Tour Itinerary
This is a preliminary itinerary for your group.

Jun 4, 2011 Overnight Flight
Depart from the USA.

Jun 5, 2011 Athens
Welcome to Athens. With your list of clues in hand, scour the Plaka, speak to locals and begin to discover this ancient city on a Culture Quest. (D)

Jun 6, 2011 Cruise
After a late-morning sailing from Piraeus, drop anchor in the afternoon on Mykonos, the dazzling white island with a jet-set atmosphere. View windmills, whitewashed houses and the rugged shoreline of coves and grottoes. Spend an enjoyable evening ashore. (B,L,D)

Jun 7, 2011 Cruise
Dock at the Turkish port of Kusadasi and travel inland to Ephesus, for many the high point of the whole trip. Tour a complete ancient city, walking down the marble road still grooved by chariot wheels. See the intact façade of the Library of Celsus and great Temple of Serapis, as well as the stadium, theater, baths and more. In the afternoon, dock at tiny Patmos to visit the sparkling white town, huddling under the sprawling castle-like Monastery of St. John. You will also enjoy a visit to the Cave of Revelation. (B,L,D)
