Description

Meteora is one of the most imposing sights in mainland Greece. Giant rocks in bizarre shapes, ranging in height from 100 to 150 meters.

You leave the port of Volos to head Northwest crossing the agricultural plain of Thessaly. Passing provincial towns such as Larissa, Trikala and Kalambaka, we reach the extraordinary "monasteries in the air" of the Meteora.

Once a monastic community with 24 monasteries, Meteora now consists of only five active ones. They were first built in the 14th century by monks who searched for a place where they could be isolated and pray undisturbed from the rest of the world. Until 1920 most of the Meteora monasteries could only be reached by getting into a net and hauled up by a rope. Fortunately, steps were cut afterwards to provide access to all the monasteries.

You visit the Varlaam monastery, one of the earliest and most beautiful in the valley, and the majestic Monastery of the Transfiguration (or else the Great Meteora), which is the highest of all. In both monasteries you can admire superb icons, unique mosaics and frescoes, old manuscripts, exceptional domed roofs as well as breathtaking views of the other monasteries and the surrounding area.

After your visit to the monasteries, you proceed to a local restaurant at the area of Kalambaka for lunch.
After lunch and via the same road, passing Trikala and Larrisa, you return to your SeaDream yacht in the port of Volos.

Notes

Please note appropriate dress is required for the visit to these monasteries. Gentlemen should wear long trousers and ladies should wear skirts.

Description

Mount Pelion was the place where the ancient Greek gods and heroes were entertained. The home of the Centaurs according to Greek mythology.

Once you visit its picturesque villages, 24 in total, you can easily understand why this place was chosen by the gods. The villages are spread out along the slopes, among chestnut and apple trees and gurgling crystal waters and most of the villages have remained untouched over the centuries and the architecture of their houses is unique.

From Volos you will be transported on a 30-minute ride to the colorful, fertile village of Portaria with its stone houses built on the mountainside. After Portaria is the picturesque village of Makrinitsa, perhaps the most beautiful village in Pelion and one of the prettiest in Greece. You may stroll around the traditional houses, the old churches and the little shops with local delicacies. Afterwards you can rest and have a cup of coffee in the most impressive central square, under the shade of the plane trees. Apart from the view offered from here, which is majestic, you may also admire the frescoes painted by the famous painter Theophilos in one of the cafes in the square. Filled with unrivalled images you shall return to your SeaDream yacht in the port of Volos.

This Yachting Land Adventure allows you to immediately step off our tender onto the island of Delos - also known as the “Island of Light.” At the Delos tender pier, you will meet your guide for a walk of almost three hours across the island. Delos is the mythical birthplace of Apollo, the god of light, music, and the sun. Its name means "that which appears" and, according to mythology, the island appeared amid the waves so that Leto would have a place to give birth to Apollo and his twin sister - Artemis. Delos Island, an area of only five sq. km (almost 2 sq. miles), was once a very important religious, cultural and commercial center. Today, the island is a UNESCO world heritage site and covered with ruins including fallen columns, sections of the famous mosaics which adorned the houses of the rich, a stadium, tiers of seats from a theatre. Among these ruins, five marble lions in a row still stand. These were the guardians of the sacred lake, still gazing out to the east waiting for the sun to rise.

Other interesting monuments, spread over a wide area, are the Agora, the treasuries of the various cities, the Sanctuary of Apollo, the Theatre, the Sanctuary of the Foreign Gods and the Sacred Mount Cynthus.

Notes

Your walk will be across uneven surfaces at the archaeological sites, so please wear comfortable walking shoes. There is very limited shade at the site so also bring protection from the sun. There is a coffee kiosk on the island as well as restrooms near the pier on Delos. A minimum participation is required to operate all Yachting Land Adventures and some have limited capacity.

This tour, covering the south side of the island, not only gives you the opportunity of discovering hidden places but also an opportunity to photograph the most amazing land and seascapes along with developing your creative eye, composing images from geometric form and abstract pattern.

The tour commences from the Port of Skala by minibus to the old village of Chora, the island’s capital, and a photographer’s paradise! The first experience is a wonderful panoramic view over the island. With a turn or your head, you get a glimpse of the 11th century monastery built like a fort, standing with proud dominance.

Description

Explore the UNESCO-listed Monastery of St. John the Theologian, the divine Grotto, and experience a glimpse of a traditional Patmian home.

Patmos is often called the Jerusalem of the Aegean, the sacred island where St. John wrote the Book of Revelations in the Bible. Depart from the pier today for a short scenic ride to Chora and the UNESCO-listed Monastery of St. John the Theologian, built high on an ancient acropolis. The monastery's massive 15th-century walls and 17th-century battlements loom over the town belying an intimate and peaceful interior of arches, inlaid pebble stone floors, and whitewashed buildings. The charming chapel of Christodoulos is profusely decorated with frescoes and the old treasury, now a museum, displays a breathtaking collection of jeweled chalices, crowns, crucifixes, vestments and ancient manuscripts.

Travel on to the Grotto of St. John where the saint heard the voice of God and wrote his revelations. It was here, the most sacred spot on the island, where St. John the Theologian spent 16 months in exile, and this simple cave is now a chapel and place of pilgrimage. Both the Cave and the Monastery have been UNESCO listed in 1999. The iconostases built into the cave depict St. John's visions and the spots where the saint slept, wrote, and heard "a great voice, as of a trumpet."

Back in Chora you will visit one of the traditional Patmian houses, the house of the Simantiris family. The magnificence of Patmian home interiors is stunning. Entering the thick wooden entrance door is like stepping into another dimension, with Venetian style furniture, handicrafts and multi-colored mosaic ceilings dating from the 18th century. After your visit, drive through the town of Chora on the way back to SeaDream in Patmos.

Notes

This tour involves moderate walking, including some uphill sections and steps in Chora, at the Monastery, and at the Grotto, with generally uneven stone-paved surfaces typical of traditional Greek settlements that may be slippery. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Appropriate dress is required for visits to the Monastery and Grotto; women must wear skirts covering the knees and blouses covering the shoulders, and men must wear long trousers and shirts covering the shoulders. The dress code is strictly enforced, and guests not properly dressed may be denied entry. The Monastery of St. John and the Grotto are active religious sites, and visitor access may be influenced by religious services or local observances.
