Cruise Itinerary: Anikitos
After your arrival in the mythical city of Athens, a person from our English-speaking team will be waiting for you at your departure exit to assist you, inform you of all the details of your trip, clear any doubts, answer your queries and make a brief presentation of the city. The transfer to your hotel will be conducted in one of our private vehicles.
When you arrive at the hotel, your assistant will help you with check-in. The rest of the day is for you to relax and to enjoy Athens at your own pace.
After your breakfast and at the appointed time, we will commence the panoramic tour of the Athenian Neoclassical Center: the Parliament, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the University, the Library, and National Academy, the Ilion Palace, the Temple of Zeus and Hadrian's Gate, the Panathenaic Stadium, and many other monuments and sites of great interest. You will learn all there is to know about their history and background from the licensed English-speaking Tour Guide accompanying you on this tour.
After the panoramic tour, we will visit the "sacred rock", the spectacular, unique and magnificent Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum. The entrance fee to both sites is included. At the end of the visit, you can either choose to return to your hotel or go off to start your own adventure through the charming and picturesque streets of Plaka.
In the evening, a walking-tour is included and will take you through the prettiest areas of Athens, such as Anafiotika, Thissio, Monastiraki, and Plaka.
In the morning and after a tasty breakfast, one of our vehicles will be waiting for you along with your assistant to transfer you to the port of Piraeus, where you will embark on your cruise ship. During the cruise, you will enjoy the brilliance of the sun, the deep blue of the Aegean and take part in the activities and services offered. In this package, Greca includes three meals, two excursions, and unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. In this way your only concern will be how to make the most of it and have a great time.
Your first destination will be the famous island of Mykonos where the cruise ship will dock from 6:00 p.m. until 11:00 p.m. before continuing your itinerary through the wonderful Greek islands. Mykonos is the meeting point of the international "jet set" for its wonderful beaches, dazzling shops, and vibrant nightlife that contribute to its well-deserved reputation. Moreover, you may also wish to visit the historic island of Delos, the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis according to Greek mythology. This small island, inhabited since 3000 a.C., was one of the most significant cultural centers of Antiquity. Finally, you will have the opportunity to pre-book other excursions organized by the cruise company to yet more fascinating places of these destinations.
At 07:30 hs, after a calm and comfortable night's cruising, you will awaken at the Turkish coast and in the port of Kusadasi. The starting point of your shore excursion will be the ancient city of Ephesus once visited by Saint Paul, Marc Antony, and Cleopatra, among others. Ephesus was one of the twelve Ionian cities and flourished as an important cultural, religious and commercial center.
At noon, the cruise will depart again, this time to the island of Patmos where Saint John wrote the Apocalypse and Jesus Christ was revealed to him in the Grotto of the Apocalypse. From 17:45 to 21:00 hs, you will have the time to visit the cave, the monastery dedicated to Saint John and to sroll in the port of this small but so important island.
After a generous breakfast, you will awaken in the largest Greek island, Crete. More precisely you will start your day in Heraklion, the capital of the island and home of King Minos and his minotaur. This city was the most significant of the Minoan civilization, with the oldest palatial complex in Europe, the Palace of Knossos.
Free morning and then around noon we will depart for the amazing and picturesque island of Santorini. As our cruise ship approaches the island we are filled with admiration and awe. It is the perfect moment to capture the beauty of the capital city of Fira and its white houses overhanging the cliff that overlooks the volcano. From 4:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. you will be able to explore it through its winding narrow streets and watch one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world, from one of the numerous pastry and coffee shops burgeoning on the hillside.
Having arrived early in the morning in the port of Piraeus, one of our vehicles will drive you to the center of Athens to embark on our 2-day excursion to Delphi & Meteora.
Departing Athens, the landscape begins to transform from arid to majestic and imposing, passing through the tragic area of Thebes to the slopes of Mount Parnassus, after Arahova. Under two gigantic rocks, the Fedriades, and on an impressive cliff, the famous oracle of Delphi was founded in antiquity in honor of Apollo, God of harmony, of music and guardian of the sacred laws of Zeus. For the ancients, Delphi was the center of the world, the so-called "navel" of the Earth.
From its beginnings, the Oracle acquired great influence throughout the world, the predictions of Pythia - the priestess of Apollo, influenced notably in decision making and sometimes had a great impact on the history of cities and ancient states. The god spoke through his priestess in an incomprehensible language that only she could interpret.
Then, we will cross the Sacred Way up to the Temple of Apollo with the innumerable offerings made by different Greek and foreign cities. We will also visit the Treasury of the Athenians, one of the most important buildings found on this Sacred Way, as well as the sanctuary dedicated to Athena Pronaia. We will also visit the museum, one of the most important in Greece, where the "omphalos" or navel of the world belonging to the Roman period can be found. Moreover, it houses the impressive "charioteer of bronze", a masterpiece of Greek sculpture which even today impresses the visitor. After visiting, we will leave the slopes of Mount Parnassus, where Delphi is located, to head towards the plains of Thessaly where the city of Kalambaka is located.
Arrival to Kalambaka, dinner and accommodation.
Early in the morning we will visit Meteora, also recognised by UNESCO as a world heritage site since 1988, where the natural beauty of the region is combined with the eternal monasteries suspended or "meteora" on top of the huge rocks. Currently there remain only six in use, five for the male and one for the female monastic community. On the way back to Athens, we will pass by Thermopylae, where we can see the statue of the Spartan King Leonidas I, famous for leading the battle against the Persians in 480 BC. Back to Athens in the afternoon and drop off to your hotel.
At the appointed time, one of our vehicles will drive you to the Athens International Airport where you will have the opportunity to check in your luggage and, if necessary, take advantage of any tax refunds on the "tax-free" products you have purchased.
Undoubtedly and after spending some fantastic days with Greca, we hope to see you soon to create new and emotional moments that will never leave your memory. Good trip! or as you will say: "Kalo taksidi!"
