Day 1 - Athens

Arrive: Sun 17 October 2021 / Depart: Sun 17 October 2021 at 21:00

Piraeus is Greece's largest port and has been a gateway to the Mediterranean since 482 BC. It lies on the innermost point of the Saronic Gulf and is a short drive from Athens, the cradle of Western democracy and culture. Throughout the ages, Athens' lofty Acropolis has been a source of inspiration. The ancient ruins scattered throughout this legendary city are reminders of Greece's great cultural heritage.

Day 2 - Mykonos

Arrive: Mon 18 October 2021 at 07:00 / Depart: Mon 18 October 2021 at 22:00

Mykonos, a former 18th-century pirates' bastion, is now a sophisticated and cosmopolitan island resort. This quintessential Greek island offers a maze of winding streets, graceful windmills, inviting beaches, domed churches and whitewashed houses accented in blue. Dotting the waterfront are cafés, taverns and tempting shops.

Day 3 - Naxos Town

Arrive: Tue 19 October 2021 at 08:00 / Depart: Tue 19 October 2021 at 18:00

White-washed villages and Venetian-inspired mansions shimmer against a dramatic display of turquoise water giving way to an ink-blue sea. Here, alleys bustle with shopping and cafés are close to secluded beaches. Tranquil mountain hikes lead to vestiges of ancient Greek and Byzantine cultures, including mighty Mount Zeus, the highest peak in the Cyclades and home of the king of Greek gods.

Day 4 - Santorini

Arrive: Wed 20 October 2021 at 07:00 / Depart: Wed 20 October 2021 at 18:00

Of all the Cyclades Islands, Santorini is often considered the most dramatic. Once an active volcano, it was known as Stongyle, or the Round Island. In about 1500 BC, the volcano erupted with such force that the center of the island literally exploded, leaving the haunting submerged crater into which Crystal Serenity sails. The island's small villages were preserved in the ashes and recent excavations have uncovered a fascinating view of everyday life from 3,500 years ago. Santorini's dark landscape offsets its simple, yet refined Cycladic buildings, which glimmer in the sunlight. The rich volcanic soil is ideal for grapes and the local vines produce a cherished crop known for its "special volcanic taste." Thíra, or Fira Town, is laid out along the edge of a cliff that partially forms the rim of the now extinct caldera. A picturesque site, it exudes charm and an atmosphere of leisure that can be attributed to the easy-going Greek lifestyle.

Day 5 - Mandraki, Nisyros Islands, Greece

Arrive: Thu 21 October 2021 at 08:00 / Depart: Thu 21 October 2021

The mythological creation of Poseidon as he pursued the giant Polyvotis to the island of Kos, Nisyros is said to have been cleaved from that island and tossed on its own into the Aegean. Today, it’s one of the loveliest jewels of the sea, whose capital of Mandraki offers wild beaches colored with black volcanic pebbles, vibrant squares of dining and shopping, and a trove of cultural riches to explore at the Archaeological and Folklore museums.

Day 5 - Kos

Arrive: Thu 21 October 2021

Rich in mythological folklore, stepping on to this Aegean isle is like stepping into the pages of classical literature. It was warriors from Kos who fought for Greece in the Trojan War, and Hercules is said to have spent time here, too. The 500-year-old Tree of Hippocrates still stands, beneath which the father of medicine taught his students. Today, the golden beaches and turquoise waters of Kos will inspire your own poetry.

Day 6 - Kos

Day 7 - Rhodes

Arrive: Sat 23 October 2021

Rich with natural beauty and colorful history, Rhodes represents one of the most architecturally varied locations in Europe. Hellenistic, Byzantine, Medieval and Turkish influences intermingle with abundant sunshine and dry air to cast a magnificent light over the island that the ancients dedicated to Apollo, the God of Light. High on a cliff, the ruins of the Temple of Athena sit amidst the beautifully preserved Acropolis at Lindos.
