Description
Sail the Aegean See and set off to discover Greece and its famous islands: the Cyclades and the Dodecanese Islands. From Istanbul, Le Bougainville will take you to exceptional sites during an 8-day Mediterranean cruise.
You will discover the volcanic island of Lemnos, near the Dardanelles Strait. Protected during Antiquity by Hephaestus, the god of fire, this green and lush island has now become one of Greece’s major seaside resorts.
You will set sail for the island of Paros. Situated in the Cyclades archipelago, Paros is renowned for its white marble. For those interested, this port of call will provide an opportunity to stroll along the narrow streets and charming little squares of the village of Naousa.
You will then head for Symi. Covered with vines, olive trees and cypress trees, this island is one of the most beautiful in the Dodecanese archipelago.
Patmos will be the last port of call for this voyage. Known as the “Jerusalem of the Aegean Sea”, this island, where Saint John is said to have written the Apocalypse, offers unique landscapes combining white sandy beaches and rocky coves.
