Day 1 ATHENS, GREECE – EMBARKATION IN PIRAEUS

We strongly recommend arriving at least one day early in order to avoid complications which can arise due to flight delays, or other issues. We are happy to make arrangements, including multi-day explorations of Athens and Greece.

A city of legend, civilization and enduring culture, Athens is a majestic and magical urban sprawl. Extraordinary elegance and grace combine with grit and graft in Greece’s capital, where highways encase ruins from antiquity, and gleaming museums and galleries stand beside concrete sprayed with edgy street art. These contrasts enhance and elevate the wonders of this 2,500-year-old city, however, which can count notable contributions to philosophy, drama and democracy, among its global legacy. The majestic ancient citadel of the Acropolis dominates an elevated platform and is a constant presence as you explore the city. The wonderful remains of the columned temple of the Parthenon – which date back to the 5th century BC – stand here, representing the pinnacle of classical architecture.
Day 2 AGHIOS NIKOLAOS, CRETE

Set on the east of the Greek island Crete, Aghios Nikolaos is a place of legend and luxury. Pastel-colored houses jostle attractively around the pretty harbor and inky lake, while busy restaurants and cafes spill out onto its lively waterfront.
Day 3 RHODES, GREECE

With an endless sun-soaked season, earthy history and vibrant culture, the island of Rhodes has it all. At the crossroads between continents, and sandwiched between Crete and Turkey’s coastline, Rhodes has swayed between many mighty civilizations throughout its tumultuous history.
Day 4 MARMARIS, TURKEY

Marmaris boasts beachside buzz and reams of ancient history. The city itself is a lively affair, with a scenic old town that hums with holidaymakers. Head into the city, to explore a tight-knit knot of streets where drinks are shared and music blares.
Day 5 KUSADASI, TURKEY

Explore the towering columns, and storied remains of Ephesus – one of the most spectacular cities left by the Ancient Greeks. Kusadasi welcomes you to the Turkish coastline and is your base for exploring these majestic remains, which sit just 10 miles inland from the port. The Ephesus UNESCO World Heritage Site is a true archaeological gold mine, and an amazingly well-preserved site – once home to 150,000 people.
Day 6 DIKILI (IZIMIR), TURKEY

Arrival in Dikili is like arriving in an Aegean postcard. Not only does it boast blue flag beaches, limpid turquoise seas and healing waters (the town’s thermal springs are world famous), but a good deal of historical texture as well. This will come as great news for history fans.
Days 7-8 ISTANBUL, TURKEY

A chaotic, colossal collision of east and west – start your day in Europe and end it in Asia, all without breaking a sweat. An army of narrow minarets puncture the skyline, while the soaring towers of palaces and labyrinths of bazaars – where bargains are the reward for brave hagglers – fill up this dynamic city of 15 million people. With a rich portfolio of Byzantine and Ottoman architecture, Istanbul enjoys one of the world’s most dynamic skylines and has an intense, infectious energy.
Day 9 AT SEA - DARDANELLES
Day 10 THESSALONIKI, GREECE

Thessaloniki has seen the rise and fall of many civilizations: Macedonian, Hellenic, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and that of the Jews and the modern Greeks. Each of its successive conquerors has plundered, razed, and buried much of what went before.
Day 11 MYKONOS, GREECE

Indulge in idyllic island life, as you take your fill of superb foods and wines, and soak in endless views of sweeping turquoise seascapes and pretty whitewash buildings. Mykonos has managed to retain the enduring, exclusive allure that first drew celebrities like Brigitte Bardot to its star-studded shores.
Day 12 PIRAEUS - ATHENS - DISEMBARK

Transfer to Athens airport, or add tours to learn more of this magic land.
