Group Trip to Greece November 6-16, 2021
Carmen and Ivy Holley, with Sweet Magnolia Travel, are hosting a guided tour of Greece with a Greek Island cruise November 6-16, 2021! We will visit many of Greece's ancient sites such as the Acropolis and Olympia, as well as the ruins in Mycenae, dating from 1,350 BC described in Homer’s epic poem, “The Iliad”. We will visit the amazingly well-preserved 2,300-year-old open-air theater in Epidaurus and visit Delphi as ancient Greeks did thousands of years ago to seek the wisdom of the Oracle, tour the excavations and visit the Archaeological Museum. We will also enjoy a cooking demonstration, where we will learn to make traditional tzatziki; take a sirtaki dance lesson; and enjoy a glass of ouzo, all the while being accompanied by an expert Tour Director who will bring Greece to life by sharing its history, stories, and insider secrets. The itinerary can be found @ https://www.globusjourneys.com/tour/Greek-Escape-plus-3-night-Iconic-Aegean-Cruise/KGK/.
Our Mediterranean vacation continues with a 3-night Greek cruise on the Aegean Sea, where we will sail from Athens aboard Greek Celestyal Cruise ship to dock on the legendary island of Mykonos to wander amid its iconic windmills and white houses. Sailing toward the shores of Turkey, we will visit Kusadasi and the ancient excavations of Ephesus. Onto the tiny Greek island of Patmos, and then we sail to the island of Crete to explore Knossos, the center of the 3,000 BC Minoan civilization. We will also sail, weather permitting, to the panoramic and volcanic island of Santorini- “The Black Pearl of the Aegean”. From the picturesque fishing villages to ancient historic sights and sailing the Aegean Sea, this Greek cruise and tour vacation has it all!
