Athens (Piraeus) to Thessaloniki
Immerse yourself in history, culture, and nature on this unforgettable nine-night voyage around the Mediterranean. From Athens, we sail to the Greek island of Crete to discover the old Venetian harbor of Chania, then marvel at Santorini's stunning volcanic landscape studded with white cube-shaped dwellings. Immerse yourself in the rich history of Rhodes, uncovering the story of its Jewish community, and take an exhilarating ride in a RIB around the coast and islets of Patmos. An overnight stay in Kusadasi in Turkey opens the door to the ancient ruins of Ephesus. A day at sea grants plenty of time to reflect on what has been witnessed so far before we reach Thessaloniki for an overnight stay, with excursions including a visit to a vineyard to try the delicious local wine.
