Piraeus/Athens, Greece | - | 18:00 | |
![]() |
Piraeus port is the gateway to Athens center. Don't miss the Parthenon, the temple to Athena which looms over Athens from its perch atop the Acropolis, an eternal icon of art and civilization. Completed in 438 B.C., the temple still astounds as the flowering of Greek art and architecture. When you come down off the hill, don't miss a visit to the Ancient Agora, Syntagma Square, the Acropolis Museum and the city's historic centre, around Plaka. Ideally, sit and relax at a cafe on the foot of the hill, sample some Greek souvlaki or a frappe, take a glance back up the hill from time to time and give the goddess her due. |

Rhodes is an enchanting island that shines green and white, surrounded by the blue waters of the eastern Aegean. It is strewn with small towns and was merely one of the most glorious cities of antiquity, the world- renowned Island of the Knights. The Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, stood more than 100 feet high at the edge of the harbor, before an earthquake toppled it in 226 B.C. Of the statue, nothing remains, but Rhodes Old Town, a World Heritage Site, remains one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Europe and a place of pilgrimage for cruise travelers. Stroll along the medieval streets and the wonderful fortifications, walk along the Street of the Knights and visit the Palace of the Knights. |

Agios Nikolaos is the capital of Lasithi Prefecture and an international resort that attracts thousands of visitors annually. It is located in the natural harbor of Mirabello, a name that derives from the words "mira bella", which characterize the magnificent view to the sea. Agios Nikolaos took its name from the small byzantine church which dates from the 7th century. It thrived during the Venetian rule (12-13nth century). The city's marvel is the Lagoon, which connects with the sea through a small canal, while the surrounding red rocks and lush trees create a unique atmosphere. You can stroll along the shops and local crafts stores or relax at the numerous cafes and tavernas, sip a "raki" with the locals and enjoy the view. |

Santorini, Greece | 07:00 | 00:00 | |
![]() |
Santorini is essentially what remains of an enormous volcanic explosion dated back 3,600 years (between 1627- 1600 BC) and which created the current geological caldera: a giant central lagoon, more or less rectangular, measuring about 12 by 7 km. The effect is still explosive: 300-m-high steep cliffs on three sides rise from sea level, cubic white houses surrounded by pink bougainvilleas glow in the Aegean sun. The wild beauty, the fascinating Caldera, the gold sunset, of the Number 1 destination in Greece will steal your heart away! |
