Overview
From the Greek capital Athens we sail to Thessaloniki, the second largest Greek city after Athens, where epic history meets Greek city vibes and where you can sample great restaurants and little eateries found along palm-lined avenues as well as close to the port. Beautiful churches appear at every corner, seasonal markets sell colourful local produce and shaded spots on Aristotelous Square are where guests can watch the world go by with a home-made ice cream.
Our next stop is Kusadasi, coastal gateway to the Hellenistic ruins of Ephesus, famed for one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Temple of Artemis. The next destination is Greece's largest island, Crete - a place of mystery, myths and legends. There's the chance to take in the bustling capital Heraklion and some of Crete's extraordinary archaeology and history. You can also learn more of the art and creativity of the Minoans.
Santorini is instantly recognisable, with soaring landscapes, clusters of whitewashed houses in the capital Fira, incredible sunsets and of course the iconic blue-domed church at Oia. A visit on this idyllic odyssey that should never be missed is Mykonos, the Island of Winds, with its atmospheric Old Town, immaculate whitewashed houses, winding alleys, lovely little churches, delightful restaurants and instantly recognisable picture-postcard white windmills side by side, overlooking the sea.
Our last port of call is Milos which is known as the Island of Colours - and it really does live up to its name with stunning landscapes, wind and sea sculptured rock formations, soft sandy beaches, secluded coves and crystal-clear aquamarine waters. The island's most famous export is the Venus de Milo
