Port of Call #1: Rhodes

This Greek island just off the coast of Turkey exudes beauty and history. Take a walking tour of the old fortified city and stand in awe of the impressive Grand Master's Palace. See where the Colossus of Rhodes, a onetime Wonder of the World, once stood and savor the charm of this remarkable walled town. Along the scenic coast lies the whitewashed town of Lindos with its ancient acropolis and stunning views.

 

Port of Call #2: Bodrum

Bodrum defines what makes the Aegean coast of Turkey so amazing. The ruins of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, are said to have provided some of the building materials for Bodrum Castle. Hidden within the medieval fortress is an Underwater Archaeology Museum featuring exhibits on shipwrecks and Turkish nautical history. When you're not relaxing on the beautiful beaches, take a walk down Cumhuriyet Street, aka Bodrum Bar Street, to enjoy the many shops, clubs, and street food vendors.

 

Port of Call #3: Mykonos

Mykonos is a classic Greek island with whitewashed houses, blue-domed churches and windmills. Add a reputation for beautiful beaches and you'll understand why Mykonos is the most popular island in the Cyclades. Explore the island in a 4 x 4 or take a ferry to the tiny island of Delos.

 

Port of Call #4: Paros

Considered one of Greece's best kept secrets, Paros is situated in the heart of the Clycades. The Greek Isle's iconic white marble was once mined here, which you can marvel at while strolling through the island's picturesque towns. Most any Greek Isle daydream you've had can be found in Paros. Wineries, pristine beaches, turquoise waters, delicious local cuisine and historic sites dot the island. Or take to the water for some surfing, kayaking, windsurfing and more while enjoying a different view of its incredible coastline.

 

Athens & Piraeus Open Air Sightseeing Tour

Settle in for a panoramic drive through Athens and the port of Piraeus on a double-decker sightseeing bus, passing key landmarks that tell the story of both cities. 3.5 Hours

 

Port of Call #5: Heraklion, Crete, Greece

Although it's on the Greek Island of Crete, Heraklion offers a wealth of Venetian architecture from their rule in the 13th century, including magnificent fortified walls. Don't miss the Minoan Palace of Knossos, immortalized in Greek Mythology by the legend of the Minotaur. Explore more of Heraklion on a Greek Isles cruise!

 

Port of Call #6: Santorini Island

Whitewashed villages clinging to the sides of the sea cliffs have made the volcanic island of Santorini one of the most widely photographed places in the world. The island's charm and subtle mystery have even made it a target of speculation as the location of the lost city of Atlantis.
