Athens, the Greek capital, rests on the eastern edge by the Saronic Gulf. The city's name, in the plural form, pays homage to the surrounding villages near the Acropolis. The UNESCO-listed plateau, crowned by iconic monuments, is captivating. Explore vibrant neighborhoods like Plaka with its winding, colorful streets. Athens also houses cultural treasures like the National Archaeological Museum and the Cycladic Art Museum.
Patmos stands out as a legendary and essential destination among the Dodecanese islands. It was the dwelling place of Saint John, the presumed author of the Bible's final book. UNESCO recognizes the significance of this island, as evidenced by the World Heritage-listed Cave of the Apocalypse and Saint John Monastery, both perched on a hillside adorned with vineyards and orchards. Along the coast, you'll find the pristine Kambos and Lampi coves, inviting you to enjoy their stunning waters for a refreshing swim
A simply ravishing gem in the Dodecanese, Symi, located northwest of Rhodes, offers an enchanting experience. You will find this island adorned with cypress forests, vineyards, and olive orchards, with a capital city that shares the same vivid colors as the surrounding landscape. The undeniable charm of the port district of Gialos is not to be missed, as its quaysides are graced by picturesque houses boasting multicolored facades. To reach the upper town, you have two options: a leisurely drive or a climb up the 500 steps along the Kali Strata ramp. Opting for the latter rewards you with superb vantage points of the coast and the mesmerizing turquoise waters.
The choice of Amorgos as a filming location for Luc Besson's movie, "The Big Blue," was no coincidence. As your ship approaches, you too will be captivated by the island's allure. Amorgos, the easternmost Cycladic island, distinguishes itself with its rocky coves graced by crystalline waters and its charming, small villages.
During this port of call, you will have the opportunity to explore one of the most picturesque Cycladic villages, Chora, where cobbled streets wind among whitewashed houses overlooked by a castle. The scene is completed by Byzantine churches, windmills, and courtyards adorned with blossoming flowers, offering a quintessential snapshot of timeless Greece.
Sailing in the waters of Santorini's caldera is a breathtaking experience. The immense scale of this ancient crater, submerged 2,000 years BC, with its towering cliffs, is a cruise highlight. As you sail, the vibrant whites, grays, reds of the volcanic rocks, the blue Aegean Sea, and the perched villages create a marvelous spectacle.
Milos is renowned not only for the famous statue of Venus, now housed in the Louvre in Paris, but also as a geological wonder. Its volcanic origins are evident in its stunning landscapes and the colorful cliffs, spanning from pristine white to deep red.
While aboard a ship, you'll uncover the untamed beauty of its coastlines, home to some of Greece's most exquisite beaches, and gain exclusive access to emerald-green coves. Discover charming fishing ports like Adamas, adorned with vividly-painted doors and terraces. Milos stands as an enchanting port of call nestled in the heart of the Cyclades.
The legendary Cyclades island of Delos, located just southwest of Mykonos, boasts an ancient holy sanctuary that's both solemn and captivating. This UNESCO World Heritage site covers more than half of the island, and it's a treasure trove of discoveries. From the Stoa of Antigonos to the Terrace of the Lions and the carved marble animal statues, you'll be in awe. Don't miss the theater steps on the hillside, offering a fantastic view of the expansive Aegean horizon.
Paros, known for its white marble, is a Cycladic island. In the main town of Parikia, you'll encounter Byzantine churches and neoclassical structures. For a dose of the vibrant turquoise waters, consider visiting Naoussa, a charming fishing port nestled within a picturesque cove.
This unique jewel among the Saronic Islands can be found to the east of the Peloponnese. It's a car-free island, and its harbor town, bearing the same name as the island, is beautifully built into the slopes of a mountainous bay. Traditional stone mansions and colorful caïques along the quayside may surprise you. As you explore further along the coastline, you'll come across the Historical Archives Museum, housed in the elegant villa Koundouriotis, where collections from Athens National History Museum are on display.
