| 10 Days / 9 Nights: Athens, plus a 3-Day Cruise and 4-Day Classical Tour of Mainland Greece |  |
| Here is an outstanding opportunity to combine a 3-Day Cruise, offering great island destinations, with an outstanding Classical Tour of the most important archaeological sites on the mainland and in the Peloponnese. It’s a great way to test the cruise waters, if you’ve never cruised before, and includes quite different island ports-of-call, including Kusadasi. The Classical Tour certainly adds contrast; the sites could not be more interesting, and the landscape views are magnificent! |
