Globus Classical Greece with Idyllic Aegean 7-Night Cruise(RGL)
16 days from Athens to Athens
Equal parts fresh air, fresh cuisine, and joyous laughter, the enviable Mediterranean lifestyle is based on the simple concept of balance. Seven nights on land and seven nights at sea strike the perfect equilibrium between ruins and resorts, baklava and beaches, and mythical gods and sun worshipers on this airy Mediterranean land and cruise tour. After journeying from temple to fascinating temple on our Classical
Greece tour, you’ll sail from port to breathtaking port to take in the mesmerizing sights of Ephesus, coastal
Turkey, and the Greek Isles. The island cruising begins on the cultural coast of Rhodes and continues to the glittering isles of Crete,
Santorini (weather permitting), Milos, and
Mykonos, all while the sirtaki—the lively dance made popular in the classic movie Zorba the Greek—is a joyous constant throughout this big fat Greek vacation.
