Aegean Cruise
From Athens you shall set sail for Mykonos, with its cooling breeze and endless beaches, the lively atmosphere and the non-stop bustle of its cosmopolitan and highly fashionable visitors. You will enjoy both the sunset and the beautiful sights that are spread all over this Cycladic island. You will have your breakfast at Kusadasi, the popular resort, which is only a stone’s throw away from the fantastically preserved ancient Ephesus.

The serene power and spirituality of Patmos will win you over as you approach its harbor. For the evening another dreamlike sunset from the Greek islands awaits you. The next morning you will wake up having Rhodes, the island of the bold crusading knights, at your feet. Stroll through the medieval heart of the city and excursions to the innumerable treasures of the island. To the southwest, Heraklion of Crete with its Minoan civilization and the fascinating myths will greet you like a lost relative. In the afternoon you will find yourself entering the world famous island caldera of Santoriniwith its dainty villages erected over the red rocks and the sunset tenderly cloaking the sea.
