Day Ermoupoli, Syros, GreeceArrives 07:00 AM Departs 04:00 PM
Syros is an important island in the Cyclades, but rather off the tourist map. Just the sort of place we like. The town (named for Hermes) is the capital of the island group, and its airy Miaouli Plaza is a wonderful, palm-lined place to sit in a cafe and have a drink. The medieval Venetian village of Ano Syros crowns a hilltop nearby. Wander the narrow, cobblestone streets to the impressive 13th-century Agios Georgios church. Back in town, the Eastern Orthodox Church of the Assumption holds an icon by the Greek painter known as El Greco. A small archeological museum has some very fine Cycladic figures, and the Ermoupolis Industrial Museum recounts the island legacy of shipbuilding and other occupations.

Day Kusadasi (Ephesus), TurkeyArrives 08:00 AM Departs 11:00 PM
"Kusadasi in Turkey is the gateway to one of the most legendary cities of the ancient world: Ephesus. St. Paul preached in its Great Theater, while the facade of the Celsus Library survives as a testament to the citys role as a center of learning and culture. Not far from Ephesus, the Temple of Artemis (also known as the Temple of Diana), one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world, once stood, drawing pilgrims from around the Mediterranean. While it no longer stands, it is possible to walk amongst its foundations and the remains of its towering columns. Other historic sites can also be found nearby: The House of Mary is believed to be the home of Jesuss mother at the end of her life, and the Basilica of St. John, constructed in the 6th century, marks the location of his tomb. (Like Mary, he spent his final years in Ephesus.) Nearby, the Selcuk fortress reflects the period of Byzantine and Ottoman control of the region."

Day Pylos, GreeceArrives 07:00 AM Departs 05:00 PM
Pylos occupies a superb and dominant position on one of the best natural harbors in Greece. Your gaze is inevitably drawn to the bay that is almost landlocked due to the position of the offshore island of Sfaktira. The Battle of Navarino, which took place here one night in 1827, effectively sealed Greek independence. An unusually stylish town with a pair of medieval castles, Pylos is an excellent base for exploring the Peloponnese. Enjoy time at leisure to explore this town, which spreads across the slopes of the hill, its picturesque cobbled lanes lined with two-story houses. Opposite the harbor, in the Square of the Three Admirals, a three-sided column rises between two canons - one Turkish and the other Venetian. The figures of the admirals of the three fleets, English, French and Russian that defeated the Turko-Egyptian navy in the Battle of Navarino are represented. A visit to Niokastro, one of the two castles guarding the harbor, affords wonderful views out over the bay.

Day Naxos, GreeceArrives 08:00 AM Departs 11:00 PM
Sailing into Naxos harbor, youll pass the Portara, the columned portal of a 6th-century BCE temple of Apollo that was never completed. It stands on a small island welcoming those arriving by sea. Naxos is the largest of the Cyclades Islands, and its tall peaks catch passing clouds, providing enough rainfall to make it exceptionally verdant and productive. The island also is a source for emery stone, one of the most important natural abrasives since ancient times. As such, Naxos ruled the Cycladic region and was noted by Herodotus as the most prosperous island around 500 BCE. The town, and indeed the other villages on the island contain many historic remnants of Greek, Byzantine, Venetian and Ottoman domination. The medieval Venetian Kastro atop the town is still occupied, and makes a fascinating place to recapture the spirit of earlier times. Within its confines stands the French School, now a museum, where Nikos Kazantzakis studied as a youngster. Villages in the countryside hold many pleasures, such as the Byzantine frescoes at the monastery of Panagia Drosiani in the village of Moni. The Sanctuary of Demeter, built in 530 BCE, stands in splendid isolation, while the Venetian Bazeos Tower can be visited en route to the village of Halki, home to a distillery and museum dedicated to the aromatic liqueur Kitron, distilled from the fruit and leaves of the citron tree. Near Apollonas village, a 28-foot marble statue of a kouros lies unfinished in an ancient quarry, a silent testament to a rich past.

Day Fiskardo, Kephalonia, GreeceArrives 08:00 AM Departs 10:00 PM
The picturesque harbor of Fiskardo retains the flavor of a by-gone time with its Venetian-styled houses painted in pleasing pastel colors, a harbor full of small boats and various-sized yachts all moored just a few feet from the restaurants and cafes circling the harbor. The seafood is particularly fresh here where they take great pride in their preparation of delicious Greek cuisine.
