Cruise Description

8 days | Athens • Mykonos • Limassol • Haifa • Heraklion

This VASCO DA GAMA cruise through the Greek Cyclades to Cyprus and on to Israel is also a journey to some of the most impressive UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the Mediterranean. Mykonos will fascinate you with its old town and Delos is not far. Here UNESCO has the mythical birthplace of Artemis and Apollon classified as particularly worthy of special protection. In Cyprus, it is the royal tombs of Paphos. There are no kings buried here, "only" rich merchants, but this does not detract from the splendor of their final resting place. From Mykonos, which will captivate you with its old town, Delos is not far away. In Haifa, chances are good that the Bahei Gardens will remain in your memory forever. The system is distributed over 19 terraces and culminates in the holy shrine of the Bab.
