    The highlights of this cruise

    When you wake up in your suite the morning after departing from Piraeus (Athens), the first dream destination – Santorini – lies in front of your veranda. Visit the quaint villages of Megalochori* and Pyrgos* with their blue-and-white houses nestled against the crater rim. A touch of history awaits you further south on Crete setting out from Agios Nikolaos: the excavation site of Knossos* offers you many an insight into Greek antiquity and a village idyll. After a stay on the largest Cycladic island Naxos, you will reach lively Mykonos, a hotspot with jet-set flair. Stroll through the narrow, winding streets and enjoy the Greek hospitality. In Bodrum, a boat trip on a traditional gulet* offers breathtaking views of the Turkish town and heavenly bays. Paros, which is known for its wonderful beaches and traditional villages, also offers time for a little relaxation. Pure maritime history can be experienced up-close on Hydra with its proud captains’ houses and mansions. The island is very popular with wealthy Athenians. Back in the port of Piraeus (Athens), the EUROPA 2 will then bid you farewell.

    * The pre- and post-cruise programmes and shore activities are not included in the cruise price and are in the planning stage. Subject to change.

    Bodrum is a picturesque city with whitewashed mud houses spilling, densely packed, down the hillside. To the north of Bodrum are the important archaeological sites of Miletus and Didyma. Miletus was once the biggest city in the ancient world. The Milesian school of thought was founded there in the sixth century, with the result that Miletus is now heralded as the birthplace of philosophical and scientific tradition. The temple at Didyma is simultaneously a place of pilgrimage and the site of an oracle dedicated to the god Apollo.
