A monastery was founded there in the 11th century and it remains a site of pilgrimage and Greek Orthodox study. Religious and secular buildings in its ancient Chora settlement have received UNESCO World Heritage designation. \nOur tour begins with a visit to the Monastery of St. John\, which has a library that houses the sixth century Codex Porphyrius manuscripts of the theologian’s gospels.

The island of Rhodes has had many faces over the millennia\, from its fame in antiquity as the site of the Colossus of Rhodes statue — one of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World — to the medieval old town of Rhodes built by the Knights of St. John. While the island attracts visitors today with its cosmopolitan energy and sandy beaches\, it’s also home to several well-preserved archaeological sites\, including an ancient acropolis at Lindos that once served as its capital. Our tour begins in the city of Rhodes\, a UNESCO World Heritage site\, with a stop at its ancient port where the mighty Colossus of Rhodes statue stood before it was destroyed by an earthquake in the third century B.C.

A crescent-shaped island featuring 1\,000-foot-cliffs and a spectacular caldera\, Santorini was shaped by a volcanic explosion about 3\,600 years ago and has shifted over the centuries as the volcano erupted. In some ancient myths\, this destruction is associated with the legend of the lost city of Atlantis. With early inhabitants traced as far back as in the Neolithic era\, this island has a rich and storied past that extends from antiquity to its reputation today as a chic\, modern destination. \nEnjoy a scenic drive to the southern end of the island for a guided tour of the excavations of Akrotiri\, a unique archeological site that dates to prehistoric times. Excavations that began in 1967 reveal an amazing city with houses\, squares and workshops that were covered under a thick blanket of pumice during a massive eruption in the 17th century B.C. Further research shows that the island of Santorini was once the center of Greek civilization\, akin to the Minoans of Crete. In fact\, some refer to this site as a Minoan Pompeii. Your tour concludes in Santorini’s cosmopolitan capital city of Fira\, spectacularly perched high above sea level. You have time to explore Fira on your own or ride a cable car to the pier\, where a tender will return you to the ship. \nReturn to the boat for lunch. \nFree Time: Enjoy an afternoon to explore Santorini on your own. \nReturn to the ship for dinner. \nDay 8 | September 16 MILOS B | L | R | D\nToday the ship arrives in Milos\, a volcanic island in the East Cyclades known for its abundance of sandy beaches and stunning topography.
