Milos, Greece
Volcanic Milos shows off classic Cycladic beauty: the pretty whitewashed capital, Plaka, spilling over a hilltop, the coastline fringed with wind- and sea-sculpted rock formations, soft sandy beaches and aquamarine coves. Bask on the flat rocks of stunning Sarakiniko Beach or explore 2,000-year-old catacombs.
Santorini, Greece
Sprinkled like sugar over sheer, black volcanic cliffs, Santorini’s whitewashed capital, Fira, is a sight to behold. Wander the narrow streets or venture along the clifftop to pretty Oia for that iconic shot of the blue- domed church. Your ship will spend the evening in port, so take a ringside seat in a clifftop bar to watch the ery sunset.
Mykonos, Greece
A cosmopolitan paradise that attracts more than its fair share of beautiful people, Mykonos Town is the archetypal image of the Cyclades, with immaculate whitewashed houses, windmills and winding alleys. Explore the sandy beaches, wander through the ancient temples on neighbouring Delos and venture out on your overnight stay to enjoy the legendary nightlife.
Rhodes, Greece
A visit to the old city of Rhodes is like stepping back
to the time of the Crusades as you stroll the polished cobblestones of the Street of the Knights and explore the medieval Palace of the Grand Masters. Or join an excursion to the acropolis of Lindos, perched high on a hilltop overlooking the sparkling Bay of St Paul.
Heraklion, Greece
The busy capital of Crete is a former Venetian harbour with a history dating back even further, to the time of the Minoans. Visit Knossos, once home to Europe’s oldest civilisation and the setting of the legend of Theseus and the Minotaur and delve further into the art and creativity of the Minoans at the city’s extraordinary Archaeological Museum.
Patmos, Greece
Many believe the exiled Saint John the Evangelist wrote the Book of Revelation in a mountainside grotto on this beautiful island, which is fringed with pebbly beaches and limpid bays. Visit the hilltop monastery founded in his honour in 1088, but don’t miss the chic little port town of Skala, packed with stylish shops and cafés.
