The highlights of this cruise
Picturesque Greek coastal towns and the dazzling metropolis of Istanbul – this cruise with the EUROPA 2 offers an incomparable break amidst architecture steeped in history and idyllic landscapes.
The EUROPA 2 awaits you in the Greek port city of Piraeus (Athens) for a cruise through the fascinating Aegean Sea. During a stroll through the narrow alleys of Adamas on the island of Milos, you can admire the typical Cycladic architecture – white houses and balconies entwined with flowers characterise the scenery. The next day, Syros offers a colourful contrast with its pastel-coloured classical villas and wonderful old town. In lively Mykonos, a hotspot with jet-set flair, you can enjoy sandy beaches, designer boutiques as well as trendy cafes and beach bars. A day at sea on board the EUROPA 2 increases the joyful anticipation of Volos. Experience unforgettable moments visiting the Meteora monastery complex* in a breathtaking location, some of which are perched on cliffs hundreds of metres high. Cafes, tavernas and small boutiques welcome you to Skiathos, as do a lively atmosphere and long sandy beaches that invite you to enjoy a swim. Kavala is one of the most beautiful cities in Greece and will delight you with its old town while a hike through the Nestos Gorge* is also highly impressive. After passing through the stunning Dardanelles with its fascinating views, you will reach your final destination: Istanbul. Discover the famous Blue Mosque*, the lively bazaar* or the majestic Bosporus with its magnificent marble sultan’s palaces and historic fortresses during a boat trip* before your cruise with the EUROPA 2 ends in the imposing metropolis.
