a shuttle into the city bought us a few hours in the canals before boarding the ship — just enough for St Mark’s and a first spritz.
The first Greek port: a walking tour of ancient Athens and the Acropolis, the Parthenon crowning the city.
A self-guided wander through Mykonos’ whitewashed lanes and windmills, then the showstopper — Santorini, with a trip up to Pyrgos Village and a mezes-and-wine tasting above the caldera.
The itinerary’s Adriatic bonus: a Cetina River cruise paired with a Split highlights tour through Diocletian’s Palace, before sailing back to Venice and flying home via Paris.
