Day 3: Istanbul
Today we arrive at the 16-century-old imperial capital, which is a crossroads of civilizations between East and West, a bridge between Europe and Asia. The unsurpassed beauty of the city and its imposing monuments appear impressively as we cross the Bosphorus. You will admire the Galata Bridge, the Suleymaniye Mosque, the ancient walls, the Roman Aqueduct, while a priceless experience awaits your visit to Hagia Sophia and the Ecumenical Patriarchate. The unique aromas of spices, curry and saffron fill the atmosphere. A city with a unique charm invites you to discover it, at the same time revealing more details about the local products that enrich its gastronomy.
Day 4: Mykonos
Its name is widely known for the concepts of "cheer", "independence", "freedom" and "celebrity lifestyle". Cosmopolitan Mykonos, one of the most picturesque cruise destinations, invites you to wander through its enchanting, lively alleys and enjoy the vibrant nightlife, without restrictions. Its beaches are excellent and cover every taste. Admire the traditional windmills, capture the unique landscape and relax with a drink or a coffee in "Little Venice".
Day 5: Heraklion
In the capital and port of Crete, you will walk through the central squares and enjoy the endless blue view of the Cretan Sea, while you can enjoy fresh seafood and fish in seaside taverns. Do not miss the opportunity to visit Knossos, the most important archaeological site of the Minoan Civilization, located about 5 kilometers outside Heraklion. Its excavation began in 1899 and has been partially restored, presenting beautiful residential complexes and unique frescoes. The palace was the seat of the legendary King Minos and is associated with famous Greek myths, such as those of Daedalus and Icarus, as well as the Labyrinth with the Minotaur.
Day 6: Rhodes
Rhodes, a stunning island shining under the Greek sun, embraced by the blue waters of the Eastern Aegean, is a magical destination. The historic city, once the most important of antiquity and the famous "Island of the Knights", is now home to many picturesque villages. The historical event of the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, which stood impressively at the entrance to the harbor, reflects the antiquity of the place. Although the Colossus statue was destroyed by an earthquake in 226 BC, the old town of Rhodes, a World Heritage Site, retains its medieval splendor. Tour the medieval castle, walk the Street of the Knights and indulge in the magic of the past!
Day 7: Santorini
Santorini, the most impressive Greek island and the ultimate destination of the country, is the result of a volcanic eruption that occurred 3,600 years ago (between 1627 and 1600 BC), creating the impressive caldera. The central lagoon of the caldera, with a surface area of approximately 12 x 7 kilometers, is a unique natural wonder. The steep cliffs, 300 meters high, decorated with cube-shaped cave houses, stand out on the horizon, while the white buildings, surrounded by pink bougainvillea, shine under the sunlight. The wild beauty of the landscape and the amazing sunset, considered the most beautiful in the world, will conquer your heart!
