Cruise Description |
11 Night Cruise sailing from Athens roundtrip aboard Crystal Symphony.
The Eastern Mediterranean has captivated travelers for years. This is the region where history isn’t confined to museums—it’s alive in every stone, every street, and every smile. The region invites you to explore, connect, and be enriched by the journey. As you navigate its waters and shores on this roundtrip cruise from Athens, you become witness to its beauty. Enjoy everything the region has to offer, from some of Greece’s most stunning Islands to Turkey’s mesmerizing coastline, to Cyprus’ old town, heaving with history, to Haifa for Nazareth and the Holy Land.
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.
Chania
The spectacular town of Chania on the island of Crete is a perfect place to spend some time. Chania is known for its charming ambience and incredible beaches, as well as for its medieval monuments such as the Frangokastello fortress. Visit picturesque Agii Apostoli beach or the lively Nea Chora beach to enjoy the sea.
Haifa
Israel's stunning port city, where a magnificent panoramic view of the Mediterranean, a rich history dating back to biblical times, and a thriving modern urban culture converge. Hebrew for “beautiful coast,” Haifa has been a mecca for the faithful of all kinds for millennia. Its slopes of Mount Carmel, UNESCO-listed Acre and glittering coastline are all impressive, and it is also an ideal starting point for explorations of Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee; Zippori, “City of Mosaics”; and the lively cosmopolitan delights of Tel Aviv. |
