8 Days / 7 Nights: Athens (2 nights), plus City Tour - 4-Day Aegean Cruise - Athens (1 night)
Patmos Scala Area Towards Chora |
In just one week, you can pack in seven different destinations, and still manage to do it in a relaxing and civilized way! This is island-hopping at its best; the ship is your hotel, and your luggage stays put! With Athens at the beginning and end, and with a wonderful 4-Day Cruise (Mykonos-Ephesus-Patmos-Rhodes-Heraklion-Santorini) in the middle, it's the perfect way to enjoy your holiday. As with all cruises, you can choose to be as active or as inactive as you like. Each port-of-call offers something special to see and do, and no two destinations are alike. Whether your interests are cultural or historical, or whether you just appreciate gorgeous scenery, this itinerary has it all!
