Embarkation is between 14h00 (2 pm) and 15h00 (3 pm) at Marina Zeas port. After you board, you’ll enjoy a Welcome Aboard cocktail. Your ship sets sail for Delos that evening, passing Cape Sounion in the distance, where the white marble pillars of the Temple of Poseidon stand high on a promontory and are illuminated at night. Overnight at sea.

The ship sails into white and blue Cyclades. Enjoy an optional visit to tiny Delos, the mythical birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. On an optional guided tour, you’ll visit the archaeological ruins of this UNCESCO World Heritage Site. Delos is a true open-air museum with many ancient monuments and buildings that are remarkably intact. Next, we sail to one of Mykonos’ beautiful bays for a nice swim stop and lunch, weather permitting. Later in the afternoon we will sail into Mykonos to allow you to discover its brilliant white houses and stroll in the narrow streets. While exploring the town you can visit the archaeological museum or the maritime museum, and don’t forget to visit a bakery that has been turning out bread in wood-fired ovens since the 15th century. We suggest ending your evening as the mykonians do and enjoy a glass of ouzo and traditional “mezedes” (appetizers) or enjoy Mykonos’ world famous night life.

Today our explorations of ancient civilizations continue with an optional tour to Ephesus, the greatest archaeological site in the Aegean region. As you tour this remarkably preserved Greek and Roman city, you may feel as of you’re about to encounter a toga-garbed resident, or hear a chariot clattering down the main avenue – the same avenue down which Cleopatra and Mark Anthony rode in procession more than 2000 years ago! After lunch, you will have some free time at the Kusadasi’s bustling market before we sail for Patmos, the tiny yet spectacular island featuring whitewashed houses with colorfully painted shutters and doors, stone-paved streets, and narrow alleys. Overnight in Patmos.

Your optional Patmos excursion includes two UNESCO Word Heritage Sites, the Grotto and Monastery of St. John and the historic center of the medieval town of Chora. After lunch we will set sail for the picturesque island of Amorgos which we reach in the evening. Overnight in Amorgos.

After breakfast it is time for you to bid farewell to your fellow passengers and to your crew and disembark.
