Cruise Segment of Itinerary
Saturday - Aug 16, 2025
Day 1
Athens (Port of Piraeus), Greece
Depart: 18:00:00
Athens is still as iconic as ever. Winding pathways from ancient times transformed into modern-day roads and streets lead you to the Acropolis and other archaeological sites. It is a land soaked in history and mythology, but not stuck in the past. As you wend through back alleys, passing the street art, and getting serenaded by street musicians, you are never lost. You are simply taking a journey to an unknown destination. You may find yourself at the likes of the Church of the Holy Apostles at the southeast corner of the Ancient Agora, a less-crowded historical site away from the flocks of tourists. Try your hand at haggling with local vendors at the Plaka or Monastiraki flea market. There are so many handmade wares and trinkets to peruse and purchase. Keep an eye out for the more risque souvenirs if you want a good laugh. Aside from venturing through the cradle of Western Civilization, you can explore the port of Piraeus. It is the biggest port in Greece and one of the most important ports of the Mediterranean. Centuries of history have transformed this seaside town from a wartime fortress to a major shipping and transportation center. ... Read More

Nafplion, Greece
Arrive: 08:00:00
Depart: 21:00:00
In the Saronic Gulf lies the charming small town of Nafplio, Greece. Narrow stone streets amid whitewashed houses and quaint local shops create a romantic picture straight out of a postcard. Find the steps leading to Palamidi castle perched on a cliff atop the town for a heart-pumping exploration. Not far from Nafplio you can explore the remains of King Agamemnon's castle in Mycenae. This site contains the history of the dominating culture of mainland Greece from the late Bronze Age. Nearby in Epidaurus, discover the famous amphitheater where you can stand in certain points at the bottom and hear the speaker at a location in the seats all the way to the top. ... Read More

Day 3
Cruising the Corinth Canal, Greece
Arrive: 05:30:00
Depart: 07:00:00
Standing at 70 feet wide at sea level, 81 feet wide at its top level, 300 feet tall and only about four miles long, the sheer limestone cliffs of the famous Corinth Canal can only be sailed by smaller ships and boats. The intimate size of our yachts allows us to freely navigate it for an adventurous expedition. Standing on deck as we make our way through the narrow passage, its awe-inspiring perspective will invoke a true sense of exploration. ... Read More

Delphi, Greece
Bus Travel
Itea, Greece
Depart: 18:00:00
Before heading into the legendary Delphi, you will dock in the charming coastal town of Itea. Feel free to explore Miami Beach (not to be confused with Florida's), its prestigious Blue Flag beach. The expansive local fields of Amfissa olive trees create a lush, green landscape known as the "sea of olives". The peak of Mount Parnassus in the distance adds to the sense of wonder in this picturesque scenery made for an impromptu photo shoot. When you're ready for some ruins, the Oracle at Delphi awaits. To explore the Sanctuary of Apollo and other ancient remnants, you must climb the slopes of the mountain on a path known as the Sacred Way. It is here you will gaze upon what's called the navel of the world. As you stand among the crumbling stones that make up the Athenian Treasury and ancient stadium, you cannot help but get swept back in time. There is a great sense of adventure that makes you feel like a certain iconic archaeologist as you step over stones the ancient Greeks once walked. Panoramic views behind the remaining structures create a richer picture of life before modern times. The surrounding environment creates a harmonious balance between nature and manmade marvels. Delphi is a place where history and mythology become entangled, where one cannot exist without the other. Everything feels simpler. But that does not make it any less inspiring. It is a privilege to witness these ancient Greek ruins that have stood the test of time. ... Read More

Day 4
Katakolon (Olympia), Greece
Arrive: 07:00:00
Depart: 19:00:00
Katakolon is a little seaside village on the western coast of Ilia and it's exactly what you picture when you think what a Greek village should be. You can taste the day's catch fresh from the fishermen's nets at the gateway to Olympia. With a small population and plenty of shops and restaurants to peruse, it's the perfect way for travelers to get an intimate look at Greek life. The home of the first Olympic Games in 776 BCE, Olympia still holds wonder. As explorers wander onto the ruins the first thing that catches their eyes are the stone columns. Still standing where they were first lined up in ancient times, one cannot help but let their imagination run wild as they fantasize about running the first flame across the field. Many are tempted to take their place in history when they catch sight of the pedestals where Olympic winners once stood to receive their spoils. But please, don't stand on the victors' columns. It will have to be enough to admire them or strike a triumphant pose next to one of the first place pedestals. Fun fact: This is where the saying, "Don't rest on your laurels", came to be. Victors of the Olympic Games earned a wreath made of aromatic bay laurels as a symbol of their triumph. But these long-past victories were never meant to help them hold their social status long term. Wander further into the ruins and find the remains of the Temple of Zeus. The platform is roped off for visitors, but just standing at its base is enough to inspire awe. Visitors can spend hours at the site and marvel at how all those structures have managed to keep standing after all this time. ... Read More

Depart: 23:00:00
Amid the Ionian island of Kefalonia lies a small fishing village, Fiskardo, with all the charms of a tiny Greek town but with the elegant feel of a luxurious getaway. As a popular choice for yachts to dock, the harbor hosts plenty of upscale seafood restaurants. Opt for a quick dip after a day of adventure at one of Fiskardo's many pebble coves. For a more typical beach day, venture about 40 minutes out to the famous Myrtos Beach. If you're seeking a day filled with activity, try diving, snorkeling, or kayaking with the locals. Find great hiking at the Venetian Lighthouse, Cypress, and Battery Trails. ... Read More

In the north of the Ionian Sea lies Corfu, a Greek island with history and cultural influence from the French, Venetians, and British, all leading to its modern-day, cosmopolitan reputation. While most Greek Isles are associated with ancient ruins, Corfu offers a different historical lens with monuments like Achilleion Palace. It also holds a quainter side with surrounding villages to explore like the charming ghost town of Old Perithia in Kassiopi. It's not a trip to Greece without visiting some of Corfu's stunning beaches like Canal d'Amour or Paleokastritsa. ... Read More
