About the region

The journey navigates through regions rich in Jewish history and Mediterranean culture. Beginning in Istanbul, travelers are at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, home to the historic Neve Shalom Synagogue and a Jewish community that has thrived for centuries. As the vessel sails toward Izmir and Bodrum, it passes through waters once traversed by Sephardic merchants and scholars. The Greek stops, including Athens and the cosmopolitan island of Mykonos, offer a chance to explore some of the oldest Jewish heritage sites in Europe. This route provides a unique perspective on the Sephardic and Romaniote legacies that have defined these coastal cities for generations.
