Itinerary

Begin your journey with a flight from the UK to Athens, where you’ll enjoy a pre-cruise, two-night stay. Spend your days exploring the beauty of Athens, from the famed historical monuments and remnants of Ancient Greece to the quaint narrow streets where authentic restaurants and markets await.
After your pre-cruise stay in Athens, you’ll embark Silver Muse where you’ll begin your seven-night cruise. Settle into your luxurious Veranda Suite and spend your first night sailing to your first destination.
Nafplion, Greece
Nafplion is your first port-of-call, where you can lose yourself in the romantic atmosphere of this seaside town of warm-coloured buildings and charming beaches. While you’re in this picturesque city, explore Nafplion's oldest castle, walk through the back streets to marvel at the Catholic Church and visit one or two of the many museums like the Museum of Komboloi or the Popular Art Museum. Be sure to get a taste of Greek wine and ouzo at the Karonis Wine Shop.
Syros, Greece
An island off the coast of the Aegean Sea, Syros is your next sun-soaked destination on your cruise. Localed in the Cyclades, this island is one of the lesser crowded islands, and is home to picturesque, medieval villages and inviting beaches for you to enjoy.
Aghios Nikolaos, Crete, Greece
Today, you’ll be on the island of Crete, exploring the legendary Aghios Nikolaos. This beautiful town is comprised of pastel-coloured houses and buildings that frame the renowned lake, Lake Voulismeni. The town is alive with the buzz of locals and tourists alike wandering the beautiful waterfront, enjoying a swim in the lake and indulging in the delicious local cuisines in the restaurants and cafes. Why not spend today exploring the Knossos Palace, an archaeological site that dates back to 4000 B.C.

Your next port-of-call is the island of Rhodes. This island is bursting with beauty and history, and is the perfect place to immerse in authentic cultures. This sun-soaked island is home to a handful of charming medieval towns, as well as scenic coastlines and remnants of Ancient Greece. The Acropolis perched on the hilltop of Lindos is one of the most fascinating relics of Ancient Greece, and offers a scenic view from the top, plus an experience in the authentic markets and restaurants on the way up and down.
