Legendary Aegean - 4 Night

Greece and the Mediterranean may be the land of legends, but our legendary experience is no myth. Packing in the serene beauty of the Greek islands and book-ended by two enthralling cities, your journey will take you to Kos, the iconic shores of Mykonos, and the ‘majestic island’ Chios. You can explore medieval villages, hit the beach and climb the slopes of Mt Dikeos, if you’re looking for adventure. No matter which excursions you choose, there will be countless tavernas and cafes to soak up the atmosphere.

Cruise itinerary

At-a-Glance Itinerary
Day 1
Depart 18:00

Istanbul

Soak up the city in the Mediterranean
that never sleeps, and never has.
Before you join us onboard, explore
Istanbul’s rich mix of bustling markets, vibrant back streets and countless landmarks. Everywhere you turn, spice aromas and eclectic architecture will
pique your interest. When you join us, we embark on a voyage of discovery, and you get your first taste of a Celestyal dining experience.

Day 2
Depart 20:00

Chios

With a rich history stretching back to ancient times, Chios’ mysteries and beauty capture hearts and minds. This ancient island is rumored to be the birthplace of the legendary ancient poet Homer, with the Daskalopetra, or Teacher’s Stone, marking the spot where he taught his students and narrated his poems.
If you discover Chios on foot with us, you’ll weave your way from the black stone beach of Mavros Gialos and its volcanic rocks to the abandoned village of Anavatos. Seeking shelter from the marauding Ottoman troops.

Day 3
Depart 18:00

Kos

Rugged white cliffs soar towards the sky, crystal beaches magically appear, and lush green landscapes stretch as far as the eye can see – Kos island is a beauty to behold. Once you step foot on its shores, you can discover a bounty of ancient monuments, pristine beaches, and rustic mountain villages.

Day 4
Depart 20:00

Mykonos

The island, according to Greek mythology, was formed by the bodies of giants slain by Hercules. The most recognisable site on Mykonos is the row of immaculate picture postcard white windmills overlooking the water. Every visitor takes that picture. The Old Town has many delightful cafes and tavernas along its winding alleys and time will pass very quickly in these lovely, relaxing surroundings.

Day 5
Arrive 07:00

Athens

While your tour may be drawing to an end, the tantalizing city of Athens still lies ahead. Delve deep into the city’s side streets, bursting with life and culture. Or, reserve your spot on our incredible excursion to clamber up high to the Acropolis with us for a stunning view of this thriving, cosmopolitan city. As the sun sets, take in the Athens skyline by night and wonder at the dancing Aegean. There’s no better place to end your experience than here.
