Greece Intensive Voyage

Itinerary highlights

Athens (Port of Piraeus)

Greece's capital and its largest city was born atop the Acropolis, where ancient warrior-kings once dwelled. These ruins are a testament to the golden age of Greece, and the Parthenon is considered the most architecturally sophisticated temples of its time. Ancient Agora, a sprawling array of stones, slabs and foundations, was once the focal point of ancient Greek life.

Aghios Nikolaos  (Crete)

Crete is both a beach paradise and home to some of the country s premier archaeological finds and attractions. Visit Greece and tour the Palace at Knossos, built by the Minoans more than 4,000 years ago, before exploring the Archaeological Museum, where the treasures of Knossos - including sculptures, jewelry and mosaics are exhibited.

Rhodes

Rhodes, Greece offers over 300 days of sunshine a year with an east coast abound with pristine sandy beaches. The old town of Rhodes is considered the largest inhabited medieval town in Europe, and its mighty fortifications are a splendid example of the defensive architecture of its time. The Acropolis of Lindos, in eastern Rhodes, is a must-see archaeological site.

Kusadasi

This charming, Turkish resort is reputed as one of the most attractive cities on the Aegean Sea. It is known for the ancient ruins of Ephesus - one of the world's most wondrous archaeological sites. Other historical masterpieces include the Great Amphitheatre, where St. Paul addressed the Ephesians, the Selcuk castle, and the tombs of the Seven Sleepers.

Patmos

One of the smallest of the Dodecanese Islands, Patmos is an island steeped in political and religious history. During the 1st century AD, St. John was exiled to Patmos for preaching Christianity. He established a Christian colony here and wrote the Book of Revelations.

Mykonos

Nestled in the heart of Greece's Cyclades archipelago, Mykonos pulses with irrepressible energy. With its powder white houses, sparkling blue waters, and red-hot nightlife, The Island of the Winds is as colorful as the people who call the island home.
