2 nights Istanbul | 10 Night cruise, Azamara Journey | 2 nights Athens | Flights & Transfers 

Get ready for an unforgettable excursion calling on eight Grecian ports, plus a few Turkish interludes along the way with Greece Intensive Voyage. Begin In Istanbul, then sail to Kepez, the gateway to Canakkale, Troy, and Gallipoli. Kavala in Greece is home to picture-perfect beaches. Next, the Byzantine beauty of Thessaloniki is breathtaking, and the ethereal magic of Meteora near Volos is sure to captivate.

After a stop in the seaside resort town of Cesme, next up is the easternmost of the Cyclades, Amorgos, where ancient Minoan tombs and towers dot the countryside. Continue your Grecian immersion with a late stay on historic Rhodes. Then take in one of the most spectacular sunsets on Earth on Santorini where we stay late. Your journey concludes in always-alluring Athens.

Cruise Highlights
    • Tour iconic sites in Athens including the Temple of Zeus, Hadrian’s Arch, and the site of the first modern Olympics.
    • Discover neoclassical buildings in the Old City of Cesme. A seaside resort town popular among locals.
    • In Fira on the Greek isle of Santorini. Take a ride to the top of the city in a cable car after a day of cafes, boutiques, and architecture.
    • One must-see in Amorgos is the Olympia shipwreck. A commercial ship run aground in 1980 that now sits in two pieces in the shallow water.
    • Stroll through Aegina and take in the pastel-hued homes in yellow ochre, coral, rose pink and even a splash of periwinkle.
    • In Istanbul, grab a kebab at a local kebapçıs and shop at the Grand Bazaar. One of the oldest and largest covered markets in the world.

DAY 5 - Canakkale (Kepez), Turkey

Once the stuff of mythology, archaeological excavations at Troy have brought life to Homer’s Iliad and the tale of the beautiful Helen, fought over by warriors like Hercules and won by means of the Trojan horse.

DAY 6 - Kavala, Greece

Clinging to the foothills of Mt. Symvolo, the city of Kavala (“the heart of Eastern Macedonia”) rises like an amphitheater out of the sea, with historical monuments and buildings almost too plentiful to list.

DAY 7 - Thessaloniki, Greece

As Greece’s second-biggest city and the Byzantine Empire’s second-most important city, the word “second” is often used to describe this port, but we’re here to tell you: Thessaloniki is anything but second-rate!

DAY 8 - Volos, Greece

Dating back to the Neolithic age and famed as the mythical “City of the Argonauts”, Volos is a modern city in the heart of Greece, and is a place of immense natural beauty and numerous archaeological sites.

DAY 9 - Cesme, Turkey

The resort town of Cesme is not only a popular destination for Turkish and tourists alike, but also for surfers—perhaps because of the golden-sand beaches, warm sapphire waters, and laid-back atmosphere.

DAY 10 - Amorgos, Greece

Each Greek Isle offers its own bit of wonder, but Amorgos? It’s especially captivating. Discover its ancient sites, picture-perfect towns, and secluded beaches.

DAY 11 - Rhodes, Greece

Said to have more fine days than anywhere else in Europe, Rhodes’ diverse historical influences are evident in an old town remarkably intact—in particular the medieval presence of the Knights of St John.

DAY 12 - Santorini, Greece

Your daydream of a Greek island meets reality in Santorini—so beautiful with its whitewashed villages and blue roofs reflecting the sea, you can almost believe the myths claiming it as the birthplace of gods.

DAY 13 - Aegina, Greece

According to mythology, Aegina got its name from a nymph who Zeus fell in love with and spirited away to this tiny Greek isle just off the coast of Athens. Experience Aegina’s many attractions and historic sites to fall in love with her charms, too!

DAY 14 - Athens (Piraeus), Greece
