Itinerary

Day 1 : Athens/GREECE

-- - 7:00 PM

Piraeus is the seaport for Athens, the capital of western civilization, which boasts a fantastic mix of classical ruins and vivacious modern life. In a single day, you can climb the hill of the Acropolis to wonder at the Parthenon, join the lively Athenians in Constitution Square, and then find a welcoming taverna for some spirited bizouki music, plenty of ouzo to drink, and with luck, energetic Greek dancing.

Day 2 : Mykonos/GREECE

8:00 AM - 6:00 PM

The narrow passageways of Mykonos are a twisted maze of whitewashed houses, miniature churches, lazy windmills, and tiny cafes serving up Greek specialties. Sample the freshest squid or lobster just snatched from the blue Aegean Sea, or shop for typical flokati rugs.

Day 3 : At Sea

Day 4 : Limassol/CYPRUS

The birthplace of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, is nearby on this island - the third largest in Europe.
