    Cruise dates
    27.09.2014 - 04.10.2014

    At anchor - If the ship anchors in open water the ferrying ashore will be done with tenders or Zodiacs.

    Saturday, 27.09.2014

    Scheduled flight from Germany to Athens and transfer to embarkation
    Piraeus (Athens)/Greece, departure 21.00 hrs

    Take your leave from Piraeus with one last look back at the sea of lights .

    Sunday, 28.09.2014

    Thira/Santorini/Cyclades/Greece , 10.30 – 0.00 hrs

    The first highlight of your cruise will be the picture-book panorama of Santorini. For centuries, mules have been carrying people up to Thira – but the cable car is a more comfortable way to make the journey. The narrow streets of Megalochori and Pyrgos* are a great place to stroll around. As you walk past the whitewashed houses with blue domed roofs, take the time to look at the views over the island. Discover the “Pompeii of the Aegean” at the Minoan settlement of Akrotiri*, which was buried in lava and ash as a result of a volcanic eruption around 3,500 years ago. The excavations will allow you to see what life must have been like in this long-lost culture. You can also experience some unforgettable impressions from the water: a boat trip takes you along the caldera* to the most beautiful places to drop anchor before a truly unforgettable experience awaits – the atmospheric sunset.

    Monday, 29.09.2014

    Rhodes/Dodecanese/Greece, 12.00 – 19.00 hrs

    The sunny island of Rhodes provides the spectacular setting for the next day of your holiday: make your own individual tour of discovery of the historic town centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, or take yourself along the east coast to Lindos* – a little gem with the second-largest acropolis in Greece rising above it. On a mountain bike tour, you will follow the pleasant scents of the Mediterranean. Those in search of some relaxation can enjoy the sun, sand and sea on Faliraki beach – the sun loungers are already waiting for you.

    Tuesday, 30.09.2014

    Pythagorion/Samos/Greece , 8.00 – 18.00 hrs

    Ancient chestnut trees, picturesque vineyards and bubbling sources: Samos is a delightful place and Pythagorion is the ideal starting point for getting to know the natural beauties and local history on an island tour*. The Jeep safari*, which takes you right across Samos, promises to be an exciting adventure, whilst a boat trip* is more relaxing: drop anchor in some hidden bays and dive into the crystal-clear waters.

    Wednesday, 01.10.2014

    Dikili/Turkey, 8.00 – 18.00 hrs

    The next morning, set out from Dikili to explore a lost empire: the excavations of Pergamum* – either with the Asclepion* or with the Archaeological Museum* – are testament to the size and glory of the former royal city.

    Thursday, 02.10.2014

    Myrina/Lemnos/Greece , 8.00 hrs – 14.00 hrs
    Passage through the Dardanelles Strait, 19.00 – 23.00 hrs

    One of the best-kept secrets of the Aegean is Lemnos. On this volcanic island can be found the ruins of a Venetian castle in Myrina. Take a relaxed stroll through the town at your own pace and discover the most beautiful places in the small town of Mirina. Mirina’s fabulous beaches invite you to while away some unforgettable hours in the sun or have fun in the sea. Alternatively, you might pop into one of the many tavernas that line the old harbour and enjoy a delicious Greek coffee – explore Limnos as you wish. Following a passage through the Dardanelles, your cruise comes to an end in Istanbul.

     

    Friday, 03.10.2014

    Istanbul/Turkey, arrival 12.00 hrs
    Overnight stay on board

    Whether at Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque or the covered bazaar, the city formally known as Constantinople will impress you on a city tour* – even more so if you view the sprawling city on the Bosphorus from a helicopter*. Alternatively, you can take a boat tour on an exclusive yacht along the Bosporus at sunset – the perfect way to end your cruise.
