Greece is THE land of ancient sites and architectural treasures: the Acropolis in Athens, the amphitheater of Epidaurus, the reconstructed palace at Knossos, the belly button of the cosmos at Delphi, fallen columns galore on the sacred island of Delos, and frescoed Minoan palaces on Crete. But don't expect a visit there to be a sober study of the ancient world, the Greek propensity for partying dates back to Dionysus. Then there are 1400 islands to explore. Greece is much more than what you were taught at school or the predictable summer image of glorious sunsets and sandy beaches.
Spend 2 nights in Athens, then a 4 night cruise on the Ocean Countess and end with a 2 night stay in the island of Santorini. The islands of the Aegean are blessed with clear water, gentle breezes and clarity of light, that have drawn visitors throughout the ages. Walk through the medieval city of Rhodes, where crusaders gathered before sailing to the Holy Land or visit the Acropolis of Lindos perched on a hill high above the sea with spectacular views in all directions. The world renowned land mark of Mykonos, the white-washed windmills and cobbled streets will enchant you, especially in the evening sitting on the waterfront watching the sun set over the sea and the distant islands. You will also have the opportunity to visit the Minoan Palace at Knossos and see the throne room and the ancient Labyrinth. Visit Mykonos, Patmos, Rhodes, Heraklion and Santorini in Greece and Kusadasi in Turkey.
