History comes alive for the whole family on this Mediterranean voyage. Explore Athens before setting sail for fabled Troy and Ephesus. Continue to the fortified town of Rhodes; Santorini, with its legacy of volcanic eruptions; and Crete's Minoan Palace of Knossos. Also visit Diros's mysterious caves and Olympia, where some of the Panhellenic Games were held.
