Auf dieser außergewöhnlichen Reise mit PONANT genießen Sie eine wunderbare Auszeit bei der Entdeckung der kulturellen und natürlichen Schätze der Kykladen und des Dodekanes. In Athen beginnt die 8-tägige Kreuzfahrt an Bord der Le Jacques-Cartier zu den schönsten griechischen Inseln der Ägäis. Lassen Sie sich von den Reichtümern der Geschichte und erfrischenden Momenten im türkisblauen Wasser des Archipels verzaubern.
Entdecken Sie Patmos, die unter dem Namen „Jerusalem der Ägäis“ bekannt ist. Diese Insel, wo Johannis die Apokalypse niederschrieb, birgt einzigartige Landschaften mit weißen Sandstränden und felsigen Buchten.
Nach einem Stopp auf der kleinen Insel Symi, die mit ihrem diskreten Charme und neoklassizistischen Häusern im italienischen Stil betört, steuern Sie die Kykladen an. Amorgos, die Insel des unendlichen Blaus, ist ein ungeschliffener Edelstein. Bewundern Sie die Vulkan- und Gebirgslandschaften, die sich in das kristallklare Wasser stürzen.
Die Le Jacques-Cartier fährt weiter zum Archipel von Santorini. Die unvergessliche Fahrt führt am Fuße der Caldera entlang, die sich um 1600 Jahre vor Christus bei einem Vulkanausbruch bildete. Hoch oben auf den steil ins Meer abfallenden Felsen liegen wunderschöne weiße Ortschaften wie beispielsweise Thera und Oia.
Dann fahren Sie weiter zu der authentischen, malerischen Insel Folegandros, bevor es weiter geht nach Delos, einer winzigen Kykladen-Insel. Hier wurde der Mythologie zufolge Apollon geboren. Wie ein wahres Freilichtmuseum bietet Delos ein einzigartiges Zeugnis vergangener Zivilisationen, die in der Ägäis aufeinander folgten.
Die nächste Etappe ist Mykonos mit seinen Stränden, Mühlen und Alefkandra, seinem typischen Viertel mit direkt am Wasser gebauten Häusern. Nach einem letzten Zwischenstopp auf der Insel Hydra, die für ihr unvergleichliches Licht berühmt ist, läuft die Le Jacques-Cartier die griechische Hauptsadt an.
Die Kreuzfahrt endet in Athen, der mythischen, von der Akropolis und ihren monumentalen Bauwerken überragten Stadt, die eine wohl einzigartige künstlerische und architektonische Einheit bilden, Erbe des antiken Griechenlands.

Es ist kein Zufall, dass Luc Besson die Insel Amorgos als Drehort für seinen Film Im Rausch der Tiefe wählte. Auch Sie werden sich dem Zauber der Insel nicht entziehen können… Diese Insel, die östlichste der Kykladen, ist bemerkenswert wegen ihrer Felsbuchten mit transparentem Wasser und ihrer kleinen, gut erhaltenen Dörfer. Sie besuchen Chora, eins der schönsten Dörfer der Kykladen mit gepflasterten Gassen und weiß getünchten Häusern, die ein Schloss überblickt. Byzantinische Kirchen, Windmühlen und bunt bepflanzte Höfe runden das typische Bild des ewigen Griechenlands ab.

Chr. von den Fluten überschwemmt wurde, bilden eine gigantische Kulisse für diesen Höhepunkt der Kreuzfahrt. Vulkangestein in allen Farbschattierungen von weiß über grau bis rot, das Blau der Ägäis, das makellose Weiß der Dörfer oben am Kraterrand bilden ein einzigartiges, wunderschönes Schauspiel.

Photo safari in Patmos
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.
From the pier, board your minibus to the old village of Chora, the island’s capital and a photographer’s paradise! Your first experience is a panoramic view right over the island and over the 11th century monastery built like a fort, standing with proud dominance. You will be guided through Chora’s labyrinth of winding cobbled streets and maze of arched alleyways. The settlement of white-washed houses dating from 16th century, reflects the light casting shadows and creating geometric patterns. The alleys, arches and doorways display a harmonious balance revealing subtle architectural details which, through your lens, can become exciting atmospheric images trapped in time.
You will continue with a short drive to the top of Profit Illias Mountain, the highest point of the island - 880 feet (269 m) above sea level.
Continue to Diakofti stopping off to photograph the view of the mystical rock of Petra and then go to a boatyard. Here you will have the opportunity to photograph the local islanders at work and the streamline shapes of vessels in dry dock.
After a local refreshment, and your camera full of great images, you will return to Skala port.
- This tour involves approximately 1.2 miles (2 km) of walking over uneven surfaces, narrow and cobblestone streets. We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun. You will use your own camera on this tour. A supplement of €25 per person will be applied if there are less than 10 participants. This tour is conducted by an English-speaking guide. No translation will be provided. This tour is limited to 18 participants. The observation of the workers and vessels in dry dock is not guaranteed. The guide is not a photograph and do not give any information regarding the use of the camera.
Gesamtpreis inkl. Steuern- und Gebühren : 70 €

