Itinerary

Day 1 | Friday

Depart from Piraeus at 11:00. The regal Olympia, your cozy floating hotel, calls first at Mykonos, an island so beautiful it will make you feel as if you’ve fallen into a dream. Stroll the picturesque alleys of Mykonos Town and, after the sun drops into the sea, enjoy its exhilarating nightlife. From Mykonos we sail overnight to arrive for breakfast in quiet Kusadasi.

Day 2 | Saturday

Enjoy Kusadasi whose white sand beaches are a stone’s throw from the incredible excavation of the ancient city of Ephesus and its Terrace Houses (one of the world’s largest open-air museums), the House of the Virgin Mary, beautiful Sirince Village and the thrilling metropolis of Izmir. Kusadasi is also home to a fantastic harborside bazaar where you can find some of the best bargains in the Aegean.

Afternoon sail and lunch as we arrive at 16:00 at the holy island of Patmos: many believe John the Apostle wrote the Book of Revelations in a mountainside grotto on Patmos where he heard the voice of God. Further up the mountain, within the white walls of Hora, the monastery founded in his honor in 1088 stands sentinel above this verdant island. We leave Patmos and sail through another lovely Aegean evening to Heraklion.

Day 3 | Sunday

Heraklion, an ancient Venetian port and the fascinating capital of Crete, Greece’s largest island is a paradise of secluded beaches, hiking trails, rivers and archeological marvels, including the Minoan Palace of Knossos and the Archeological Museum in Heraklion. Whatever you do on this mythic island, we promise you’ll fall in love with Crete. And don’t leave the island without a bottle of Cretan olive oil, the world’s finest.

Enjoy a delicious lunch on the pool deck or a traditional Greek coffee at Thalassa Bar, on Deck 10, the Aegean burning blue beneath you as we sail from Heraklion to enjoy our evening on incredible Santorini. The island’s cliffs rise from the Aegean like a dream. Take a jeep safari into the interior or a cruise to Santorini’s smaller islands and volcanoes, visit the Akrotiri Village excavations, or just sit in a café in spectacular Oia Village and watch the sunset from 300 meters above the azure sea.

Day 4 | Monday

Early morning arrival to the port of Piraeus filled with incredible images and memories. No one can visit the Aegean just once – it’s impossible! Even three days is enough to kick start a lifelong obsession, one we’ll be delighted to help you satisfy again and again.Here’s to your next magical cruise with us…
