From Corinth to Athens, sail in the footsteps of the Greek Gods and discover their most remarkable legends as well as their sumptuous dedicated temples. Discover the heart of the Cyclades, a string of islands scattered on the azure waters of the Aegean Sea like precious gemstones. Sail in the splendid Bay of Kotor and pass through the Corinth Canal, ending in Athens.
Highlights
Tour the Rector's Palace, Franciscan Monastery, and baroque cathedral
Sun bathe and swim at Nagagio Beach in Zakynthos
Sail through the Corinth Canal, that separates the Greece from the Peloponnese

Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
Today discover Hvar, a fertile island of pale stone houses surrounded by rosemary, lavender, and laurel. Drive to the 16th century hill top Spagnola Fortress for spectacular views of Hvar Town and Pakleni Island. Enjoy a walking tour of Hvar including a visit to the 17th century Municipal Theater; the Franciscan Monastery and its small gallery; the Venetian Loggia; and the Benedictine Cloister and Arsenal.
This morning explore the exceptionally scenic Mljet Island, which local legend identifies with Calypso and Odysseus’s seven year dalliance. Then sail to Dubrovnik, one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval cities and a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city contains within its ramparts the Rector’s Palace; the Franciscan Monastery, which houses a 13th-century pharmacy (the oldest in Europe); and the baroque Cathedral, with works by Renaissance painters Titian and Andrea del Sarto. There is time at leisure for independent exploration.
Sail the deep, fjord-like Bay of Kotor to reach the port town of the same name, located at the head of the bay beneath towering mountains. One of the most striking and best-preserved towns along the Adriatic coast, Kotor is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. A tour of this delightful town reveals its magnificent walls, palaces, and churches, including the 12th century St. Tryphon Cathedral, Lapidarium and the Maritime Museum.
This morning the ship passes through the Corinth Canal, the narrow waterway that separates the Greek mainland from the Peloponnese. In the afternoon, arrive at Hydra, the only Greek island free of wheeled vehicles. Walk along its gorgeous port, view the exquisitely preserved stone architecture, and browse the shops.
Call at the sacred island of Delos, which legend identifies as the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. A walking tour leads to the excavation of the main shrines of Apollo and Artemis, as well as to the Terrace of the Lions, guardians of the Sacred Lake. Continue to the island of Mykonos with its white cubic houses, characteristic windmills, and numerous chapels. Formerly a quiet fishing town, Mykonos is now a sophisticated island resort with smart cafes and boutiques. Enjoy time relaxing and swimming on this beautiful island.

Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
