SEA Athens ATHENS From the colourful markets, to the ancient monuments, to the hustle and bustle of Plateia Syntagmatos (Constitution Square), MIRTOAN SEA Athens is rich with history and an important influence on the development of Western civilization. Named after the goddess of wisdom Athena, Athens encircles eight hills within its borders. The most prominent of these, the Acropolis, stands as the ultimate architectural and artistic expression of the ancient Athenian spirit. MYKONOS Legendary both in ancient and modern times, Mykonos is one of the best-known Greek islands, and provides ample entertainment for history and party buffs alike. Just a short boat ride away from the main Crete port lies Delos, legendary birthplace of Apollo and home of the Gods. Mykonos, as typical as a whitewashed Greek island town can be, has long been famous for its nightlife, with bars and clubs rocking till dawn every night. And during the days, a short bus and boat ride takes you to some of the best—and craziest—beaches in all of Europe.

On these small islands where past meets present, one can find both peace and tranquility, as well as colourful nightlife. Narrow paths full of flowers, whitewashed houses, blue windows and white churches under the dazzling sun complimented by golden beaches: this is one of those magical places where the reality is a dream come true. SEA OF CRETE SANTORINI Crete Officially known as Thira, Santorini is the southernmost island of the Cyclades, and is regarded by some as the most beautiful of the Greek Islands. Formed by a violent volcanic eruption, the ring-shaped island has a stunning caldera lined with high cliffs—easy to appreciate when arriving by yacht. Fira, the main town, sits perched on the edge of the caldera with breathtaking views of multi-coloured cliffs, sugar-cube architecture and great shopping.
