Iconic Aegean 3-day cruise: 4 Greek islands & Turkey Louis Olympia from Athens (Piraeus)
Departure at 11.00. The regal Olympia, your cozy floating hotel, calls first at Mykonos, an island so beautiful it will make you feel as if you’ve fallen into a dream. Stroll the picturesque alleys of Mykonos Town and, after the sun drops into the sea, enjoy its exhilarating nightlife. Arrival at 18.00, departure at 23.00. Overnight on board.
From Mykonos we sail overnight to arrive for breakfast in quiet Kusadasi, whose white sand beaches are a stone’s throw away from the incredible excavation of the ancient city of Ephesus and its Terrace Houses (one of the world’s largest open-air museums), the House of the Virgin Mary, beautiful Sirince Village and the thrilling metropolis of Izmir. Kusadasi is also home to a fantastic harborside bazaar where you can find some of the best bargains in the Aegean. Arrival at 07.00, departure at 13.00.
From Kusadasi to the holy island of Patmos where, many believe, John the Apostle wrote the Book of Revelations in a mountainside grotto where he heard the voice of God. Arrival at 16.00, departures at 21.00. Overnight on board.
We leave Patmos and sail through another lovely Aegean evening to Heraklion, an ancient Venetian port and the fascinating capital of Crete. Greece’s largest island is a paradise of secluded beaches, hiking trails, rivers and archeological marvels, including the Minoan Palace of Knossos and the Archeological Museum in Heraklion. Arrival at 07.00, departure at 11.30.
We sail from Heraklion for an evening on incredible Santorini. The island’s
cliffs rise from the Aegean like a dream. Arrival at 16.30, departure at 22.00.
