This is the ultimate Greece
vacation with part land and part cruise.
We’ll land in Athens on a Thursday
morning and tour the famous
Acropolis and home of the Parthanon. On Friday morning we’ll head
over to the island of
Mykonos
for the next 3 nights. This island
is not only picturesque with it’s white buildings and blue trim,
the narrow meandering streets with cute shops and restaurants and
famous windmills, it’s also THE place for nightlife on the
weekends with many Europeans who come here. We’ll have a tour set
up that will take us on a 45 minute boat ride to the island of
Delos, which is an entire city
of ruins with no current inhabitants. It’s also fun to rent a
scooter or car and tour Mykonos and spend the day at one of the
most beautiful, as well as hip and happening beaches in the
Mediterranean.
Then, we board the Monarch Classic Cruises
ship Ocean Monarch for a 4-day cruise (3-nights as we will be
departing on Santorini) that will take in the
enchanting islands of Rhodes, Crete, Kusadassi (Ephesus,
Turkey), Patmos (famous for John the Baptist’s Revelation) and
the idyllic island of Santorini. We’ll debark on this
adorable island and spend 3 more days on land. There is not
a more magical island in the world than Santorini. You will
absolutely fall in love with it. We will have optional tours
set up including an all day tour visiting the caldera via a nice
wooden boat and even swimming to a natural hot springs!
There is also some great wine tasting here.
