Athens (Piraeus), Greece
Walking in the shadow of the Acropolis in the Agora, you can almost hear the voices of Plato, Socrates and Aristotle arguing about who was the greatest philosopher. Ancient Athens, known as the birthplace of democracy and the cradle of western civilization, is a city for the ages and a perfect place to begin and end our journey to the Greek Isles.

Mykonos, Greece
One of the most cosmopolitan of all the Greek Islands, Mykonos is a contrast of rocky hills and beautiful beaches. Hora, the capital, spreads around a colorful harbour, a popular meeting place, overlooked by a variety of tavernas, in which fishing boats nestle side by side with luxury yachts. We will overnight here in order to enjoy everything that Mykonos has to offer. The nearby island of Delos is a UNESCO World Heritage site and easily accessed from the port via ferry.

Skyros, Greece
Untouched by international tourists, Skyros is one of those Greek islands with unique character and tradition. Chora, the main town of Skyros, is one of the most picturesque settlements on the island. Nestled on the slopes of a hill, it offers an incredible view of the vast Aegean Sea. Wander the narrow alleys of Chora, have a cup of coffee at one of the traditional coffee shops, explore the Medieval Castle that sits on the top of a hill above Chora.

Skiathos, Greece
The most sophisticated of the Sporades, abounds with trendy shops where barely-clad visitors taking time off from the nearby beaches shop for expensive wisps of clothing and jewelry. Go a few blocks inland and you'll find charming flower-decked houses and gardens overflowing with fruit trees. It is also home to Little Banana nude beach.

Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey
Kusadasi is a popular Turkish port of call for cruise ships, as not only is it a bustling resort town full of shops, bars and restaurants, but it is also the main access point for the famous archeological site at Ephesus. Extensive excavations have revealed an ancient city through which visitors can now wander and observe the wonders of a bygone civilisation. Near Kusadasi, on Turkey's turquoise coast, the ship may make a stop at Camlimani, a small bay where we may swim, snorkel, and stroll the pine scented grounds near the beach.

The island of Santorini is perhaps the most breathtaking of all the Greek Islands. Around 1500 BC, a volcanic eruption destroyed the centre of the island, leaving a crescent shaped rim of cliffs around a harbour formed in the volcano's caldera.

Sifnos, Greece
Located in the western part of the Cyclades, Sifnos stands out thanks to its traditional architecture, fascinating culinary scene and amazing beaches. The island is also characterized by a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.

Hydra, Greece
Hydra is a town of stately mansions all built around 1800 by blockade runners who had made fortunes outwitting the British during the Napoleonic Wars. As there are no cars, for the spectacular view from the Monastery of Ilias you'll have to ride a donkey to the top.
