DESTINATION GREECE

The birthplace of democracy, Athens offers the visitor the benefits of two worlds: the strong echoes of the past combined with the characteristics of the modern city. Athens is lively and vibrant from dusk till dawn, 24/7.

Walking on the rock of Acropolis, with its breathtaking Parthenon (the peak of a man's ability for architectural creation), the theatre of Dionysos and the wonderful Greek and Roman Agora, is an awesome experience that keeps bringing travellers to Athens for more than two thousand years.

The Greek islands have been an important part of Greece since ancient times, from the island that was home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World - Rhodes, to Ithaca famous home of Ulysses, hero of the Trojan War, and hundreds more.

Today the Greek islands are more famous than ever. There are hundreds of islands each one uniquely different from its neighbour. From dry barren islands such as Kea to lush Greek islands such as Kerkyra (Corfu). From holy islands like Patmos and Tinos to jet set party islands like Mykonos. And of course breathtaking Santorini, fabled lost continent of Atlantis, this uniquely beautiful island is an unforgettable experience with its sheer cliffs leading down to the sparkling waters of the Aegean.

Greece, a word that conjures up images of sparkling blue waters, sun drenched beaches, white-washed island houses, colourful sunsets and lazy afternoons. What better way to experience all that Greece has to offer than on a cruise?
