Below is a ‘menu’ of choices from which you can build your own personal itinerary. Each day, choose from visits to leading wineries and/or fabulous sites of the ancient world, just laze in the sun, swim or snorkel from nearby beaches... or find a taverna on the harbourside.
The archaeological story of Ancient Greece unfolds as we travel: a series of talks by our experts prepares you for the themes of the day, and each visit builds on the last. We will be sailing the waters in the wake of Cycladic artists, Minoan traders, Homer’s heroes, the warrior kings of the Trojan wars, Greek warships of the days of Pericles, Roman colonists and Byzantine traders.
At the same time we follow another theme - that of the history and development of wines in the Aegean. On most evenings there will be a tutored wine tasting and on shore we will be visiting some of the leading wineries at the cutting edge of modern viniculture. Together, these make a wonderfully exciting story.
