Monemvasia

Greece

Day
2
Date
Aug 27, 2028
Arrive
8:00 AM
Depart
6:00 PM

Although connected to the mainland by a causeway, the great hump of Monemvasia looming from the sea is an island. The medieval city seems to tumble down the sheer rock to the sea, crowned by the Byzantine church of Ayia Sophia nearly 900 feet above. In the Middle Ages, the famous Malmsey wine was made here.

Date
Aug 26, 2028
Depart
10:00 PM

Piraeus has been the port for Athens since 482 BC. The busy harbor is filled with ferries and cruise ships making their way to the Greek Islands and other Mediterranean cities. The busy metropolis of Athens and its treasure trove of antiquities lie just a few miles from the port.

Agios Nikolaos, Crete

Greece

Day
3
Date
Aug 28, 2028
Arrive
8:00 AM
Depart
6:00 PM

This charming village of white houses climbing up the slopes is beautifully situated on the sparkling Gulf of Mirabello. The attractive Venetian harbor is surrounded by restaurants, outdoor cafes and clusters of shops selling everything from necessities to souvenirs.

Mykonos

Greece

Day
4
Date
Aug 29, 2028
Arrive
8:00 AM
Depart
6:00 PM

The quintessential Greek island of Mykonos is marked by whitewashed houses, domed churches, imposing windmills, and a labyrinth of winding streets designed to disorient pirates. Everywhere there is a dash of bright, bold blue - doors, shutters and window frames, sea and sky.

Bodrum

Turkey

Day
5
Date
Aug 30, 2028
Arrive
8:00 AM
Depart
6:00 PM

Located on the azure Aegean, a stop at Bodrum on a Holland America Line cruise offers a glimpse into the leisurely lifestyle of the vacationers who flock to the Turkish Riviera to layout on its sun-drenched beaches, dine at trendy restaurants and take their yachts out on the smooth, clear water.

Kusadasi (Ephesus)

Turkey

Day
6
Date
Aug 31, 2028
Arrive
8:00 AM
Depart
11:00 PM

Kusadasi in Turkey is the gateway to one of the most legendary cities of the ancient world: Ephesus. St. Paul preached in its Great Theater, while the facade of the Celsus Library survives as a testament to the city's role as a center of learning and culture.

Istanbul

Turkey

Day
8
Date
Sep 2, 2028
Arrive
7:00 AM
Depart
5:00 PM

Arriving in Istanbul, Turkey on board a ship is an unforgettable experience. The Bosphorus, dividing Europe and Asia, welcomes passengers with ocean breezes, soaring seagulls and-if you're lucky-playful dolphins that frolic en route to the port. On deck is where the views of Istanbul's best attractions await.

Canakkale

Turkey

Day
9
Date
Sep 3, 2028
Arrive
8:00 AM
Depart
5:00 PM

The Turkish city of Canakkale lies along both sides of the Dardanelles strait that links the landlocked Sea of Marmara to the Aegean. Like Istanbul on the Bosphorus - which connects the Marmara to the Black Sea - Canakkale straddles Europe and Asia while also stretching across the history of Western civilization.

Volos

Greece

Day
10
Date
Sep 4, 2028
Arrive
8:00 AM
Depart
6:00 PM

The span of highrise buildings that line the waterfront at Volos speak to modern Greece, rather than the ancient land. Indeed Volos is a very Greek city, a busy port and not high on the list of places for a traveler to visit.

Patmos

Greece

Day
12
Date
Sep 6, 2028
Arrive
7:00 AM
Depart
10:00 PM

Deserted for centuries because of constant raids by pirates and the Turks, this tiny arid island was first settled in 1088 when the Emperor of Constantinople made it a gift to the monk Christodoulos Latrnos so that he could establish a monastery in honor of St. John the Divine on the site.
