Greece, Turkey & Mykonos Overnight ’26

Your journey begins with a flight from Dublin to Athens. After landing, you will be transferred to your hotel for a one-night stay, giving you time to settle in and enjoy the atmosphere of Europe’s oldest capital. On the second day, you will head to the port of Piraeus. This bustling gateway is the starting point for your adventure as you board the Scarlet Lady. Once onboard, you can familiarise yourself with the ship’s facilities and prepare for a week of exploration across the Mediterranean.

Take this full day at sea to enjoy everything the Scarlet Lady has to offer. As an adult-only ship, the atmosphere is relaxed and unhurried. You can make use of the various entertainment options, find a comfortable spot on deck to enjoy the sun, or sample the diverse range of cuisine available in the included eateries. It is the perfect opportunity to unwind and recharge before arriving at your first international port.

Arrive in the picturesque Turkish town of Bodrum. Known for its twin harbours and whitewashed houses draped in bougainvillea, Bodrum offers a blend of stylish waterfront living and traditional charm. You can spend your time visiting the smart restaurants along the promenade, exploring the local wood-decked beach clubs, or simply taking in the views of the olive-green hillsides that meet the turquoise Aegean Sea.

Today you reach the island of Rhodes, located in the eastern Mediterranean. You will have the chance to explore Rhodes Town, which features one of the best-preserved medieval walled cities in Europe. Built by the Knights Hospitaller in the 14th century, the Old Town is a fascinating place to wander through. You can also learn about the history of the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the lost Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, which once guarded the harbour entrance.

Spend an extended period in Mykonos with a special overnight stay. This allows you to experience the island’s famous energy and nightlife as well as its quieter, more traditional side. During the day, you can explore the cafe-lined waterfronts, see the iconic windmills, or visit the nearby island of Delos, the mythical birthplace of Apollo. Having a full night in port means you don't have to rush back to the ship, giving you a true taste of the Greece Turkey Mykonos lifestyle.

The ship arrives at the stunning island of Santorini, famous for its dramatic volcanic caldera and whitewashed buildings that cling to the steep cliffs. You can take a tender to shore and explore the towns of Fira or Oia, both of which offer world-renowned views over the turquoise sea. The island's history is equally compelling, with links to the Bronze Age and the myth of the lost city of Atlantis.

After returning to Piraeus, you will enjoy a final breakfast onboard before disembarking. From the port, you will be transferred back to Athens airport for your return flight to Dublin, bringing your Mediterranean cruise to a close.
