The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Ascend the dizzying heights of Pergamon's Acropolis and walk the sacred healing halls of the Asclepion — two UNESCO-calibre sites in one immersive private day. This is ancient Greece and Rome alive in the hills above Bergama.
Explore the thunderous Red Basilica — one of the largest Roman temples in Anatolia — then lose yourself in Bergama's labyrinthine Ottoman bazaar streets with a private local guide. History, craft, and flavour distilled into a perfect half-day.
Drift through the cobblestoned Greek-Ottoman lanes of Cunda Island and the olive-scented waterfront of Ayvalık — the Aegean at its most photogenic and flavour-rich. A private tour with a local guide who knows every hidden terrace and artisan.
Board a traditional Turkish gulet for an exclusive private half-day sail along Dikili's turquoise coastline — secluded coves, crystalline swimming stops, and lunch served on deck with the Aegean spread before you.
Stand inside one of the best-preserved Genoese castles on the Turkish Aegean, then wander the sleepy fishing village of Çandarlı — a place of extraordinary charm that almost no cruise passenger ever visits.
Soak in the legendary thermal springs near Bergama — used since antiquity as a healing retreat — then visit the extraordinary submerged Roman spa city of Allianoi, a site of global archaeological significance few travellers ever witness.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
