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.

Day 4
Delos, Greece

Day 5
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. ... Read More
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. Later, the adventure continues aboard Sea Cloud. ... Read More

Day 7
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. ... Read More
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.
