THE GREEK ISLES​ & TURKEY

The Greek Isles, also known as the Aegean Islands, are a collection of over 200 islands that are located in the Aegean Sea, between Greece and Turkey. Each of these islands has its own unique culture, history, and natural beauty, making the Greek Isles a popular destination for tourists from all over the world.
The Greek Isles are known for their stunning beaches, with crystal clear turquoise waters and soft white sand. Some of the most popular beaches include Mykonos, Santorini, and Crete, which offer not only pristine beaches, but also a range of water activities such as swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving.
In addition to its beaches, the Greek Isles are also famous for their rich history and culture, with many of the islands boasting ancient ruins, historic landmarks, and museums. Some of the most popular sites include the Acropolis in Athens, the Palace of Knossos in Crete, and the ancient city of Delos in Mykonos.
The Greek Isles are also known for their food and drink, with each island offering its own unique cuisine and local specialties. Some of the most popular dishes include moussaka, souvlaki, and tzatziki, and of course, the famous Greek salad. The islands are also famous for their wine, with many vineyards producing delicious white and red wines.
When visiting the Greek Isles, visitors can choose to stay in luxurious resorts or quaint, traditional villages, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the local culture. With its breathtaking scenery, rich history, and warm and welcoming people, the Greek Isles are truly a must-see destination for any traveler.

ITINERARY
DAY 1.
Athens
Your adventure begins in Athens.
​
Shrouded in myth and legend, it's hard to take a step in Athens without stepping directly into history. Temples, shrines, and statues pepper the ancient city, each dedicated to various iconic Greek luminaries – such as the original protectress of the ancient citadel, warrior goddess Athena – or Poseidon – the God of the sea. Look up towards the world-famous Acropolis from the shop-and-cafe-lined boulevard and feel a sense of speechlessness that will continuously pop up throughout the day.
A sensational hub of culture and wonder, Athens will simply enliven your soul. Take in the architectural masterpieces and timeless works of art that have stood through fallen kingdoms, various leadership and natural disasters beyond our imagination. Wander the ground of the Erectheon, Proplyea and the iconic Parthenon while absorbing the pulse of the bustling city. Make your way down the energy-charged pedestrian walkways and peruse the countless markets, shops, tavernas and cafes that call Athens home.
Resilients Lady departs at 06:00 PM, local time.
DAY 2.
Santorini​
Dock Hours: 9:00 AM - 07:00 PM
Though Thera (the official name of Santorini) is more than just a pretty face — she’s got personality for days. Go through the storied past when island hopping the coast by boat or kayak, take in the modern seafaring culture at a private beach club or immerse yourself in the natural world surrounding it by hiking through volcanic trails and hot springs.
The most surprising part of Thera happens to be what sets it apart from other Greek Isles – Santorian cuisine. Family-run distilleries feature bold ouzo infusions found exclusively on the Cycladic islands: wineries and vineyards that have produced incredible blends derived from 100 unique grape varietals for thousands of years paired with traditional recipes of mouthwatering multi-course dishes make Santorini a destination to save room for. (In your stomach and your dreams, obv).
​
Enjoy all that Santorini has to offer!
DAY 3.
Rhodes​
Dock Hours: 9:00 AM - 07:00 PM
With a past sprinkled with legends, (Hercules established one of the first ancient settlements on this very land) the modern scene is just as enticing – and you don’t have to be as strong as Hercules to enjoy all it has to offer. Offroading, rappelling and stand-up paddleboarding allow you to dive into the excitement of Rhodes’ past while immersing yourself in the thrills of its abundant landscape. For the more antiquity at heart, an impressive array of churches, mosques and synagogues offer a fascinating culture caper.
Of course no Greek isle is complete without the meat (and vegetables, seafood and libations) which are, simply put – out of this world. Traditional dishes with inspired twists from modern Grecian chefs at new and exciting restaurants blend together with classic taverna’s with a “if it’s not broke, why fix it” mentality to guarantee visitors a taste of the old, a taste of the new – and most importantly, a taste of everything in between.
DAY 4.
Bodrum
Dock Hours: 8:00 AM - 07:00 PM
Bodrum is the ideal location to live out all your keyif fantasies. Spend the day at one of its idyllic top-rated beach resorts or gaze out the window on the short drive to the nomadic village of Etrim – where notoriously warm locals are eager to share their homemade wine and carpet weaving abilities.
Geographically part of Asia Minor, or Anatolia, most of Turkey is surrounded by seas that border Europe, Africa and the Middle East – creating the perfect fusion of colliding cultures, tastes and an aesthetic unfathomable to those who’ve yet to have the privilege of wandering through its famed outdoor bazaars.
Meet up with the crew for a cocktail hour at The Sip onboard for an interesting conversation & cocktails.
​
DAY 5.
Sea Day
You should spend this day truly enjoying all the amenities that Virgin Voyages has to offer including the made-to-order cuisine curated by Michelin-star chefs, spa treatments, morning meditation yoga, a dip in the pool + so much more! Virgin Voyages has a lot to offer, and we’re sure you’ll get into something around the ship.
​
Later tonight, meet up with the travel crew at the Korean karaoke spot, The Groupie for a private karaoke session. Let’s set the tone for the night and sing all the musical hits to our heart’s content and have some amazing food and laughs. After karaoke, you never know what we will get into at sea
DAY 6-7
Mykonos
Overnight Stay
DOCK HOURS:
09:00 AM / May 24th -
02:00 PM / May 25th
Travel beyond the Mykonos that you’ve seen on your screen and lose yourself within the labyrinth of whitewashed building-lined streets – accented, of course, by blue, green or red doors and handrails (and you thought your homeowner’s association was strict.) Beauty is synonymous with Mykonos, and the only thing more beautiful than its aesthetic is its people and its acclaimed nightlife.
DAY 8.
Athens
End of Sailing
Arrival: 6:30 AM
The time has come for us to bring this experience to an end. We can guarantee that you won’t want to disembark from the boat, but all good things must come to an end. We say goodbye and plan to see each other on another Onyx Odyssey experience.
