Ports of Call
Mykonos, Greece
Mykonos combines the cosmopolitan and sophisticated lifestyle with the simple yet
charming life of this Cycladic Island. Take a stroll through the maze of narrow streets, marvel at the hundreds of tiny chapels and the whitewashed houses with their flower-filled balconies. Take a walk up to the famous windmills or just relax on the waterfront, enjoy the sunset, accompanied by a refreshing drink or traditional ouzo. Kusadasi, Turkey
A picturesque town on the coast with many opportunities for Flea Market shopping. Nearby, lies the Ancient city of Ephessos, founded by the Athenians. A tour to Ephessos will allow you to discover a treasure of Greek, Hellenistic and Roman monuments which witness the past power and prosperity of this city. View the Forum, Odeon, Library of Celsus, the Thermal Baths of Scolastika and the magnificent Greek Amphitheatre, which is still eminent for its remarkable acoustics. Patmos, Greece
Very often, Patmos is called the Jerusalem of the Aegean Sea. It is the sacred island where
St. John the Divine, whilst in exile, wrote the Book of Revelations, which constitutes the last part of the New Testament. Built 900 years ago. The Monastery of St John is an impressive structure with outstanding interior frescoes. The museum inside also exhibits priceless ecclesiastical treasures. Visit the Grotto where St John lived and actually wrote the Book of Revelations. Heraklion, Crete Greece
Heraklion is the most important town and commercial port of Crete. The well-known archaeological site of Knossos is situated only 3 miles away from the town's center and is believed to be the largest and most suggestive Minoan site ever discovered in Crete. The
Palace of Knossos was not only the residence of the ruling house but also an administrative & religious center for the whole region. The Archaological Museum of Heraklion, exhibits a fine display of Minoan culture discovered during the excavations of Knossos. Santorini, Greece Santorini is a unique island,
considered to be the lost continent of Atlantis. Marvel at the whitewashed
village of Fira, capital of the island with its narrow and picturesque
streets, perched on the Caldera rim. Enjoy one of the most beautiful
sunsets in the world, whilst relaxing over a coffee and gazing out to sea.
Visiting Oia is also a must, an inspiration to all artists with numerous
art galleries and spectacular views. Access to Fira is an amazing cable
car ride or for the more daring, by donkey.
