Why Sail from Athens to Italy?

The terraced villages of the Amalfi Coast, the canals of Venice, and the trove of ancient architecture that is but one facet of Rome... all represent Italia! In Pompei, you can visit Pompeii Scavi, and find yourself walking on pavement stones set back when time was measured in "B.C." Not eating in Italy is akin to forgetting to breathe, and you'll find food distinct to the various regions of this country. Life is celebrated here with wine and song. The piazzas, where Italian families often meet at days' end, are just as practical as they are beautiful; for here is where the news and gossip has most often been exchanged for centuries. Whether you're eating the best pizza you will ever hope to taste in Napoli, or gazing for yourself at that famed Tuscan sun, in all likelihood you really will treasure every moment you are in the fascinating, beautiful country!

Tips for Athens Cruises to Italy

When is the best time to Sail to Italy from Athens?

From a weather perspective, the best time to sail to Italy is from November through June. The climate of Italy is highly diverse and can be far from the stereotypical Mediterranean climate, depending on location. Most of the inland northern regions of Italy, for example Piedmont, Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna, have a climate of harsh winters and hot summers. The coastal areas of Liguria and most of the peninsula south of Florence generally fit the Mediterranean stereotype. Conditions on peninsular coastal areas can be very different from the interior's higher ground and valleys, particularly during the winter months when the higher altitudes tend to be cold, wet, and often snowy. The coastal regions have mild winters and warm and generally dry summers, although lowland valleys can be quite hot in summer.

Prices tend to be highest when kids are out of school. Christmas, Summer and Spring Break often have peak pricing.