Saint John Monastery & Apocalypse Cave
From the pier, board your coach for a drive to the Saint John Monastery. Overlooking Skala port and the island’s southern region, this medieval monastery looks more like a fortress than a house of prayer. It was built to repel attacks by pirates.
In the year 95 AD, Saint John the Evangelist was banished from Ephesus and exiled to Patmos, which in the days of the Roman Empire was where those who were exiled were sent.
In 1088, the Byzantine Emperor Alexios Komnenos authorised Saint Christodoulos, an abbot from Asia Minor, to erect a monastery in memory of Saint John. The whole island was yielded to the monastery. The adjoining Theotokos Chapel has frescoes dating back to the 12th century. Other Byzantine treasures are found in the monastery. Today this holy place is a veritable museum of Byzantine art thanks to the countless frescoes, icons, holy objects and manuscripts contained within its walls.
After visiting the monastery, a short drive away, will take you to the Apocalypse Cave where the final chapter of the New Testament was revealed to John the Apostle. The Book of Revelation prophecy came to him through a symbolic vision and was written in Greek. This cave was the house of the evangelist and now is surrounded by a monastery and school of theology. You can see the resting place outlined in beaten silver where St John laid his head every night. To the right the rock is shaped like a pulpit and is where the disciple, Prochoros, wrote the revelation as dictated by John.
Finally, you will re-board your coach for the drive back to the pier.
- This excursion is not suitable for people who have difficulty walking. The coach will drop you near the old town, and access to the monastery is on foot via cobblestone streets. Altogether you will have to go up and down about 100 steps. Appropriate clothing is required to enter religious sites: shoulders and knees must be covered. It is not permitted to take photos inside the chapel or the cave.
Gesamtpreis inkl. Steuern- und Gebühren : 60 €
Je nach Verfügbarkeit Preis pro Person.
The unspoiled beauty of Amorgos
Amorgos is an unspoiled island and the Eastern-most of the Cycladic Islands, chosen by filmmaker Luc Besson for the scene of "The Big Blue".
From the pier, you will board your coach and start your visit by the island’s trademark, the Byzantine Monastery of Hozoviotissa. Dedicated to Saint of the island, which is wedged into a huge precipice at 900 ft from the sea, the Monastery was founded by the Byzantine Emperor Alexius Komninus in 1088 and contains rare icons and manuscripts.
Continuing your tour, you will reach Chora with its castle, one of the most picturesque villages in Cyclades. Along the streets lined with whitewashed houses, Byzantine or pre-Christian churches alternate with windmills. After tasting local homemade sweets served with ouzo and raki, you may stroll around the paved little streets and discover the typical architecture of Cyclades or you may relax under the shade of the huge eucalyptus tree located in the middle of "Plateia Lozza" main square.
You will then return to Katapola port to embark your ship.
- Coaches are very limited on the island and are not recent models. This tour involves approximately 2 hours of walking. In order to visit the inside of the monastery, guests will have to negotiate the 269 steps up and back down. Guests who do not wish to walk up the monastery can enjoy a panoramic view from the parking lot where there are benches but no shade. We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes. Appropriate dress is required, men have to wear long pants and ladies need to have their knees and shoulders covered.

The archaeological site of Delos
Your tour will start directly from the pier where you will have disembarked by ship's tender. Follow your guide and go discover one of the best preserved archaeological sites in Greece.
Both the oldest and the largest open-air site in Europe, this antique site has many houses, temples and sacred shrines. Emerging from a burned grass carpet, the ruins are spread out below Mount Kynthos. At the top of this small hill and only relief of the island, the Sanctuary of Zeus and Athena Cynthiens dating from the 3rd century BC. Overlooking the area, as on the hillside, you can see a range of cultural institutions dedicated to oriental divinities. Frozen by 2,000 years of abandonment, the city ruins draw an impressive maze of white stone in which one can get lost like the pilgrims and the merchants of yesteryear, when Delos was beaming on the Aegean.
You will reach the sanctuary of Apollo, known as the “Temple of the Athenians”, where you will admire the temples dedicated to this god, their altars, their votive offerings and other buildings.
Then, you will discover the Terrace of the Lions, with its famous marble lions that dominated and protected the town. You will continue until the Theatre District, the most luxurious district of the ancient city with the mansions known as the home “of Dionysus”, “of Cleopatra” and “of Dioscuri”. You will see the different mosaics that adorned the floors of Hellenistic houses, and the streets, the houses, the workshops and the shops that made Delos a bustling city.
- This excursion is entirely on foot. We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun. The museum is closed for revonation.

