1st Day:
Bodrum
Welcome to Bodrum, Turkey! Jump on board to meet your captain, crew
and fellow travellers. After meeting with your tour leader in the
afternoon, we'll start to explore the famous night life of Bodrum
with our new travel mates. Bodrum is the centre of night life in the
Aegean region of Turkey and known for its amazing beaches and gullet
cruise trips. History of Bodrum dates back to the 12th century B.C.
The city was named 'Halicarnassus', which was the birthplace of
Herodotus; the 'Father of History' who lived in the 5th century B.C.
The 'Mausoleum' of King Mausolus (350 B.C.) which is one of the
Seven Wonders of the World is located in Bodrum. That's the only
structure that survived from the Classical Era is the Amphitheatre.
It is one of the oldest theatres in Anatolia with a capacity of
13.000 people, and is still hosting many shows and concerts for the
art-lovers of Bodrum. Another place that you should visit whilst in
Bodrum is the landmark of the city 'Castle of Saint Peter'. It is
one of the best preserved pieces of architecture with a history that
dates back to the Middle Ages. 'Myndos Gate' through which Alexander
the Great entered Halicarnassus is another place that you should not
miss.
2nd Day:
Bodrum – Kos
This morning we will cruise to Kos (Cos), the birth place of
Hippocrates, 'the Father of Medical Sciences'. Kos is the second
largest island of the 12 Dodecanese islands and has a very mild
climate and very fertile lands. The island houses a 560-year-old
tree, a 211-year-old fountain and a 290 km long beach. You may take
a swim in Lambi Beach which is very close to Kos Harbour. Overnight
at Kos.
3rd Day:
Levita or Amorgos
Early morning we pull anchor and start the sail to Amorgos. Amorgos
is one of the popular islands in Greece with white houses, crystal
clear water and a peaceful atmosphere. It is no coincidence that Luc
Besson chose to shoot the first part of the film "The Big Blue"
here. Once only visited by young travellers, Amorgos has become
quite a "trendy" island since the film was released, and it is no
surprise that you will find more adventurous people here than usual.
The coastline is 112 kms long, surrounded by impressive mountains
and rocky hills and the island is one of the best spots to taste
traditional Greek cuisine and wine. In the evening you will have
free time to visit the island on your own. Depending on the
weather/wind conditions we may sail to Levita instead of Amorgos.
Levita is also a popular island on the Aegean Sea famous for its
white houses, long beaches and peaceful atmosphere.
4th Day:
Levita or Amorgos - Santorini
As the sun comes up we head for the magic summer madness of
Santorini. It has been said that the sunsets in Santorini are the
best in the world. From the Caldera, watch breathtaking views of the
volcano & neighbouring islands. Santorini is one of the major
tourist attractions of Europe with its marvellous climate and
perfect observation conditions, you will experience a wild beauty
created from a volcano that lies in the middle of the bay. Today you
will have free time to explore the island.
5th Day:
Santorini - Ios
Early this morning we pull anchor and start the sail to Ios. A lazy
day ahead filled with sun tanning, listening to music and on board
meals. We stop at an ideal swimming spot on the way to Ios - the
famous tourist destination. Visitors come for its golden beaches and
the characteristic Aegean architecture. Ios is well known as the
party island with the lively atmosphere and the endless fun. The
capital is built at the point where the ancient city was, where
white houses unfold and its windmills and narrow small roads can be
seen on the hill tops. We remain floating in the bay over night.
6th Day:
: Ios – Paros - Naxos
We depart Ios for Naxos. On the way we stop for a swimming break in
Paros. Then we sail to Naxos.The island of Naxos is the largest and
most central island in the Cyclades. Approaching the island by boat,
you can see two small islands to the left and right of the harbour,
one with the little church of Myrtidiotissa, and the other called
Palatia which is linked to Naxos Town. The imposing gate, Portara is
an ancient marble temple dedicated to Apollo. Ligdamis ordered this
to be built in the god's honour in the 6th century B.C After the
orientation walk in this impressive island you will have more free
time to explore the town and to swim in the warm waters of the
Aegean Sea – with an optional excursion.
7th Day:
Naxos – Mykonos
Departing from Naxos in the small hours of the morning we head for
Mykonos. It is no coincidence that this, the most cosmopolitan of
all Greek islands, attracts so many visitors from the entire globe.
Here the steep mountains to be encountered in most of the Cyclades
islands give way to low, rocky hills which combine with superb
beaches. The capital Hora, with its colourful harbour in which
little fishing boats nest happily side by side with luxury yachts,
presents quite a different picture from that of the majority of
Aegean island towns. Mykonos is spread out over a flat area, and the
whitewashed streets stand as brilliant white cubic houses with
stepped walls for sitting on.
8th Day:
Mykonos
The guests will leave the boat with precious memories by 10:30 after
breakfast.
The
beautiful Cyclades Islands, the island of Mykonos and the
surrounding islands, are on the mouth of the Aegean open sea, the
weather conditions can occasionally become unpredictable, due to
choppy seas and high winds. In the case that captain of the boat
believes it is safer to change the planned itinerary of the tour, an
alternative route will be followed. This may result in landing on
different islands than presented on the sample tour itinerary or
remaining on the same island until the weather conditions allow us
to continue further. Therefore please consider the below itinerary
as a sample route which may be changed depending on the weather
conditions.
