6:00PM ATHENS
DAY 1 Athens Landing in to the ancient metropolis of Athens, we’ll settle in to our fancy hotel digs & join forces to get the low down on how the next 11 days will run. Settling in to Grecian life, why not kick start your Greek food safari with dinner in the rustic Plaka district, climb around the massive Theatre of Dionysus, sift through treasures at the Monastiraki Flea Market or visit Brettos, one of the oldest distilleries in Greece.
ATHENS 1
DAY 9 End Athens With enough good times squirrelled away to last us a life time, we’ll hit the road & head back to the country’s capital for our finale. Our 9-days in Greece (plus a Turkish mini-moon) will be finished after breakfast at 10am in the city centre. (B) F Guided tour of the famous Acropolis

Kusadasi TURKEY
Mykonos
DAY 8 Kusadasi Never ones to miss an opportunity to visit a new country, we’ll make a trip to our Turkish neighbours of the east. Here, maybe stock up on one-of-a-kind treasures at Kusadasi’s bazaar, or take a tour to Ephesus if you’re feeling nostalgic. We have all day here to enjoy Turkey, so make the most of it. Later, we set sail back to Athens. (B,L,D)
Milos Santorini
DAY 2 - 3 Mykonos There’s a whole lot of incredible waiting for us on the flipside of our cruise from Athens to Mykonos; think windmills, day clubs, sunshine & perfect clear waters just for starters. Whether you want to fly high & fancy at a beach club like Hippie Fish or Buddha Bar, or keep things easy with a stroll through Little Venice & a spot of snorkelling, our time will prove as beautiful as the bougainvillea doused houses. (B,D)(B,L,D)
Heraklion
DAY 4 Milos Crete This morning we will anchor up and make our way to Milos. In this perfect playground you can swim in the caves of Kleftiko beach & eat fish cooked in geothermal sands. We’ll soak it all in & watch the sun set before pulling anchor for another evening of drifting. (B,L,D) F Amazing beaches tour
DAY 5 - 6 Santorini Just in time for breakfast, we’ll drop anchor at the island some may refer to as ‘heaven on earth’. Iconic dome churches, lines of boutique stores, & cliffs that drop towards the azure crystal ocean – the pure paradise of Santorini will be ours to devour. (B,L,D)(B,L,D) F Santorini Highlights & Volcano
DAY 7 Heraklion The largest of Greece’s 1,200 islands, Crete is our next port of call. If you’ve had enough of cocktails & beach umbrellas (although unlikely), the port of Heraklion offers museums, history, & the pretty Georgiadis Park, so plenty of ways to mix it up a bit. (B,L,D)
