JEWELS OF THE AEGEAN

Overview

Click map for larger size

Start your Jewels of the Aegean cruise vacation in Athens, Greece. Enjoy a morning orientation of Athens, Greece's capital, before boarding your cruise ship to set sail in the deep blue Aegean Sea. Although there are plenty of activities on board to keep you entertained on your cruise, such as sunbathing and sipping cool drinks, you also enjoy stops along the way. On the windmill-dotted island of Mykonos, you have time to wander through the narrow paved streets lined with trendy boutiques and shady tavernas. Stop in the Turkish port of Kusadasi, Heraklion on the island of Crete, Santorini (weather permitting), and the tiny Greek island of Patmos, where St. John the Divine wrote the Revelation. The 11th-century monastery with its valuable manuscript collection is well worth a visit. Also, cruise to the historic island of Rhodes and explore the sights in the historic Old City with its ramparts and palaces built by the Knights of St. John during the Crusades. Rhodes also offers beaches and shopping within easy walking distance of the port. Your trip ends back in Athens. What an unforgettable Aegean Sea cruise vacation!
