Start of Greece Tour in Athens / Piraeus (Cruise Embarkation) / Mykonos, Greek Isle

After breakfast, we embark on the MS Celestyal Olympia cruise ship for a wonderful 3-night cruise to the Greek Islands and Kusaclasi. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served daily while on board, and an all-inclusive drinks package (unlimited alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks). Mykonos, the whitewashed jewel of the Cyclades Islands, is your first stop. This charming, "mountainous" island is known for the hundreds of tiny chapels, white-washed buildings, and beautiful windmills that dot its landscape. Don't miss taking a stroll down Mykonos Town, where mazes of narrow streets link the whitewashed buildings and traditional life continues amidst the bustling activity. Enjoy free time to explore this little paradise in the middle of the Aegean Sea.

Note: In Mykonos, a free shuttle will be provided by the Cruise line. Then we walk to Mykonos town which is 5 min. walk from where the bus will drop us off. Close to the windmills is a nice Catholic Church dedicated to the Virgin Mary. (B/L/D, Daily Mass).
