Europe and Mediterranean: Greece & Egypt Cruise

Azamara Cruises

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. As the largest city on the isle of Crete, with a history that dates back to the 9th century, Heraklion has seen its share of travelers over the millennia. Discover the many treasures at the Archaeological Museum, regarded as one of the most important museums in Greece. Given that it's Greece we're talking about, the food here is naturally outstanding, and comes with a delicious Cretan touch.

Day 1 Port of Call Athens/Piraeus Departure 6:00pm

Overview

Today Piraeus is the home base of Greek shipping, the largest commercial fleet in the world, apace bound to the sea like few others. The harbors of Zea and Mikrolimano as well as Phaliro play host to countless yachts and sailing craft throughout the year. Piraeus was known in medieval times as Porto Leone, a name due to the enormous stone lion, which guarded the port's entrance. Today, the life of Piraeus is centered on its three ports: the main, central one, and those of Zea and Mikrolimano. You can walk around the central harbor, shared by cargo and passenger ships alike, and watch the constant comings and goings of goods and people from around the world. Having completed your tour of the central harbor of Piraeus you will then head south traversing the peninsula and arriving at Peiraiki, one of the most picturesque neighborhoods in the city. Here one finds the harbor of Zea, one of the largest marinas in the Mediterranean. If the night finds you in the area, you can try one of the many bars found nearby. You can continue your tour along the waterfront heading towards Kastella but a small deviation toward the city center will be useful for then you can visit the verdant square of the municipal Theatre with cafeterias and shops of all kinds surrounding it. The magnificent building housing the Municipal Theatre as well as the Town Hall and the Library complete the picture presented by the main square in the city. Piraeus's little natural harbors are among its busiest and most touristy areas: Mikrolimano, Passalimani, Zea, Freatida, and Hatzikiriakio. Countless seaside tavernas provide delicious seafood washed down with the uniquely Greek drink, ouzo. The fresh smell of the sea and the sounds made by the assortment of caiques, yachts, and sailing ships, which are moored next to the tables, complete the enjoyment of the food Beyond the port, the most impressive spots are the hills of Profitis Ilias and Kastela with their neoclassical mansions and modern buildings which look as they are hanging over the sea.

Day 2 Cruising
Day 3 Port of Call Alexandria/Egypt Arrival 6:00am

Overview

The Mediterranean opens its arms widely to embrace its eternal bride (Alexandria) as she moves gracefully, while its waves splash on her rocks. All the world was a witness to this historical marriage contract about 2330 years ago. It was an illustrious wedding scented by history and concluded proudly under the auspices of Alexander the Great. The beginning of the idea was on the road to the Mediterranean coast when an isthmus dividing the Mediterranean from Lake Mariot attracted Alexander. Alexander pondered deeply about this site with its strange advantages that were suitable for the foundation of a great modern city in compliance with its period. Alexander's city was divided into five districts named after the first five letters of the Greek alphabet. From these districts, the Royal District occupied nearly one-third of the whole area of the city and overlooked the Eastern Harbor. The Egyptians lived in the national district (Rhakotis) and the Jews lived in the 4th district known as the Delta, considered to have been the most important district in the ancient city. As for the main avenue - parallel to our present Nabi Daniel street - it was boarded from the north by the gate of the moon and from the south by the gate of the sun.

Day 7 Port of Call Marmaris Arrival 8:00am Departure 8:00pm

Overview

The cosmopolitan charms of Marmaris, which used to be a fishing village less than 20 years ago, will surprise anyone with a choice of accommodation and entertainment. Marmaris is a Turkish Rivera. Once you set your foot here you will join its true vacation atmosphere! The old quarter of the town with its bustling bazaars and restaurants is well worth a visit. During the day, people head for the beach to do catamaran trips, parasailing, water skiing, sailing, scuba diving, and the list goes on! Yet in Marmaris, you are not confined to the town beach. Icmeler and its beach is 8 km down the road. Alternatively, take advantage of one of the boats that chug away in the morning from the marina to scores of sandy beaches like Cleopatra's Island and Turtle Beach.Once a little fishing port, Marmaris has developed into one of Turkey's busiest and most Anglicized resorts. Its port welcomes luxury cruise liners, which disgorge passengers keen to sample the town's extensive facilities and visit the archaeological sites nearby, just to name a few - the ancient city of Efes, (the second biggest city of the Roman Empire, after Rome); another sightseeing place not to be missed is Pamukkale, that is considered to be the 8th world wonder. And much more! Marmaris also is South Aegean's prettiest resort for scuba diving. Several dive centers in Marmaris arrange guided diving trips, and excursions and even provide diving lessons for inexperienced individuals, eager to try out this underwater sport. Shopping is a delight in Marmaris. Some truly shop till they drop into this shopping Mecca! Leather goods of all kinds, natural sponges, and the local blue glass beads (the Boncuk) are among the bargains to be found in the friendly little shops along the downtown bazaar. Charming boutiques at the end of the promenade offer kilims, carpets, and embroidery as well as original fashions.

