View quiet coves and typical Turkish island architecture at Bozcaada
Discover the World Heritage-listed ancient city of Ephesus
Visit Amorgos, beautiful Greek Island, untouched by the mass tourism
Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
Fly into the ancient capital of the world, Athens and be transferred to the Scenic Eclipse to commence the discovery of the Greek Isles & Dalmatian coastline.
Ancient Athens, the birthplace of democracy and the epicenter of Western civilization, is a city for all eternity and the starting point for your discovery voyage.
Around the 16th Century, Skala was one of the most important commercial ports in the Mediterranean, where trading of pirated goods took place. As you stroll down the windy path in the center of the island, you will find it hard to imagine that Patmos inspired St. John to write the Book of Revelation in what is now known as the ‘Cave of the Apocalypse’. Shimmering coastline, sheer cliffs and volcanic soil, Patmos is one of the smallest and most stunning inhabited islands in the Aegean.
Kusadasi is a popular Mediterranean port on the Turkish coastline. Sun, sea, bargain shopping and a lively night scene, are part of the Kusadasi attractions, but it is also home to natural wonders and ancient sites that appeal to international travelers from around the world. Kusadasi is also the ideal location for history lovers, from ancient sites, a Byzantine Period fortress and pirates of the Mediterranean. Wander the maze of the old quarter, and admire the houses decorated with flowers and birdcages.
Dominated by the 15th century Neratzia Castle and the Ancient Agora ruins, with a temple, shrine and columns, our exploration into Grecian history continue in Kos. The third-largest island in the Greek islands, Kos has been influenced by many cultures, including the Romans, the Venetians, the medieval Knights, and the Ottomans. One of the most important historical sites is Asklepieion, a medical center that followed the guidelines of the father of modern medicine, Hippocrates. Known as the ‘Cycling Island’, go for a bike ride around the endless coasts with the turquoise waters or through the mountains.
Lindos was a famous city in the ancient world and participated in the Trojan War. The last surviving ancient city that was mentioned by Homer and Herodotus, Lindos is impeccably preserved. The timeless Acropolis is perched atop the steep rock peak and overlooks the whitewashed town of winding alleyways that spills over the mountain slope. Stroll through the sprawling village, losing yourself in the snaking streets originally designed to confuse pirates.
The colorful neo-classical houses and azure beaches of Symi Town welcome us. Stand on the observation deck as you come into port, entering a picture-perfect scenic traditional village. The impeccable architecture that stretches over the surrounding mountains will captivate you. Mingle with the locals and experience everyday life. With the port at the center of the island, discover many little villages and beaches within walking distance.
Located at the south-eastern edge of the Cyclades archipelago, Amorgos is yet another beautiful Greek Island where the locals welcome you with a smile, making you feel right at home. Untouched by the mass tourism of its neighbors, Amorgos is perfect for those seeking peace and tranquillity, and the chance to get out on foot to explore. The location of the 1988 film ‘The Big Blue’, this island is a hidden gem that boasts natural landscape, mysterious caves, marvelous beaches and minimal Cycladic architecture.
Mykonos is a whitewashed paradise in the heart of the Cyclades. Discover the island where simplicity meets glamour, with minimal Cycladic architecture, traditional windmills and magical sunsets. Stroll the narrow paved streets of Chora, lined with award-winning restaurants and designer boutiques. Marvel at the emerald, azure and deep blue waters lapping at the many beaches. This is the perfect place to indulge in some included water sport activities.

The trip was terrific with great planning on your part. Most of the adventures were not mainstream and somewhat off the beaten path which made it especially enjoyable!! We felt taken care of and you all were readily available to respond to questions and issues. I would highly recommend your company and friends have already expressed interest based on our pictures and excitement.

The trip was not only memorable for the amount of animals we saw but also for the people and accommodations at the two camps where we stayed. Our first guide, BK, was a wealth of information about the animals, landscape and down to the plants and what they were used for. Everyday out was a learning experience with him. All the people at the camps were gracious and the food was excellent.
Our second camp in the Okavanga was just as good as the first as far as the staff, accommodations, food and animals. After our experience at the first camp we amazed that the high quality remained the same. Our guide, G, made sure we were able to enjoy every experience including a rush through the bush to witness a cheetah and an ensuing hunt that he heard over his radio.
In both camps there were enough guides out that if they saw something the other guides were informed which helped in seeing as much as possible. It was also nice that the concessions were large enough that we did not have vehicles following each other throughout the day.
Normally there is always something in a trip of this length that we think could be improved upon but this is the rare case where we cannot think of anything. From the time we left the States to when we returned it was one of the most hassle free vacations we took.
Perhaps emphasizing the use of the laundry facilities at the camps would be useful because of the luggage restrictions would be the only thing I can think of as an improvement to future clients.
