This is the third itinerary in Sherry Hutt's Cruise Through History series, a history book for travelers covering Athens, the Greek islands, Cyprus, Turkey and Israel. Each port gets stories of the rulers, saints, soldiers and benefactors behind its fortresses, shrines, churches and museums, drawn from hundreds of sources and illustrated with hundreds of images and original art. It suits cruise passengers and independent travelers who want context beyond a standard guidebook, and it goes deeper on people and politics than port-by-port guide rivals. Readers who want practical logistics, maps or restaurant tips will find it thin.

Cruise Through History, Itinerary III: Ports of the Eastern Mediterranean is the sixth storybook for travelers in the Cruise Through History series. It covers Athens and the islands of Greece, Cyprus, Turkey and Israel. At each port, the stories follow the people who built the fortresses, palaces, ancient shrines and museums found there.
The stories are distilled from hundreds of source materials. They cover the saints and soldiers who left behind the castles, churches and monuments visited on a typical cruise itinerary. Hundreds of images and original art illustrate the text.
Topics include Melina Mercouri and the Parthenon Museum, Manto Mavrogenous and Jackie Kennedy Onassis in Mykonos, and Empress Zoë at Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. The book also follows the Apostles and the footsteps of Jesus, the Knights of St. John, King Minos on Crete, and the queens of Western Turkey. Archaeologists are the heroes at Troy, Delos and Crete, and the book ends with Lord Byron swimming the Hellespont.