Day 8 Port of Call Kos Arrival 8:00am Departure 8:00pm

Overview

After Rhodes, Kos is the second largest and most popular island in the Dodecanese, and there are superficial similarities between the two. Here also the harbour is guarded by an imposing castle of the Knights of St John; the streets are lined with grandiose Italian public buildings; and minarets and palm trees punctuate extensive Hellenistic and Roman remains. Although its hinterland, for the most part, lacks the wild beauty of Rhodes' interior, acre for acre Kos is the most fertile of the Dodecanese, blessed with rich soil and abundangroundwaterer. Mass tourism has largely displaced the old agrarian economy amongst the population of just over 28,000, and outside the main town and Kardhamen, this is very much a family-holiday isle, where you can turn the kids loose on pushbikes. Except for Kos Town and Mastihári, there aren't many independent travellers, and from early July to early September you'll be lucky to find any sort of room at all without reservations far in advance, or a prebooked package. The tourist industry is juxtaposed rather bizarrely with cows munching amidst baled hay, and Greek Army tanks exercising in the volcanic badlands around the airport. All these peculiarities acknowledged Kós is still definitely worth a few days while island-hopping: its handful of mountain villages is appealing, the tourist infrastructure excellent (including such amenities as regular city buses and cycle paths) and swimming opportunities are limitless - virtually the entire coast is fringed by beaches of various sizes, colours and consistencies.

Day 9 Port of Call Heraklion Arrival 8:00am Departure 8:00pm

Overview

Iraklion is the capital of Crete and of the prefecture of Iraklion. It is easily accessible from Athens by at least four flights a day. There are international flights from Iraklion to Frankfurt and Amsterdam. Between April and October, there are charters from many other European cities. Iraklion is a very busy city, especially during the tourist season, so it is advisable to book reservations for accommodation before arrival, especially during August. If you are traveling by car there are parking lots near the end of Kalokairinou Street at the Chanioporta and below the Archaeological Museum, one of the many uses of a medieval moat. Make use of them and take the opportunity to see the historical monuments. As you walk up 25 August (Odos 25 Avgoustou) Street you will see numerous agencies advertising tours of all kinds. Santorini, Rhodes, and Mikonos are some of the most visited islands. You can also arrange tours of Knossos, Festos, Gortyn, and the Samaria Gorge. Most of the offices are professional and offer good value. However, to avoid confusion and disappointment, pay attention to the details of the trip, such as the time of pick up, time of arrival at the site, time spent at the site, and entrance fees; these may sometimes be vague. The National Road is easily reached from Iraklion. You can drive to Agios Nikolaos in 1 hr (72km) and Chania in 2 hours (137km). This road is enjoyable and the scenery is spectacular. Drive with caution on all roads in Crete. All means of transportation, including donkeys, farm equipment, and tour buses use the roads at varying speeds. These facts are not truly understood by many of the tourists or even the locals. Iraklion is the fifth largest city in Greece and there has been a settlement here since Neolithic times. Although few remains have been found in the city proper, it was probably a port for Knossos during Minoan and Roman times. The Saracens captured it in 824 A.D. and renamed it El Khandak (The Moat) after the moat they dug around it. The city was regained by the Byzantine Empire in 961 A.D. after many unsuccessful attempts. After the Crusaders occupied Constantinople in 1204, they gave Crete to Boniface of Monferrat who sold the island to Venice for one thousand pieces of silver. Under Venetian rule, the arts flourished, and “Candia”, as the Venetians renamed it, became a center of learning. Many scholars and artists took refuge in Candia after the fall of Constantinople in 1453. The Venetians began construction of the city walls in 1462, which were completed more than a century later. The walls were 4km in length, of a triangular shape, and had seven bastions. The Venetians also built the harbor and various other masterly architectural works. The walls proved their deterrent strength when the city was besieged for 21 years, one of the longest sieges in history. The final surrender came in 1669 after 100,000 Turks and 30,000 Venetians had been killed. Turkish occupation was heavily resented by the Cretans and continuous guerrilla warfare was waged against the Turks and, in return, the Turks often made reprisals against the Cretan population in the cities. Iraklion grew in size after the 1913 union with Greece. However, its strategic location again made it a target for invading forces in 1941. The German bombardment during the Battle of Crete caused a great amount of damage and after the war, the city was extensively rebuilt. Chania was originally the capital of Crete. The administrative center of Crete was transferred to Iraklion in 1971.

Day 10 Port of Call Paros Arrival 8:00am Departure 6:00pm

Overview

The real attraction of Parikía is simply to wander the town itself, especially along the meandering old market street. Arcaded lanes lead past Venetian-influenced villas, traditional island dwellings, and ornate wall fountains. The town culminates in a seaward Venetian Kastro, whose surviving east wall incorporates a fifth-century BC round tower and is constructed using masonry pillaged from a temple of Athena. Part of the base of the temple is still visible next to the beautiful, arcaded church of Ayios Konstandínos and ayaia Eleni which crowns the highest point, from where the fortified hill drops sharply to the quay in a series of hanging gardens. If you're staying in town, you'll want to get out into the surroundings at some stage, if only to the beach. The most rewarding excursion is the hour's walk along the road starting just past the museum up to the Ayii Anaryiri monastery. Perched on the bluff above the town, this makes a great picnic spot, with cypress groves, a gushing fountain, and some splendid views.

Day 11 Port of Call Syros Island Arrival 8:00am Departure 6:00pm

Overview

Syros or Siros or Syra is a Greek island in the Cyclades, in the Aegean Sea. It is located 78 nautical miles (144 km) south-east of Athens. The area of the island is 83.6 km2 (32 sq mi) and it has 21,507 inhabitants (2011 census).[1]The largest towns are Ermoupoli, Ano Syros, and Vari (el). Ermoupoli is the capital of the island and of the Cyclades. It has always been a significant port town, and during the 19th century, it was even more significant than Piraeus. Other villages are Galissas, Foinikas, Pagos, Manna, Kini and Poseidonia.
