DAY 1 ARRIVE IN ATHENS, GREECE. (Sat.)
Welcome to Athens! At 6 pm, meet your Globus Host and traveling
companions for a welcome drink.
DAY 2 ATHENS. (Sun.)
Sightseeing with a Local Guide features a visit to the worldfamous
ACROPOLIS, perched high on a rocky outcrop
overlooking the city. Here, see the Parthenon, the Erechtheum
with its Porch of Maidens, the Temple of Athena Nike, and
enjoy a panoramic view that includes glimpses of the Temple of
Olympian Zeus, Theater of Dionysus, and the beautifully preserved
Theseum, where Socrates taught. Later, a city orientation tour
features the Old Parliament House and a picture stop at the
Panathenaic Stadium. Built in the 2nd century AD, it is the only
stadium in the world built entirely of marble, and was host to the
opening and closing ceremonies of the first modern Olympics
in 1896. The rest of the day is at leisure. How about a Greek
dinner tonight? Your local host knows where to find local fare and
entertainment reminiscent of Zorba the Greek. (B)
DAY 3 ATHENS–LAVRION/PIRAEUS (EMBARKATION)–MYKONOS. (Mon.)
This morning, head for Lavrion/Piraeus, where you will sail into the
deep-blue waters of the Aegean Sea, easily settling into the cruising
routine of sunbathing, sipping cool drinks, splashing in the pool, and
reveling in the delights prepared by the ship’s expert chefs. Later,
dock at the mountainous island of Mykonos with its characteristic
windmills and dazzling white houses. Time to wander at whim
through narrow paved streets lined with trendy boutiques and shady
tavernas before returning on board. (B,L,D)
