The locals say that the best way to drink a glass of ouzo, the Greek anise-infused liquor, is with a cool splash of water. This refreshing Greek vacation creates a big splash with an enlightening tour of Athens followed by a 7-night cruise to the Greek Isles and Turkey. Sail from port to breathtaking port to take in the mesmerizing sights of coastal Turkey and the Greek Isles. Walk in the footsteps of celebrated philosophers, run down the same paths as ancient Olympians, and then dive into the ancient ruins and resorts of the Aegean where legendary harbors, charming villages, and pristine beaches await. From the vibrant volcanic island of Milos to the whitewashed villas of Santorini, from historic Rhodes to wonder-filled Crete, to the modern getaway of Mykonos, it’s hard to say which sparkles more - the crystal-clear water of the Aegean or the hidden jewels along its storied shores.
