Cruise Destinations from Cyprus
Below you will find a short description of some of the cruise destinations
visited by the ships in this website.
Athens /Piraeus
Piraeus (Athens to you and me) Pireus
The Acropolis
Here you will see where civilization is said to
have begun. The cradle of it all. You can walk on the Sacred Rock of the
Acropolis this vast and ancient monument. Or simply soak in the
atmosphere of Athens, a modern, bustling city with a character all it's
own.
Attica
Saint Efrem & Saint Irene Chrysovalantou
Not many people know this, but in Attica you can visit
the Convent of one of the best & most famous Miracle workers of her time.
Saint Irene Chrysovalantou had a convent built in her memory in 1930 and it
is a fine and beautiful example of Byzantine architecture.
To this day Saint Irene’s miracles are celebrated by
the Greek Orthodox Church every year on 28th of July.
After sampling the miracles of saint Irene you are then
driven down the Dionyos mountain to the coastal resort of Attica. Nea Makri
is a renowned beauty spot and also offers you the opportunity to see the
Monastery with the Sacred Tree and the Sacred Remains of Saint Ephrem.
Cyprus
For lots of information on the island of Cyprus, we
suggest you see A window on Cyprus.
Egypt
The Pyramids, the Sphinx, the Nile, the mummies. the Cairo and
the mask of Tut ank Amun are just a few of the delightful treasures of Egypt
that you will see during this incredibly compact yet full cruise. You even get
the option of lunch on the Nile with belly dancing entertainment.
Not to be missed if you have not yet visited the pyramids.
Departures weekly throughout the season this is a 2 day cruise.
Israel
Jerusalem, Bethlehem and the biblical treasures of the holy
land. Another 2 day cruise which ' does it all in a days excursion. Weekly
departures. This is also a 2 day cruise. There are a few 3 day cruises
incorporating both Egypt ad the Holy land, but if you have time why not do the
Egypt cruise and then stay on board and sail to Israel. That makes a 4 day
cruise in all.
Mikonos
A very popular
destination of thousands of tourists every year ( can they all be wrong? )
Mykonos is one of the most picturesque Greek Islands lying in the Aegean,
who's sea is famed for it’s islands dotted with white chapels and numerous
windmills.
Here you can have a night to remember in one of Mikonos’ most popular bars
where the odd Ouzo (or seven) can be enjoyed to the full.
Lesvos and Mitilini
Here it is most apparent how the
other half lived in times gone by. The splendid old aristocratic houses have
outlived their original occupants and still stand proudly in the capital of
Mitilini.
The castle on the north side of
Mytilini overlooks the city and is one of the largest in the eastern
Mediterranean. It's foundations were laid during the time of Justinian on
the ruins of an even older fortification which can still be seen in sections
of the walls.
Patmos
Patmos is most famous as the home
of the Monastery of Saint John the Theologist. Here in his library, you may
still view his handwritten scripts and you will also be shown the cave where
he dedicated his life to God as a hermit, writing the Apocalypse.
(Not the film with Marlon Brando)
The views from the Monastery are
most enjoyable, being able to see as far as neighboring Islands which share
the Aegean Sea with Patmos.
Saint Raphael and Saint Nicolas are said to have
suffered a terrible fate at the hands of the Turks and you are able to visit
their tombs here. If that does not satisfy your lust for the Macabre you can
also visit the Monastery that is the home to the Tomb of Saint Irene (who
didn’t have it any easier) and the Earthen cask in which she was burnt.
Rhodes
The City of Rhodes (Rhodos)
was founded in about 408 BC and the city , which has the same name
as the island is the island's capital. The Old Town of Rhodes has a
medieval feel to it with its Castle and Fortress walls surrounding
the old town from the fourteenth century when the Knights of St.
John occupied Rhodes. There are many gift shops which reflect this
theme.
Rhodes Island has its fair share of good beaches, sunshine as well
as history and culture. Whether you are looking for a lively
European resort with modern facilities or a more quiet traditional
resort Rhodes Island has both.
