From Athens, you'll travel to Nafplio, Mycenae and Delphi, passing beneath the Lion Gate into a Bronze Age citadel before exploring Delphi’s temple ruins on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, once sought for the words of its oracle. Near Kalambaka, you look across Meteora’s immense rock pillars to monasteries built high above the Thessalian plain. Then you'll board your Aegean cruise, hear the low hum of the ship and catch sight of islands across the water. Explore Mykonos, walk Ephesus’ marble streets and call at Patmos before sailing on to Santorini, where you gaze across the caldera from villages perched above volcanic cliffs.
day 1Begin Your Greek Journey in Athens
You'll arrive in Athens and find antiquity threaded through the city: marble columns beyond cafe tables, temple ruins beside narrow streets and the Acropolis high above the rooftops. After checking in, you can explore the streets at your own pace, perhaps turning into Plaka where pedestrian lanes curl past neoclassical faades and bougainvillea tumbles from balconies. You might catch the roasted scent of Greek coffee from a kafenion or pick up a sesame-crusted koulouri from a bakery. Later, meet your Travel Director and fellow travellers, ready to begin twelve days together in Greece.
