Cruise Description |
7 Night Cruise sailing from Athens roundtrip aboard Crystal Symphony.
Embark on a roundtrip from Athens, weaving through some of Greece and Turkey’s most historic gems. Start by strolling Nafplion’s cobbled streets while drinking in the island’s tales of antiquity before enjoying a little fun in the sun in Mykonos’ azure waters. Sail next to Rhodes for its fusion of medieval wonders and beautiful beaches before an overnight in Kusadasi, perfect for an enchanting evening concert in Ephesus, among the ancient ruins. Follow with Patmos, where St John wrote his Book of Revelations, before returning to where you came.
Highlights of this cruise:
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.
Mykonos
Experience the famed summer destination for the international scene; Mykonos, a glitzy island featuring whitewashed buildings, azure waters, and lively nightlife. Mykonos, a former 18th-century pirates' bastion, is now a sophisticated and cosmopolitan island resort. This quintessential Greek island offers a maze of winding streets, graceful windmills, inviting beaches, domed churches and whitewashed houses accented in blue. Dotting the waterfront are cafés, taverns and tempting shops. Guests may spend the day exploring the island independently. Feel free to investigate its fine boutiques and pleasant, labyrinthine streets.
Kusadasi
Kusadasi is a charming coastal town in western Turkey known for its rich history and stunning beaches, including Ladies Beach and Long Beach. A lovely seaside resort town on the Aegean coast, Kusadasi is famous for sparkling waters, sandy beaches and enticing shops filled with designer clothing and hand-woven carpets and leather goods. More than these modern trappings, it is the gateway to Ephesus – the UNESCO-listed, 4,000 year old city – as well as the Temple of Artemis (one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World), Basilica of St. John, and House of the Virgin Mary. |
