In the shadows of the Parthenon’s mighty 2,400-year-old columns, the only sound you hear is the ancient gravel beneath your feet. Destinations planned are the original Olympic Stadium, the Parthenon, the Acropolis Museum, an archeological site (Oracle of Delphi – Socrates), and the Temple of Apollo (and many more!). Your connection to antiquity hits home as leave this gravel-covered land to cruise the Aegean Sea, where each port brings new discoveries and timeless lessons. The cruise also is filled with on-board activities and individual island shore excursions. As you cruise, you will experience how Turkish, Roman, and Greek influences helped shape the unique blend of cultures you’ll encounter as you explore each coastal town.
