  Rhodes

  If Kuşadası gave us just a glimpse of the ancient world, then this destination leaves it to our imagination. The Colossus of Rhodes has already passed through the harbor, but it is long gone. You can visit the magnificent old town, a labyrinth of cobbled streets that will transport you to the Byzantine Empire and beyond. We spend a whole day here, giving you plenty of time to experience the crystal-clear waters, beautiful beaches and lush wooded valleys. A free excursion to Lindos is included

  Crete (Agios Nikolaos)

  The beautiful town of Agios Nikolaos surrounds the small lake where Athena and Artemis are said to have bathed and where, more recently, the Germans sunk their weapons when they withdrew from Crete in World War II. The city embodies the quintessence of the Greek island with its neoclassical buildings, restaurants, bars and shops that line the shores of the lake. Stroll through the streets and the marina, and soak up the sun in one of the many cafes.
