Außerdem entdecken Sie Hydra, eine kleine, komplett autofreie Insel mit dem Charme vergangener Zeiten. Anschließend überqueren Sie den Kanal von Korinth und legen in Galaxidi an. Lassen Sie sich von diesem malerischen Dorf in seinen Bann ziehen, in dem Ruhe und Beschaulichkeit den Ton angeben.
Der Süden Italiens verspricht unvergessliche Momente, lassen Sie sich von der Schönheit der Küsten und der historischen Stätten, die nichts von ihrer Faszination verloren haben, in ihren Bann ziehen. In Apulien offenbart Ihnen Gallipoli, was auf Griechisch „die schöne Stadt“ bedeutet, seine hellenischen Ursprünge und besticht mit einer einzigartigen Atmosphäre, in der das Dolce Vita großgeschrieben wird.
Die Fahrt beginnt, und Sie entdecken Taormina am Fuße des schneebedeckten Ätna. Durch die Gassen bummeln Sie zum beeindruckenden antiken griechischen Theater, einem Wunderwerk der Akustik.
In Syrakus auf der Insel Ortygia, dem ältesten Teil der Stadt, schlummert die Seele Siziliens: Schlendern Sie durch das Labyrinth aus von Kirchen, Palästen und Relikten aus der Antike gesäumten Gässchen und besuchen Sie die majestätische Kathedrale im Zentrum der Insel.
In Valletta, der Hauptstadt der Insel Malta und ehemaligen Hochburg des Ritterordens, endet die Kreuzfahrt.

Die griechische Hauptstadt liegt am Rande des Saronischen Golfs im Osten des Landes. Der Name Athen stand einst im Plural und bezog sich auf die ersten Dörfer, welche die Akropolis umgaben. Dieses Felsplateau mit historischen Bauwerken, die zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe gehören, ist einfach bezaubernd. Weiter unten haben Sie die Gelegenheit, eines der lebhaftesten Viertel von Athen zu besichtigen: Plaka mit seinem Gewirr aus bunten Gässchen, die am Abend nach Moussaka und Garnelen mit Knoblauch duften. Das Archäologische Nationalmuseum und das Museum für kykladische Kunst gehören auch zu den wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt und erlauben es, die glanzvolle kulturelle Vergangenheit Athens zu entdecken.

Der Kanal von Korinth trennt die griechische Region Peloponnes vom Kontinent und lässt sie so zur Insel werden. Er wurde 1893 eröffnet, hat eine Länge von etwas mehr als sechs Kilometern und ermöglicht Handels- und Tourismusschiffen einen 400 Kilometer langen Umweg um die Halbinsel zu vermeiden. Die beiden Seiten des Kanals erreichen eine Höhe von etwa fünfzig Metern. Das Verfolgen von den Außendecken aus der Fahrt des Schiffes über diese schmale, von hohen, ockerfarbenen Felsen umgebene Wasserstraße stellt ein einzigartiges Erlebnis dar, das Sie nicht verpassen sollten.

Gallipoli, das von dem griechischen Wort kalle polis – schöne Stadt – abstammen soll, macht seinem Namen alle Ehre. Die am Absatz des Stiefels gelegene Stadt, die auch als „die Perle Apuliens“ bezeichnet wird, hat viele Attraktionen zu bieten. Das Weiß ihrer Fassaden erinnert an ihre griechischen Wurzeln, während ihre Architektur ihre vielfältigen Einflüsse widerspiegelt. In der Altstadt, die auf einer Kalksteininsel liegt, konzentriert sich das kulturelle Erbe dieser Stadt mit tausend Gesichtern, die mal römische Kolonie, dann byzantinisch, im Besitz der Päpste, normannisch oder unter der Herrschaft von Tarent war. Sie allein erzählt die ganze Geschichte der Zivilisationen des Mittelmeers.

Mit den zerklüfteten Felsküsten, den endlosen Stränden, dem Ätna, der bedrohlich wie ein Patriarch über seiner Insel thront, und den blühenden Gärten auf den Hügeln präsentiert Sizilien seine Landschaften wie ein Ladenbesitzer, der seine Schätze feilbietet. Cicero beschrieb sie als die „schönste Stadt der Welt“, einst war Syrakus eine der bedeutendsten Städte Siziliens, die es in ihrer Glanzzeit sogar mit Athen aufnehmen konnte. In der zentralen Stadt des antiken Griechenlands lebten zahlreiche Zivilisationen, von denen jede ihre Spuren hinterließ. Dank der Einflüsse der arabischen, römischen, normannischen, byzantinischen und spanischen Kulturen zeichnet sich Syrakus heute durch eine außergewöhnliche Palette an Düften, Farben und Aromen aus.

