CELEBRITY WITH DELPHI & METEORA

Boarding for the cruise begins at 1:30 PM, and departure is scheduled for 5:00 PM.

Sailing is the perfect time to enjoy the sun on deck, marvel at the deep blue of the Aegean, or entertain yourself with some of the many activities and services offered on the cruise.

On board, Greca Travel includes full board and non-alcoholic drinks during meals, so your only concern is to have a great time.

A soft dawn welcomes you to Turkey. At 08:00, the ship docks in Kusadasi, the threshold to one of antiquity’s great cities: Ephesus.

In the morning, join an optional excursion to this ancient marvel where Cleopatra, Saint Paul, and Mark Antony once walked. The Library of Celsus and the Grand Theater reveal a city that shaped civilizations. In the afternoon, browse the lively port market filled with local crafts and colors. At 18:00, the cruise continues to Rhodes.

Greca Tip: Bring water and wear comfortable shoes. Ephesus is vast—and every step is a step into history.

As you wake, the silhouette of medieval walls appears on the horizon. At 08:00, your ship docks in Rhodes, an island steeped in tales of crusaders and conquests.

We recommend you spend the morning and afternoon exploring its Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where cobbled lanes lead to the Grand Master’s Palace. Between towers and battlements, you’ll feel time slow and history whisper.

At 18:00, the ship sails onward.

Greca Tip: Climb the medieval ramparts for a breathtaking view of the city and harbor.

Crete welcomes you with gentle light and deep heritage. At 08:00, you arrive in Agios Nikolaos, a harbor town where myth and leisure meet.

In the morning, we suggest a stroll around Lake Voulismeni, where legend says Athena once bathed. In the afternoon, enjoy the pace of life—swim in calm waters or sip coffee by the sea as the world moves quietly around you.

The ship departs at 20:00 for Santorini.

Greca Tip: Sunset by the lake with a Greek coffee in hand—simple, perfect, unforgettable.

Your approach to Santorini at 08:00 is an experience in itself. Cliffs rise dramatically, crowned with whitewashed homes and blue domes.

Spend the morning and afternoon discovering the villages of Fira and Oia. Wander along terraces, taste local delicacies, or just take in the views of the caldera.

At 22:00, the cruise continues, but Santorini’s magic lingers.

Greca Tip: In Oia, find your sunset spot early. The view is world-famous for a reason.

Docking at 08:00, Mykonos offers a full day of contrasts. From its iconic windmills and white alleys to its vibrant beaches and refined charm, this island invites every traveler to find their rhythm.

Visit Chora, explore Little Venice, or join an optional excursion to sacred Delos. Prefer to relax on the ship? A beach chair under the sun awaits.

The ship departs at 02:00 the following morning.

Greca Tip: For a quiet evening, stroll the Old Port. Mykonos reveals its most romantic face in the golden hour.

The day begins in Milos, arriving at 08:00. Known for the discovery of the Venus de Milo, the island captivates with surreal beaches and rugged beauty.

Our suggestions: Spend the morning and afternoon discovering Kleftiko’s sea caves or wandering Sarakiniko’s moonlike coast.

At 18:00, the ship departs toward Athens, with the sea glowing behind you.

Greca Tip: Milos is a dream for photographers—bring your camera and swimwear; you’ll want both.

Upon arrival at Piraeus port we will disembark, and at 07:30 AM, one of our vehicles will transfer you to your hotel.

You will have the rest of the day free to discover the treasures held in the city's celebrated museums and archeological sites, as well as enjoy the thriving presence of this modern metropolis.

In case you do not want to miss anything on this day, we recommend walking the neuralgic area of Thisseion, and the popular pedestrian Ermou. If you want a unique postcard, visit Mount Lycabeto, which can be reached by funicular.

Also, don't miss trying fantastic Greek coffees, both hot and cold, and traditional lunch or dinner proposals.

Greca Tip: The Plaka area is full of souvenir shops, where you can get some good quality replicas of works.

Today, you will enjoy a delightful breakfast and prepare for a wonderful day as you discover the city of Athens and its fascinating blend of history and modernity.

During the panoramic tour, you will admire the Athenian Trilogy (National Library, University, and Academy of Athens), the Presidential Mansion, the Panathenaic Stadium (Kallimarmaro), where the first modern Olympic Games were held, the Zappeion, the majestic Temple of Olympian Zeus, which for centuries was one of the largest temples in Greece, and Hadrian’s Arch, built in honor of the Roman emperor.

The itinerary includes a visit to the Acropolis, symbol of the classical world and home to the Parthenon, a masterpiece of Greek architecture; the Erechtheion, with its famous Caryatids; and the Temple of Athena Nike, dedicated to the goddess of victory. You will admire the history and legends surrounding these monuments while enjoying panoramic views of Athens from the hill.

The tour concludes at a central point in the city, ideal for continuing to explore Athens at your own pace. Later, you will head at your own rhythm to Monastiraki to join the “Athens by Night” tour, enjoying a walking tour through Plaka and Anafiotika, admiring the illuminated Acropolis, and passing by iconic sites such as Athens Cathedral and Ermou Street, while discovering how the city comes alive under the moonlight.

Greca Tip: At the Acropolis, mythology, architecture, and unique Athens panoramas come together. See how the Parthenon has inspired architects for over two thousand years and discover the stories of the ancient gods and heroes who dwell in these monuments.

In the morning, and after a good breakfast, you will visit Delphi, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the center or 'navel' of the ancient world. It was here where the renowned Oracle of Delphi, a counselor of kings and pilgrims, could be found. You cannot miss out on a visit to the museum, which houses the "Bronze Charioteer", a masterpiece of Greek sculpture.

At the end of your Delphi tour, you will descend the slopes of Mount Parnassus and head towards the plains of Thessaly, where the city of Kalambaka is located.  

Upon your arrival in Kalambaka, you will check in at your hotel, have dinner, and rest or you can go out to explore the town’s old picturesque district with its narrow cobblestoned streets and traditional houses. 

Greca Tip: You may also use your free time to visit the Temple of Athena Pronaia at Delphi.

Early in the morning, we will visit Meteora, also recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 1988. 

In this mysterious landscape, the natural beauty is combined with the compelling presence of the eternal monasteries suspended or "Meteora" on top of the huge rocks. Currently, it remains only six in use, five for the male and one for the female monastic community.  

On the way back to Athens, we will pass by Thermopylae, where we can see the statue of Spartan King Leonidas I, famous for leading the battle against the Persians in 480 BC. Back to Athens in the afternoon and drop off at your hotel.

Greca Tip: Dress code in the monasteries: Sleeveless clothing and shorts over the knee for men are prohibited. For ladies, skirts, and shawls are available at the entrance, in case they don’t have such clothing to cover themselves.

At the appointed time, one of our drivers will transfer you to Athens International Airport, where you will check in your luggage and benefit from the tax return resulting from your last-minute tax-free shopping for family and friends.

Having spent a few fantastic days with Greca, we hope to see you again soon to create together new and extraordinary moments that will be lovingly etched in your memory.

Have a nice trip! Or, as the Greeks say: "Kalo taksidi!"

Greca Tip: As a going-away gift you can choose from a wide range of brightly colored flokati rugs, handmade sandals, embroidered covers, and Greek honey or olive oil.
