Mediterranean and Adriatic Exploration: Greece, Croatia and Beyond
The experts at National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions and Food & Wine have come together to design an immersive exploration of the cultural and coastal landscapes of Greece, Albania, Croatia and Montenegro. As you journey along these storied shores, the region’s layered history comes to life—ancient empires, maritime traditions and UNESCO-designated treasures from Delphi to Dubrovnik reveal the forces that shaped this crossroads of civilizations. Days unfold at a relaxed rhythm, with time to wander medieval cities, linger in quiet port towns or swim in luminous turquoise waters. Along the way, visit lesser-known islands and coastal villages that offer intimate encounters with regional life, from family-run oyster farms and olive groves to enduring traditions such as sword dancing and silk embroidery.
