MYKONOS
On Mykonos you will find beautiful beaches, chic boutiques and elegant nightclubs. Beneath its sophisticated surface lies a quite essential Greek Island. Hundreds of tiny chapels dot the blue and white-washed island of Mykonos with its cubic architecture and beautiful windmills. Find a table on the waterfront in Alefkandra, a charming corner of town also known as "Little Venice" and enjoy a traditional coffee while basking in the serenity of sunset. Departing Mykonos in the late evening, you'll cruise throughout the night to arrive at Rhodes in the morning.
RHODES
Rhodes - The beautiful "Island of Roses" has a rich and varied history. On a hill above the charming town of Lindos rises an ancient acropolis dedicated to the goddess Athena, below lies the bay of St. Paul, where the apostle landed during his voyages. The crusading knights of St. John, when defeated by Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent, left behind the medieval city of Rhodes with its winding alleys, towers, turrets and medieval buildings with emblazoned facades. The Ottoman Turks then occupied Rhodes for almost 400 years leaving mosques, minarets and a Turkish bath to mark their presence. Leaving Rhodes in the evening, you will once again cruise through the night to arrive at Patmos in the early morning.
PATMOS
Patmos is an island of outstanding natural beauty known as the site of the apocalyptic Revelations of St. John the Divine, written here during his exile from the Roman Empire. The cave where St. John lived is near the site of the Monastery of the Apocalypse. The Monastery of St. John, built 900 years ago on one of the island's highest points houses priceless icons, manuscripts, splendid medieval textiles, vestments and jewellery in its treasury. After a few hours on Patmos, your cruise ship will then make the 4 hour journey to Kusadasi.
KUSADASI
The colourful Kusadasi is considered as one of the most attractive cities of the Aegean with attractive cafes and restaurants along the palm-lined boulevards. On arrival in Kusadasi, a tour to nearby Ephessos should not be missed for here history truly comes to life. Walking towards the ancient harbour, down a marble road rutted by the wheels of countless chariots, you pass architectural masterpieces like the Library of Celsus before arriving at the Great Amphitheatre where St. Paul was arrested and cast out of the city. Departing Kusadasi in the evening, the final journey is the cruise back to Piraeus, arriving at 7am on Monday morning. ![]() Information & Bookings For best results use this easy form Aegean Thesaurus Travel is fully licensed by the Greek National Tourism Organization and is a member of HATA & ASTA (the Hellenic and American Associations of Travel Agents).
