Itinerary:

  • Day 1 - Oct 8th (Athens):  Arrive and start with an optional private tour of Athens with local guide and Jon & Carol.  Ancient Athens, the birthplace of democracy and epicenter of western civilization, is a city for all eternity.
 
  • Day 2 - Oct 9th (At Sea):  During your time on board, you can choose to relax on a sun lounger or cool off in one of the pools on the top deck, while more adventurous passengers may enjoy the opportunity to climb the rigging or even have a go at steering the ship. Alternatively, you can wander the interior areas of the ship and discover relaxing lounges and a peaceful library.
 
  • Day 3 - Oct 10th (Kusadasi):  Morning sailing through Samos Strait to Kusadasi, Turkey (optional tour - Ephesus).  Kusadasi is a popular Turkish port of callas not only is it a bustling resort town full of shops, bars and restaurants, but it is also the main access point for the famous archeological site at Ephesus.  Near Kusadasi, on Turkey's turquoise coast, we make a stop at Camlimani, a small pellucid bay. Swim at the beach, snorkel, stroll the pine scented grounds, or have a run at the rides in the aquapark.

  • Day 4 - Oct 11th:  Patmos, Greece - This serene island is known as the site of the apocalyptic revelations of St. John the Divine.  The cave where he is said to have lived is now the site of the Monastery of the Apocalypse. It houses priceless icons and manuscripts in its treasury.

  • Day 5 - Oct 12th:  Amorgos, Greece - The cliff-clinging monastery of Hozoviotissas has one of the most spectacular locations of any in Greece. Only a few monks live in the cavernous 50-room monastery, but the view from their terrace aerie might make you think they had all flown to heaven from this very spot.

  • Day 6 - Oct 13th:  Mykonos, Greece - One of the most cosmopolitan of all the Greek Islands, Mykonos is a contrast of rocky hills and beautiful beaches. Hora, the capital, spreads around a colourful harbour, a popular meeting place, overlooked by a variety of tavernas, in which fishing boats nestle side by side with luxury yachts.

  • Day 7 - Oct 14th:  Spetses, Greece - Spetses, an island boasting a long naval tradition, is famous for its significant contribution to the 1821 War of Independence. Admire the grand mansions adorning the narrow cobbled streets of the island. Due to it's rich history there are many attractions worthy of a visit including museums, churches and cathedrals. There are also many beautiful beaches within easy reach where you can soak up the sun or take part in the water sports on offer.

  • Day 8 - Oct 15th:  Piraeus (Port of Athens), Greece
