Your Destinations —

Mykonos

The island of Mykonos is renowned for its cosmopolitan nightlife, chic beachfront bars, and pretty villages showcasing typical Greek architecture. Chora, the capital of the island, is a labyrinth of winding narrow streets, whitewashed houses framed by trailing bougainvillaea and beautiful churches and squares. The famous whitewashed windmills, the trademark of the island, stand on a hill overlooking the city, from where one can enjoy a magnificent view over Little Venice - home to numerous trendy cafes and bars.

Milos

Milos is the fifth largest island in the Cyclades, with 125 kilometers of coastline and about 5,000 permanent residents. Milos is a picture-perfect destination. With its heavenly beaches, contrasting white sand with crystal clear waters and quaint fishing villages, it offers something for everyone and is simply enchanting!

Santorini

A paradise destination famed for its breathtaking scenery, fascinating history and exquisite beaches; this stunning volcanic island simply cannot disappoint. Soak up some warm rays on any one of the red, white or black sandy beaches, and visit one of the island's incredible archaeological sites to see a 3,500-year-old Minoan town preserved in volcanic ash or the temples of Artemidoros and Dionysus. Sip on a refreshing beverage as you enjoy a panoramic view of the sun setting over Oia's blue-domed churches and into the deep Aegean sea beyond.

Heraklion

The largest of the Greek islands, Crete is an enchanting hub of dreamy villages, ancient treasures, sun-drenched beaches and divinely silky sea-waters - all wrapped up in the embrace of the locals’ warm hospitality. Crete is the birthplace of the Minoan people, said to be the first advanced society on European soil, who ruled over 4000 years ago. Here, you can find remains of this remarkable civilisation in various archeological sites dotted over the island, including the famous Palace of Knossos.

Kusadasi

Kusadasi is known for its classic architectural ruins and seafront promenade. Visitors can explore majestic cultural sites such as the Temple of Artemis, the House of Virgin Mary, the Basilica of St John and the Isa Bey Mosque, gaining a true feel of the rich Turkish history that is embedded in this town. During your visit, it is also worth visiting the Kusadasi Castle, overlooking the sea and the Kusadasi Ottoman Turkish Bath for a real authentic Turkish spa experience. Rub shoulders with the locals at the Old Town Bazaar Kaleici and pick some traditional hand-made Turkish souvenirs from the variety of shops and markets you will find.

Day 6: Heraklion (Arrival at 7 am and Departure at 8.30 pm)
Sailing into Heraklion's port, the intimidating walls of Koules Fortress emerge from the sea to guard the ancient treasures found within the city.

Spectacular Oia Village Perched on the Caldera Rim (Half Day - up to 4.5 hours)

Your Included Excursions
Your tour to Santorini’s jewel, the village of Oia, is a trip into the picture-perfect world of an island where romance and beauty reign supreme. As you board your tour to discover the island’s second largest village, you will drive by the picturesque villages of Firostefani, Imerovigli, the “balcony to the Aegean”, and Megalochori surrounded by its famous vineyards, where you will stop briefly to capture the experience with photos. Your tour will continue with a panoramic drive by Santorini’s caldera which offers breathtaking views. You will admire from afar the village of Fira, the capital of the island, as well as Thirassia, Palea Kameni and Nea Kameni -- three of the five islands which form the cluster that surround Santorini. As you arrive in Oia, you will walk through the gleaming white streets of the village through a beautiful labyrinth of shops, cafes, art galleries and hotels, harmoniously built in the unmistakable Cycladic style. You will have free time to enjoy your moments in one of the world’s best known and loved living postcards -- taking photos of the awe-inspiring scenery, shopping for fine jewelry or art, or simply relaxing and breathing in the beauty of Santorini.

Minoan Palace of Knossos - 1st European Civilisation (Half Day - up to 4.5 hours)

Your Included Excursions
As you venture into the incredible open-air museum of the Palace of Knossos, your bus tour will take you along the proud Venetian heritage of Heraklion - the Koules Fortress (the stronghold overlooking the Heraklion harbour), the Venetian Loggia (the 17th century administrative and social center), the harmonious Morozini fountain and the 10th century Church of St. Titus. As you explore the Palace of Knossos, considered Europe’s oldest city, you are entering and experiencing the incredible world of the legendary Minoan civilization. The long and winding roads of Crete’s ancient city gradually expose the remarkable art, architecture and daily life of the Minoan people. Breathe in the millennia of history and imagine the legends of Daedalus, Theseus and the Minotaur come to life in the remarkable Hall of the Royal Guard and the Double Axes, the King’s Chamber or the Queen’s Apartment. Enjoy free time to savour the beauty and uniqueness of Crete’s largest city (and the fourth largest in Greece). The city is brimming with an assortment of museums that satisfy every taste- entre, full of busy cafes and elegant shops or retrace the steps of its Venetian rulers at the impressive fortified port, the vast arches and the arsenals.

Ancient Ephesus Through the Ages - Hellinistic and Roman (Half Day - up to 4.5 hours)

Your Included Excursions
Your Ancient Ephesus bus tour is a journey through the golden ages which shaped a pivotal center of commerce and spirituality. Built 3,000 years ago, Ephesus shaped the history of Greek, Turkish and Christian civilizations from its privileged location, chosen (according to legend) by the oracle of Delphi. A site of pilgrimage, due to its proximity to the Temple of Artemis (one of the 7 Wonders of the World) and the presence of major Christian figures (the apostles Paul and John and the Virgin Mary) within the city walls, Ephesus is currently one of the largest Roman archaeological sites in the Mediterranean. The splendour of its golden age is visible throughout its streets and exceptionally well-preserved ruins. As you explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site you will have the opportunity to breathe in the centuries of cultural effervescence, visible in the Ephesus Agora, Odeon, the Houses of the Patricians, the beautiful Temple of Hadrian and the astonishing Library of Celsus. You will also have the opportunity to bargain and shop local merchandise such as carpets, leather goods, souvenirs etc.
