Why You’ll Love This Cruise
Mycenae, Epidaurus, Monemvasia, Olympia, Delphi — this is three thousand years of history in a single sailing week, threading the Peloponnese coast that road travelers spend two weeks attempting.
What sets it apart is the company: guest lecturer Eugenia Alexiou, an expert in Byzantine art and licensed guide, sails with you to bring every site to life. Departures run in the calm shoulder seasons — March–April and October–November — when the ruins are quiet and the light is at its photogenic best.
