Day by Day Summary and Map

Day 1 - Friday - Jun 28, 2024
Athens (Port of Piraeus), Greece
Athens (Port of Piraeus), Greece      
Arrive in Athens and transfer to Piraeus, where you will embark Sea Cloud in the late afternoon. Settle into your cabin and take in our first Greek sunset at sea.
Day 2 - Saturday - Jun 29, 2024
At Sea
At Sea      
Our first morning onboard is spent at sea, bound for the Cyclades and reveling in the blue magic of the Aegean horizon from our classic tall ship. Relax on deck with a book or journal. Watch the crew dance across the rigging to trim four masts' worth of sails by hand. Attend interactive discussions led by the onboard team of experts as they introduce the region's history and ecology.
Day 3 - Sunday - Jun 30, 2024
Tinos, Greece
Tinos, Greece      
Drop anchor at the island of Tinos, a sculptor's haven dotted with villages full of terraced hillsides, Venetian-era dovecotes, and quarries renowned for their superb green marble. Explore the picturesque village of Pyrgos, generously adorned with carved marble facades. And visit the Church of Panagia Evangelistria. Built around a miraculous icon, it's Greece's holiest shrine-and thousands of pilgrims make their way here every year to pray.
Day 4 - Monday - Jul 1, 2024
Amorgos, Greece
Amorgos, Greece      
The easternmost island of the Cyclades, Amorgos is a bit less frequented than many, but no less impressive. After dropping anchor, take in the beautiful domed churches and windmills of the main city, a scenic enclave perched in the mountains. Explore the Panagia Hozoviotissa monastery, clinging tenaciously to a cliff face above the sea. Like so many others in this region, it was built a millennium ago to protect a precious religious relic.
Day 5 - Tuesday - Jul 2, 2024
Santorini, Greece
Santorini, Greece      
Venture into remarkable Santorini-an island archipelago formed from a single volcanic cone that erupted 2,600 years ago to bury the resident Minoan culture in ash. Sail directly into the caldera and then drive through windswept vineyards to reach spectacular high views from the town of Oia. Tour the Archaeology Museum and excavations at Akrotiri, an important Minoan town preserved under volcanic ash like Pompeii, with well-built houses, streets, waterworks, pottery, and art.
Day 6 - Wednesday - Jul 3, 2024
Delos, Greece
Delos, Greece      
At Sea      
Designated a UNESCO site in its entirety, uninhabited Delos is an outstanding archaeological gem. In myth, it's the birthplace of the twin Greek immortals Artemis (goddess of animals and the hunt) and Apollo (god of healing, music, and light). Spend a morning surveying the Terrace of the Lions and exquisite Temple of Apollo, among the many incredible ruins preserved here. This afternoon, the adventure continues onboard Sea Cloud.
Day 7 - Thursday - Jul 4, 2024
Sifnos, Greece
Sifnos, Greece      
At Sea      
In the morning, set foot on a rugged island known for its flavors, its beaches, its 227 churches, and its poets. A quaint harbor and scenic upper chora (village) invite exploration, and tempting local comestibles can be found at a waterfront taverna. This is also a fine place for a brisk walk or a lazy stroll along the beach. As afternoon arrives, we prepare to hoist Sea Cloud's sails once more and depart for Piraeus.
Day 8 - Friday - Jul 5, 2024
Athens (Port of Piraeus), Greece
Athens (Port of Piraeus), Greece      
Enjoy a farewell breakfast onboard before disembarking Sea Cloud and transferring to the airport for your flight home-unless you've opted for a three-day post-voyage extension in Crete. A two-day pre-voyage extension in Athens is also available, should you want that upfront intro to the region.
