About This Cruise

<p>The Greek Islands and Turkey, from the Peloponnese to the Cyclades via the Dodecanese and the Cesme Peninsula, are fascinating, bewitching and captivating. These jewels of the Aegean Sea exude striking beauty, their scenery like a painting: jagged coastlines edged with paradisiacal turquoise water, secret coves, white sandy beaches, limestone cliffs, mountains covered by blue-shuttered whitewashed houses, century-old olive trees... However, going beyond the picture postcard landscapes, the entire ancient soul of Greece reveals itself here. Each island whispers myths, unveils forgotten sanctuaries, temples facing the wind and traditions passed down from generation to generation. A timeless odyssey, which will end on a high in Athens, city of the gods and the eternal symbol of the Mediterranean of antiquity.</p>
