4-Day Cruise «Iconic Aegean» starts and ends at the port of Lavrion, offering a practical way to combine the Greek islands and Turkey in one short cruise. If you plan to spend extra time before embarkation or after disembarkation, Athens can also be visited independently.
Your first stop is Mykonos, where you can enjoy time in Mykonos Town and explore the island at your own pace before the ship sails overnight to Kusadasi. From there, guests may spend time in port or join an optional visit to nearby attractions such as Ancient Ephesus, depending on the excursion programme available.
The itinerary continues to Patmos, known for its religious heritage and hilltop monastery, before heading to Rhodes, where you have more time ashore to explore the Old Town, visit local landmarks or choose an optional excursion.
From Rhodes, the cruise sails overnight to Heraklion, the main port of Crete, followed by a call at Santorini. At both stops, guests may explore independently or join optional shore excursions, depending on availability and the port schedule.
With overnight accommodation on board, this cruise allows you to travel between destinations without changing hotels. It is best suited to travellers who want to experience several ports in a few days, with a mix of time at sea, short visits ashore and optional sightseeing.
