Monemvasia (Laconia)
On your second day aboard, you'll sail to Monemvasia, a Medieval town perched on a rocky enclave and accessible only via a causeway. Explore the cobbled streets, ancient churches, and fortress remnants, or savour traditional Laconian dishes.

Next, glide into Crete’s Souda Bay where you can spend your day relaxing along the golden sand or visit the Minoan Palace of Knossos to uncover one of Europe’s oldest civilisations.
Bodrum (Türkiye)
Bodrum’s marina and beautiful coastline await on your fourth day aboard. Explore the ancient ruins of Halicarnassus, including the Mausoleum (one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World), or take a stroll through the bazaars.
Patmos (Greece)
Known for its spiritual significance, Patmos combines tranquillity with history. Visit the medieval Monastery of St. John or uncover hidden bays for a swim in crystal-clear waters.
Days 7-8: Aboard Silver Muse
Paros (Greece)
Paros captures the essence of the Cyclades. Its iconic whitewashed buildings, laid-back atmosphere, and welcoming beaches make for a perfect penultimate day of exploration. Stop by Naoussa fishing village or enjoy a coffee in one of the traditional local kafeneia.
Athens (Piraeus)
Return to Athens, where your cruise concludes.
Day 8-13: Crete
After your cruise, head back to Crete for a five-night retreat at a seafront hotel. Discover the Venetian Harbour in Chania or visit local olive groves to sample some of the world’s best extra virgin olive oil. Don’t miss the chance to book a private sunset rib boat excursion and sail across Aegean waters.
Day 13-16: Santorini
End your trip in the world-famous Santorini, where volcanic cliffs and captivating views set the stage for your final three nights of relaxation. Wander through the streets of Oia and Fira, where whitewashed structures contrast against the blue domed churches. For an extra-special experience, visit a cliffside winery to sample the island’s renowned Assyrtiko wine while enjoying an unparalleled vantage point of the caldera.
