Yes, but it is not simple.

One way to do it, (which is the wrong way), is to get directions
between the two endpoints and then loop each vertex of the returned
polyline and reverse geocode it, but that will get you banned very
quickly.

The right way to do it is to build your own database of cities for the
area you want to cover, get directions between the two end points,
read the returned polyline and send it to the server, and on the
server side compare the points in the route with the locations of the
cities in your database.
That would be done differently depending on whether you represented
your cities as points or as polygons in the database.
