This package is a potpourri of some of the top travel destinations, each one adding its special bit to the journey of a lifetime. In Athens, feel the alluring dichotomy between the ancient and the modern in the cosmopolitan capital of Greece. Then cruise to Mykonos, a cosmopolitan island that will captivate you with its bright-white buildings, gathered around a marina dotted with colorful fishing boats. Enjoy the quality services and exquisite nightlife that the island has to offer, before you cruise to Kusadasi, an amazing coastal resort town. On the sacred island of Patmos, see where St. John had his vision and wrote the apocalypse and where you can find serenity. Visit Rhodes, the 4th largest island of Greece, and known as the island of contrasts and get lost in medieval remnants. In Heraklion, the largest city on the island of Crete, discover its long history, unique local delicacies and feel the Greek hospitality. On the majestic island of Santorini, believed to be the source of the legend of lost Atlantis, discover the remnants of a volcanic eruption; the island will steal your heart with its unique caldera formations, backdropped by the infinite blue sea and the colorful sunsets. Your Greek Odyssey ends with some down time in Mykonos and a last night in Athens before your return to reality!

Additional Information

IMPORTANT: Due to the cruise departure day, a Saturday arrival is a must.

Please note we highly recommend that clients purchase personal insurance, as ferries and/or flights in Greece are subject to delays and cancellations due to high winds or weather conditions on the mainland and the islands. This means that clients may need to change their plans on-site to accommodate the new schedule changes. Unfortunately, this also means that they may incur some extra fees for extra transfers, hotel, and/or loss of an excursion. Once returned to Canada, the disbursements may be claimed with their insurance company.
