MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE ITINERARY
SAT
Fly UK to Athens - Walking in the shadow of the Acropolis in the Agora, you can almost hear the voices of Plato, Socrates and Aristotle arguing about who was the greatest philosopher. In the soaring, subtly curved Doric columns of the Parthenon you see the masterful hand of Pericles, Athens' greatest general and builder. And in the ethereally graceful bodies of the Karyatids supporting the porch of the Erectheum, you behold the beauty of the immortals. Ancient Athens, the birthplace of democracy and epicenter of western civilization, is a city for all eternity.
SUN
At Sea - Take time to relax into your cruise, exploring the lavish and complete accomodation aboard the Star Clipper. Sun-bathe and wind down as you sail across the Aegean Sea in style.
MON
Kusadasi, Turkey - Kusadasi is a popular Turkish port of call for cruise ships, as not only is it a bustling resort town full of shops, bars and restaurants, but it is also the main access point for the famous archeological site at Ephesus, where extensive excavations have revealed an ancient city through which visitors can now wander and observe the wonders of a bygone civilization.
TUE
Kusadasi - Patmos - This serene island is known as the site of the apocalyptic revelations of St. John the Divine, written here during his exile from the Roman Empire. The cave where he is said to have lived is now the site of the Monastery of the Apocalypse. In the 11th century, the Abbot Christodoulos founded the Monastery of St. John on one of the island's highest points. It houses priceless icons and manuscripts in its treasury.
WED
Patmos - Amorgos - The island of Amorgos is distinguished for its archeological wealth, popular architectural art, and local customs. An abundance of archaiological ruins, sites and findings bear witness to the fact that the island has been inhabited since prehistoric times.
THU
Amorgos - Delos & Mykonos - You cannot escape the feeling on Delos that the Greek gods are hovering just out of sight, or that Apollo might step out of some ruin at any moment, casting his radiance once again over ancient Delos. Uninhabited today as always, Delos is the hub of the "wheel" for which the Cyclades are named. The Sacred Way, bordered by temples, altars and shrines dedicated to Greek, Roman and Egyptian deities, attests to the religious importance in ancient times. One of the most cosmopolitan of all the Greek Islands and quite justifiably attracting visitors from all over the world,
FRI
Mykonos - Tinos - One of the most cosmopolitan of all the Greek Islands and quite justifiably attracting visitors from all over the world, Mykonos is a contrast of rocky hills and beautiful beaches. Hora, the capital, spreads around a colorful harbor in which fishing boats nestle side by side with luxury yachts. The brilliant white cubic houses with white-washed balconies built close together with little shops and tiny churches, make up the backstreets of the town. The harbor is overlooked by a variety of tavernas, and is a popular meeting place as the sun goes down, turning the brilliant whites to beautiful shades of pinks and reds.
SAT
Athens - Disembark and transfer to the airport for your return flight or to your hotel if extending your stay.
