New for 2009, easyCruise introduces an itinerary that combines the best of the Cyclades and Dodecanese islands with Crete and Athens - all in just 7 days.
You can be sure this will be a holiday to remember - full of exciting places from the ancient sites of Athens to laid back harbours and beaches and authentic villages that will take you off the beaten track.
From Bodrum on Turkey's Aegean coast, cruise to idyllic Kos with its beautiful authentic villages and crystal clear waters. On to Rhodes, the capital of the Dodecanese islands, with a rich and varied history, whose city centre has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From Heraklion in Crete, you can visit the famous archaeological site of Knossos to see the extraordinary remains of the Minoan civilisation. Then to picturesque Syros, dubbed "Queen of the Cyclades", an island with rich cultural heritage, tremendous beaches and there's even a Casino for those who feel lucky! You can explore Athens in a day from the bustle of the Plaka district to the splendour of the Parthenon. And finally to the cosmopolitan island of Mykonos - famous for its incredible beaches and vibrant nightlife in equal measures.
