Highlights of this cruise:
Thessaloniki
A dynamic urban city in Greece where you'll find ancient ruins, stunning Byzantine architecture alongside modern streets and contemporary buzz. Vibrant Thessaloniki is home to incredible history while also being known for its dazzling nightlife. This coastal city is perfect for culture lovers as well as those seeking leisure and entertainment. Don’t forget to sample its local gastronomy, which is influenced by the east in its spices and flavors.
Rhodes
A Greek paradise in the Aegean Sea that enchants visitors with its stunning natural beauty, ancient ruins, and charming old town. Rich with natural beauty and colorful history, Rhodes represents one of the most architecturally varied locations in Europe. Hellenistic, Byzantine, Medieval and Turkish influences intermingle with abundant sunshine and dry air to cast a magnificent light over the island that the ancients dedicated to Apollo, the God of Light. High on a cliff, the ruins of the Temple of Athena sit amidst the beautifully preserved Acropolis at Lindos.
Athens
Experience the vibrant and historic port of Piraeus, Athens' gateway to the Aegean islands and beyond, and find a rich maritime heritage, a bustling local culture, and access to the wonders of Athens. Venture through Greece’s largest port city, Piraeus, as you make your way to the cradle of Western culture and the birthplace of democracy. Athens, among the world's oldest cities with a history spanning 3,400 years, has long been the location of myth and muse, and its ancient heritage is still an incredible source of inspiration. Here, the Acropolis crowns the city as home to the Parthenon and other legendary temples and monuments. |
