Venice (Fusina) to Athens (Piraeus)

Personal butler service, premium wines, complimentary Wi-Fi and included gratuities belong to the Silversea standard. Late August brings still high-summer water temperatures and long, warm evenings to the Adriatic. The route suits guests wishing to experience two Mediterranean cultural realms in late summer.
Route highlights
- Departure from the lagoon of Venice
- Transition from the Adriatic into the Aegean Sea
- Premium all-inclusive service aboard Silver Nova
- Late summer with warm evenings

-
WED · 25 Aug 2027KoperArrival 08:00 Departure 19:00
Koper is Slovenia's only seaport and a small Venetian gem: the Loggia, the Praetorian Palace and the cathedral square bear witness to a rich history as Capodistria. Excursions reach the medieval old town of Piran in just a few minutes.
-
THU · 26 Aug 2027RovinjArrival 08:00 Departure 21:00
Rovinj is the most romantic Adriatic town in Istria: Venetian Old Town houses on a peninsula, crowned by the Church of St Euphemia. On a clear day, you can see all the way to Venice from its tower.
-
FRI · 27 Aug 2027ZadarArrival 08:00 Departure 19:00
Zadar on the Croatian Adriatic coast has Roman roots. The Sea Organ (waves create music through built-in pipes) and the "Greeting to the Sun" (300 solar-powered glass panels) at the waterfront are modern art installations of world renown.
-
SAT · 28 Aug 2027HvarArrival 08:00 Departure 19:00
Hvar is Croatia's sunniest island (2,800 hours of sunshine a year). Its medieval capital, Hvar Town, and the lavender fields inland make it one of the most elegant addresses on the Adriatic. Above the town stands the 16th-century Venetian fortress Fortica (Španjola) - the climb rewards you with a sweeping view over the red rooftops, the harbour and the Pakleni islands. In the evening the harbour turns into an open-air stage, and the legendary Carpe Diem club on the Riva is Hvar's glamorous heart. Just offshore lies the Pakleni island of Sveti Klement with Palmižana marina, whose centrepiece is an open-air art gallery in the subtropical Meneghello garden; a tender or ferry makes it easy to hop between Hvar Town and Palmižana.
-
SUN · 29 Aug 2027DubrovnikArrival 08:00 Departure 23:30
The "Pearl of the Adriatic" is one of Europe's best-preserved medieval cityscapes and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. The mighty 13th-century city walls can be walked all the way round - offering panoramic views of the Adriatic and the Dalmatian islands.

-
WED · 01 Sep 2027GythionArrival 08:00 Departure 19:00
Gythion (Gythio) on the Mani peninsula of the Peloponnese once served as Sparta's port. The picturesque pastel-coloured houses along the harbour, the islet of Cranae (mythological love nest of Paris and Helen before their flight to Troy) and the Cycladic atmosphere make Gythion an unsung beauty of southern Greece.
-
THU · 02 Sep 2027MilosArrival 08:00 Departure 19:00
Milos owes its shape to its volcanic past, and the evidence is everywhere: at Sarakiniko, wind and water have polished the rock into a moon-white landscape unlike anywhere else in the Aegean. In 1820 a farmer here unearthed the Aphrodite of Milos, known the world over as the Venus de Milo and now in the Louvre. In the fishing village of Klima the syrmata run down to the water, brightly painted boathouses where the fishing boats once wintered. More than 70 coves, each tinted a different shade of volcanic rock, make Milos the most varied of the Cyclades.

In the Adriatic, Silver Nova's asymmetric layout proves an advantage: every suite has a different angle on the Dalmatian coast.
