Day 1: Departure
Piraeus, Greece
The largest port in the Mediterranean and primary departure point for Greek Island cruises from Athens, Piraeus is a hubbub of activity that will bring your senses to life. With a sun-soaked promenade, al-fresco cafes and bars and countless shops, it’s a place where you can easily relax with a glass of wine and watch the world go by.
Day 2: Thessaloniki, Greece
Thick Byzantine walls guarding the city give way to an inviting mix of architectural landscapes with winding cobbled streets from the Upper Town turning into grand open boulevards by the water. Approaching the port, you’ll be captivated by a city that radiates culture and sophistication bathed in golden Greek sunshine.
Day 3: Kavala, Greece
Trickling down the slopes of Mt Symvolo in northern Greece, Kavala opens its arms as you approach from the sea. Built like an amphitheater hugging the hills and embracing the seafront, you’ll want to get straight into exploring this absorbing city. Modern neoclassical mansions, Byzantine monuments and Islamic architecture evoke its long and varied history.
Day 4: Istanbul, Turkey
Split between two continents, Europe and Asia, Istanbul is truly unique. It boasts lavish Byzantine architecture and imperial mosques with sky-high minarets that make up the city’s skyline; your first sight from the Bosphorus Strait on your Istanbul cruise. There’s an endless list of must-see sights to tick off, all conveniently packed into the Sultanahmet district.
Day 5: Dikili, Turkey
Approaching the broad bay of Dikili, Turkey’s coastal gem, you’ll be mesmerized by the lush green landscape bordered by golden sandy beaches wrapping their way around the coastline. Turquoise water glitters before you and isolated bays reveal their mystical charm – a place dripping in wondrous natural sights and history.
Day 6: Kusadasi, Turkey
Arriving in the port of Kusadasi, Turkey you’ll instantly feel at home. A huge covered bazaar stretches out in front of you and the buzz from trendy seaside bars and restaurants floats through the air. Follow your instincts and lose track of time ambling from café to café and exploring its myriad of shops and historic sites.
Day 7: Patmos, Greece
Approaching the port of Skala, you can’t take your eyes off the monumental grid of medieval walls that emerge as if staking their claim over the island. Inching ever closer to Patmos island, your eyes will be drawn further down the hill to the fringes of white houses that circle Chora all the way to the pretty harbour of Skala.
Day 8: Piraeus, Greece
The largest port in the Mediterranean and primary departure point for Greek Island cruises from Athens, Piraeus is a hubbub of activity that will bring your senses to life.
