Itinerary is subjest of change Arrival and departure times may vary slightly.
Instead of the Western Mediterranean, we have chosen to sail the Aegean, area rich with ancient treasures of Western culture. Our cruise starts in the bustling Greek capital city of Athens, then to the one of the most historical places - Troy, to get an impression of the most famous battle of antiquity. Crete attracts not only with other mythological impressions, but also with stunning countryside and countless enchanting beaches. Of course, the two dream islands of Santorini and Mykonos are on the program. In both places we stay overnight to enjoy the Greek way of life alone, or to dive into the pulsating night life.
Athens (Lavrion), Greece At the southeastern edge of Attica, where the region begins to "fade," lies the city of Lavrion. The "second" port of Athens, after Piraeus, Lavrion is an ancient silver mining center and a bustling port for ferries and cruise ships. The city's silver mines date back to the 3rd millennium B.C. and were in operation until the 6th century B.C. The mining of silver was one of the main sources of income for the city-state of Athens, and proceeds from mining were used to fund the Athenian fleet. When the Athenians began minting silver coins in the 6th century B.C., they used silver from Lavrio to stamp their renowned "Lavrion owls."
Rhodes, Greece
Rhodes, the largest of Greece’s Dodecanese islands, is known for its beach resorts, ancient ruins and remnants of its occupation by the Knights of St. John during the Crusades. The city of Rhodes has an Old Town featuring the medieval Street of the Knights and the castlelike Palace of the Grand Masters. Captured by the Ottomans and then held by the Italians, the palace is now a history museum.
With its bright green hills, rich green valleys and uninterrupted line of golden beaches, Rhodes is truly a blessed place.
Crete (Chania), Greece The westernmost side of Crete, Chania is a wonderful place to visit. Chania, a place where different civilizations have flourished throughout the centuries. Wandering around the Old Town's maze-like alleys with the beautiful Venetian mansions, the fountains and the elaborate churches will help you discover well-preserved historical monuments.
Due to the long history and rich culture, the region of Chania keeps evident its traditional architecture. A walk in the Old Town with the intense Medieval architecture is a walk back in time. The Venetian port of Chania Town is the most characteristic spot of western Crete. Holidays in Chania combines relaxation in amazing beaches, historical visits and experience of authentic life.
Santorini, Greece Santorini is the most popular island in Greece. It may be the most popular island in the world. There are few travel destinations that combine beautiful beaches, spectacular scenery, ancient cities, amazing restaurants, some of the world's best wine, and an active volcano. But Santorini has all this and more.
Santorini may well have conquered a corner of your imagination before you've even set eyes on it. With multicoloured cliffs soaring over 300m from a sea-drowned caldera, it rests in the middle of the indigo Aegean, looking like a giant slab of layered cake. When the sun sets, the reflection on the buildings and the glow of the orange and red in the cliffs can be truly spectacular.
Nafplio, Greece One of the most beautiful towns in the area of Argolis (in eastern Peloponnese) as well as one of the most romantic cities all over Greece, Nafplio was the first capital of the newly born Greek state between 1823 and 1834. According to mythology, the town was founded by Náfplios, the son of god Poseidon and the daughter of Danaus (Danaida) Anymone. The town’s history traces back to the prehistoric era when soldiers from here participated in the Argonautic expedition and the Trojan War alike.
Mykonos, Greece Mykonos is the great glamour island of Greece and happily flaunts its sizzling St-Tropez-meets-Ibiza style and party-hard reputation.
The 86-square-kilometre island is the hotspot of gay tourism in the Mediterranean. Hard to say what came first, the party culture or the homosexual guests. While there are water sports and romantic bays, but the focus is clearly on the bars and clubs.
If you want you can dance until the early hours of the morning in the bars and clubs because our ship will stay in Mykonos overnight. Optionally the disembarkation can be done here without returning to Athens, so there is the possibility to extend the vacation on Mykonos.
