3-Day Cruise «Iconic Aegean» starts and ends at the port of Lavrion, combining Greek islands and Turkey in a short cruise experience with overnight stay on board. It is designed for travellers who want to visit multiple destinations across the Aegean in just a few days.
The cruise includes a stop in Mykonos, where you can enjoy time in Mykonos Town and explore the island at your own pace. From there, the ship continues overnight to Kusadasi, offering the opportunity to spend time in port or join an optional visit to nearby attractions, depending on the shore excursion programme available.
The itinerary continues to Patmos, known for its religious heritage and hilltop monastery, before sailing on to Heraklion, the main port of Crete. In Heraklion, guests may choose to explore the city independently or select an optional excursion, depending on availability.
The cruise also calls at Santorini, where you can enjoy time ashore and take in the island’s distinctive caldera views. As with all ports of call, time on the island is shaped by the cruise schedule, so this stop is best suited to travellers looking for a short visit rather than a full island stay.
Throughout the journey, accommodation is provided on board, allowing you to travel comfortably between destinations without changing hotels. This cruise is a practical choice for travellers looking for a compact Aegean itinerary that combines island stops, time at sea and optional sightseeing opportunities.
