5-cruise to the greek islands from Kusadasi

Boarding begins at 10:00 a.m. and the journey to the island of Patmos, where Saint John wrote the Apocalypse and where Jesus Christ appeared to him in the Grotto of the Apocalypse or Book of Revelation.

We will have time to visit the Holy Cave of the Apocalypse and the Monastery of Saint John the Theologian and to stroll in the port of this small but unique island.

Onboard, Greca Travel includes a full board and a package of  non-alcoholic beverages during service hours, so your only concern is to have fun.

After a peaceful night sailing, you will arrive at the famous island of Rhodes. This was once home to one of the seven wonders of the ancient world: "the Colossus of Rhodes", a statue of Helios.

From your arrival, at about 7:00 AM until your departure at 6:00 PM, you will have free time if you wish to explore the renowned medieval town of Rhodes, recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, the Acropolis of Lindos, or simply lay back and enjoy the natural beauty of the largest island in the Dodecanese island complex.

Lindos is located 55 kilometers (40 miles) from the city of Rhodes and “bears” above it the Acropolis of Lindos, with the ancient Temple of Athena, built in 300 BC In the old city of Rhodes, you will walk the Street of the Knights, and find their residences.

Greca Tip: Walk through the Palace of the Grand Master, and its imposing 14th-century structure with ancient art, exquisite marble, and mosaics will give you a tiny glimpse of what life was like back then.

In the early morning, after a gentle night of sailing, you will arrive at the picturesque island of Santorini.

The approach to the island is fascinating, and it is the ideal time to photograph the city of Fira, with its white houses hanging on the slope that faces the volcano.

The name of the island is the deformation of the name given to it in the Middle Ages by the Venetian merchants who called it Saint Irene, as this is the saint patron of the island. In 1576, Santorini became part of the Duchy of Naxos, until the Turkish conquest of Piyale Pasha.

From 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Santorini will be at our complete disposal so that we discover its unique and legendary beauty.

Greca Tip: Do not miss the opportunity to enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world, from one of the many coffee stores located on the cliffs.

After a tasty breakfast, you will enjoy a panoramic tour of some of the capital’s most important landmarks.  You will visit the Athenian Neoclassical center: the Parliament, the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, University, Library and National Academy, Temple of Zeus, Hadrian's Gate, Panathinaikó Stadium and much more.  Your official English-speaking guide will offer a detailed account of all these places, without omitting references to the country's current affairs.

Our next destination will be the famous island of Mykonos, where the cruise ship will dock at 16:00 p.m. and remain until 23:00 p.m. Mykonos is the meeting point of the international "jet set" and is famous for its wonderful beaches, exclusive shops, and a vibrant nightlife.   

Only at a short distance away, you will find the historic island of Delos, which, according to Greek mythology, was the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. This small island, inhabited since 3000 B.C., was one of the most important cultural centers in antiquity.

Greca Tip: Visit Little Venice by the water's edge and idle along boutiques, jewelry stores, and tasteful souvenir shops.

Early in the morning (around 7:00 AM), after a quiet night sailing, you will wake up on the Turkish coast. Once you reach the port of Kusadasi, and after breakfast, you will proceed to disembark.

From Greca, we hope to see you again to enjoy some wonderful moments that will remain forever in your memory.

Have a good trip! Or, as you will say, "Kaló taksídi!"
