Itinerary

In the early afternoon, join the ship at Marina Zea on the eastern coast of the Piraeus peninsula near Athens, Greece. The ship sets sail via Cape Sounion to the island of Kea. After dinner, enjoy some free time to explore Korissia, Kea’s quaint port. Later, the ship departs for Delos, with the night spent at sea.

This morning, embark on an optional excursion to the island of Delos, one of the most important archaeological sites in all of Greece. The excavations conducted here are among the most extensive in the Mediterranean, revealing Delos—the supposed birthplace of Apollo and Artemis—to be a significant mythological and historical site.

Today, find yourself on the island of Santorini, where you’ll have the option to experience the dramatic volcanic caldera, tour archaeological sites, explore typical villages, and take in sweeping views of the cerulean Aegean Sea before the ship sets sail for Crete in the evening.

This morning, the ship sails into Rethymnon, Crete’s famously lively port. Set off on an optional tour to the ancient city of Knossos, near Heraklion. Late in the evening, the ship departs for Kythira and spends the night at sea.

Cool off with a late morning swim stop before arriving in Kythira in the afternoon. This lesser-known island gem is quickly becoming a preferred destination for visitors to the Mediterranean. Spend an evening at your leisure in the postcard-perfect town of Chora, and experience the subtle charms of this relaxed locale. The ship moors in Kythira for the night.

In the early morning hours, the ship sets sail for Monemvassia. Here, discover a remarkable fortified town, and enjoy ample time at your leisure to discover its well-preserved Byzantine and Venetian architecture against a naturally stunning backdrop. Monemvassia is the birthplace of world-renowned Greek poet Yiannis Ritsos, who once described his hometown as a “stone ship” about to set sail through time—this is evidenced by the medieval town centre, carved out of the island’s slate-coloured rock.

This morning, set off on an optional tour to Mycenae. Situated on a rocky outcrop, this acropolis’ structures date back to the 13th century, when the powerful Mycenaean civilization was at its cultural and artistic peak.

Following breakfast, disembark at Marina Zea, where you will prepare for your onward journey.
