3-day Cruise "Idyllic Aegean - 3 Greek Islands & Turkey"

Ports of Call


The Acropolis in Athens
  The cruise departs from and returns to:
 Athens, Greece:
 Capital of Greece, cradle of democracy, birthplace of Western Civilization - Athens is a vibrant city where the ancient and the modern co-exist. The majestic Acropolis with Parthenon rises above the city, its ancient glory still visible in the timeworn stone, and the National Archaeological Museum holds countless treasures from Athens' Golden Age.


Mykonos, Greece:
 This cosmopolitan and picturesque island is well known for its graphic paved streets with hundreds of boutiques and Cycladic art shops. Beneath the sophisticated surface of Mykonos lies a quintessential Greek Island. Hundreds of tiny chapels dot the island and sheep graze in the shadow of white-washed windmills. Find a table on the waterfront and bask in the serenity of sunset over the picturesque harbor.

Ancient Ephessos in Kusadasi
  Kusadasi (Ephessos), Turkey:
 A tour to nearby Ephessos should not be missed, for here history truly comes to life. Walking towards the ancient harbor, down a marble road rutted by the wheels of countless chariots, you pass architectural masterpieces like the Magnesian Gate and the Library of Celsus before arriving at the Great Amphitheater where St. Paul was arrested and cast out of the city.


Samos, Greece:
 Untamed, virgin beauty characterizes the island of Samos (the 8th largest Greek island). Practically a stone’s throw away from the coast of Asia Minor, the island of Pythagoras, Epicurus, Aristarchus and possibly Aesop, gracefully balances between the wooded forests and the natural waterfalls, wetlands and smooth beaches. Earth and water in perfect harmony. Thanks to its blessed, rich vegetation and crystal clear fountains, in antiquity Samos was called “Hydrele”, meaning “waterful” in Ancient Greek. Samos is a very fertile island, which produces oil and fruit, famed wine and ouzo.

The island of Milos
  Milos, Greece:
 Milos was the destination of the first known travel in the world in the open sea. Bold navigators 8000 years BC covered a distance of almost 100 NM and reached Milos, where they discovered a hard volcanic rock, called "opsidianos". Many small and big colourful sandy beaches, marine caves and extraordinary forms of volcanic activy, are responsible for the explosion of tourism in Milos. The history, the legends and the tradition meet the breathtaking beauty of this island, and they compose an ideal destination for relaxation.
