August 4 Departing Istanbul bound for Venice

We’re packed and waiting to go! From sublime Istanbul to Venice the Serenissima - sounds exotic and I know it will be - through the Dardanelles and Corinth Canal and up the Dalmatian and Croatian coast to Venice - the Serenissima. Where we’ll stay for a few days in the Dorsoduro area.

I heard our ship arrive about 6am this morning. We could see her from the rooftop of our hotel hiding behind the trees
Our route
Le Lyrial a neat little ship (compared to most). Built in Italy about 7 years ago.
The new underground terminal. It's massive, needs to be to deal with the cruise ship traffic in Athens
Boarding our ship