Jh. die Stadt schützenden Wehrmauern gehören auch zu den bedeutendsten Bauwerken der Stadt. Die in Terrassen angelegten Gärten von Barraca verleihen Ihrem Rundgang eine grüne und blühende Note.

Between golden beaches and pine forests, discover the historic villages of Parikia, Naoussa and Lefkes, as well as the stunning Byzantine Panaghia Katapoliani basilica.
The Katapoliani church, also known as Ekatontapiliani church, was founded in the 4th century and is one of Greece’s most beautiful Paleo-Christian monuments. Located in the heart of Parikia, the basilica was nicknamed “the Church with the Hundred Doors” in the 7th century, as a nod to the splendour of the Temple of the Hundred Gates (Ekatonpylon) in ancient Thebes in Egypt.
A few kilometres from there, on the island’s heights, explore its former capital, Lefkes, with its labyrinth of little streets and whitewashed stairs overgrown with bougainvillea. You will discover the old wash houses, still used today by some inhabitants, the House of Literature, picturesque Ramnos street, its taverna and boutiques, as well as the superb views over the sea and Naxos in the background.
Then you will head for the north of the island and Naoussa, a fishing village, a perfect picture postcard of the Cyclades. The whitewashed houses here are decorated with blue doors and shutters, the octopus dry on washing lines while the small bars and tavernas have a trendy appearance. However, the real eye-catching site here is the Venetian castle, constructed in the 15th century by the Sommaripa family. Rising out of the sea, behind the port and its traditional boats, it has impressive views over the azure sea.

From the pier, board your coach for a 1 hour drive to the Archaeological Site of Delphi.
Once arriving, you will take the Sacred Way that was followed by ancient pilgrims and visitors to the site. The path begins at the southeast corner of the site and winds its way up the hillside, past ancient treasuries and monuments, to the temple of Apollo.
It is an imposing temple of the Doric order whose existence was woven through the turbulent history of the site and endured numerous incarnations. The remains that you can see date back to the 4th century B.C. The Temple of Apollo was first built around the 7th century B.C. by the two legendary architects Trophonios and Agamedes. The exterior was decorated with shields captured from the Persians at Plataea. This temple was also of the Doric order and had 6 columns at the front, and 15 columns at the flanks. Today, you can see one complete column of the facade and portions of five more columns. Also visible are the foundations of the outer colonnade and the interior sekos.
You will continue your walk and pass the spare ruins of the Senate of Delphi, followed be a pile of rocks, marking the site of the early Delphi Oracle which according to legend was guarded by the snake Python. For those who wish, the Theatre can be visited.
A few steps from the sanctuary of Apollo, the Delphi museum has exhibited for over a century, the objects found at the archaeological site. He is one of the four largest museums in Greece, with Athens and Olympia. Vases, bronzes, sculptures found in temples, offerings made to Apollo by the pilgrims, objects of gold and ivory found under the slabs of the Sacred Way can be admired in this museum.
You will then return to the port.

Homer mentioned in the Iliad two famous generals who took part in the Trojan War Epistrophos and Schedias from the old towns of Anemoria and Kiparissos. These towns were situated around where Arachova stands today. Later, in about 334 B.C. Philip the Second King of Macedonia destroyed both towns and their populations dispersed over the hills until a new town, Arachova, was built. Today the 'jewel' of Parnassos Arachova remains vital because it keeps its traditions alive and the residents remain simple and hospitable. From the first moment, you will feel a different wind blowing up here, and understand why the locals work so hard to upkeep the areas natural beauty.

A few kilometres from there, on the island’s heights, explore its former capital, Lefkes, with its labyrinth of little streets and whitewashed stairs overgrown with bougainvillea. You will discover the old wash houses, still used today by some inhabitants, the House of Literature, picturesque Ramnos street, its taverna and boutiques, as well as the superb views over the sea and Naxos in the background.
Then you will head for the north of the island and Naoussa, a fishing village, a perfect picture postcard of the Cyclades. The whitewashed houses here are decorated with blue doors and shutters, the octopus dry on washing lines while the small bars and tavernas have a trendy appearance. However, the real eye-catching site here is the Venetian castle, constructed in the 15th century by the Sommaripa family. Rising out of the sea, behind the port and its traditional boats, it has impressive views over the azure sea.
