DAY 1 ARRIVE IN ATHENS, GREECE. (Wed.)
Welcome to Athens! At 6 pm, meet your Globus Host and traveling
companions for a welcome drink.
DAY 2 ATHENS. (Thu.)
Sightseeing with a Local Guide features a visit to the world-famous
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 (EMBARKATION). (Fri.)
Head for Lavrion, where you will sail into the deep-blue waters of the

Two ports of call are on tap today. First up: coastal Cesme, known as
Kysos in ancient times. Situated on the tip of the Cesme Peninsula, this
popular resort area is one of the best wind- and kite-surfing destinations
in the world. Maybe walk along its picturesque seafront or haggle
for bargains along at the street market. Next, discover mountainous
Mykonos with its iconic windmills, dazzling white houses, trendy
boutiques, and shaded tavernas. (B,L,D)
Day 7 CRUISING: SANTORINI. (Tue.)

breathtaking panoramas. (B,L,D)

Our port of call this morning is RHODES to explore the Old Town with its

public beaches and the colorful shopping district are an easy walk
from the port. (B,L,D)
Day 9 CRUISING IZMIR, TURKEY. (Thu.)
As we cruise towards Izmir, Turkey’s second-largest port, there’s plenty of