History of Hydra
The charm of Hydra town certainly lies in her rich history, port and waterfront unspoiled by motorised vehicles. This island offers a rugged charm and many scenes to discover.
From the pier, follow your guide on a walking exploration through the island's historical landmarks. Your first stop will be the Hydra Museum - Historical Archives where you may admire 19th century paintings of considerable artistic value as well as rich documental and photographic material detailing the long maritime tradition and history of the island.
Continuing your walk around the port, you will visit the Church of the Dormitian, which houses icons, chandeliers and other offerings from the wealthy seafarers of the island. It is even said one of the chandeliers was stolen from Louis XIV and given to the church.
Enjoy a coffee or a refreshment together with Hydra's local sweet " amygdaloto" at a promenade local coffee shop.
Next, take the road uphill to reach Koundouriotis Mansion, one of the finest examples of the traditional 18th and 19th century architecture of Hydra. Built in 1780 by the ship owner Lazaros Koundouriotis, it now houses various items from the National Historical Museum of Athens, such as traditional costumes, jewellery, fine embroideries, pottery and wood-carvings.
Enjoy a leisurely walk through Hydra's little alleys and stone houses before your return to the port.
- This tour is entirely on foot, walking over uneven ground, cobble stone streets and steps (70-80 steps). We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun. Appropriate clothing is required to enter religious sites: shoulders and knees must be covered. The refreshment is included on your tour.

Photo safari in Patmos
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.
From the pier, board your minibus to the old village of Chora, the island’s capital and a photographer’s paradise! Your first experience is a panoramic view right over the island and over the 11th century monastery built like a fort, standing with proud dominance. You will be guided through Chora’s labyrinth of winding cobbled streets and maze of arched alleyways. The settlement of white-washed houses dating from 16th century, reflects the light casting shadows and creating geometric patterns. The alleys, arches and doorways display a harmonious balance revealing subtle architectural details which, through your lens, can become exciting atmospheric images trapped in time.
You will continue with a short drive to the top of Profit Illias Mountain, the highest point of the island - 880 feet (269 m) above sea level.
Continue to Diakofti stopping off to photograph the view of the mystical rock of Petra and then go to a boatyard. Here you will have the opportunity to photograph the local islanders at work and the streamline shapes of vessels in dry dock.
After a local refreshment, and your camera full of great images, you will return to Skala port.
- This tour involves approximately 1.2 miles (2 km) of walking over uneven surfaces, narrow and cobblestone streets. We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun.

Saint John Monastery & Apocalypse Cave
From the pier, board your coach for a drive to the Saint John Monastery. Overlooking Skala port and the island’s southern region, this medieval monastery looks more like a fortress than a house of prayer. It was built to repel attacks by pirates.
In the year 95 AD, Saint John the Evangelist was banished from Ephesus and exiled to Patmos, which in the days of the Roman Empire was where those who were exiled were sent.
In 1088, the Byzantine Emperor Alexios Komnenos authorised Saint Christodoulos, an abbot from Asia Minor, to erect a monastery in memory of Saint John. The whole island was yielded to the monastery. The adjoining Theotokos Chapel has frescoes dating back to the 12th century. Other Byzantine treasures are found in the monastery. Today this holy place is a veritable museum of Byzantine art thanks to the countless frescoes, icons, holy objects and manuscripts contained within its walls.
After visiting the monastery, a short drive away, will take you to the Apocalypse Cave where the final chapter of the New Testament was revealed to John the Apostle. The Book of Revelation prophecy came to him through a symbolic vision and was written in Greek. This cave was the house of the evangelist and now is surrounded by a monastery and school of theology. You can see the resting place outlined in beaten silver where St John laid his head every night. To the right the rock is shaped like a pulpit and is where the disciple, Prochoros, wrote the revelation as dictated by John.
Finally, you will re-board your coach for the drive back to the pier.
- This excursion is not suitable for people who have difficulty walking. The coach will drop you near the old town, and access to the monastery is on foot via cobblestone streets. Altogether you will have to go up and down about 100 steps. Appropriate clothing is required to enter religious sites: shoulders and knees must be covered. It is not permitted to take photos inside the chapel or the cave.

The unspoiled beauty of Amorgos
Amorgos is an unspoiled island and the Eastern-most of the Cycladic Islands, chosen by filmmaker Luc Besson for the scene of "The Big Blue".
From the pier, you will board your coach and start your visit by the island’s trademark, the Byzantine Monastery of Hozoviotissa. Dedicated to Saint of the island, which is wedged into a huge precipice at 900 ft from the sea, the Monastery was founded by the Byzantine Emperor Alexius Komninus in 1088 and contains rare icons and manuscripts.
Continuing your tour, you will reach Chora with its castle, one of the most picturesque villages in Cyclades. Along the streets lined with whitewashed houses, Byzantine or pre-Christian churches alternate with windmills. After tasting local homemade sweets served with ouzo and raki, you may stroll around the paved little streets and discover the typical architecture of Cyclades or you may relax under the shade of the huge eucalyptus tree located in the middle of "Plateia Lozza" main square.
You will then return to Katapola port to embark your ship.
- Coaches are very limited on the island and are not recent models. This tour involves approximately 2 hours of walking. In order to visit the inside of the monastery, guests will have to negotiate the 269 steps up and back down. Guests who do not wish to walk up the monastery can enjoy a panoramic view from the parking lot where there are benches but no shade. We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes.

You will reach the sanctuary of Apollo, known as the “Temple of the Athenians”, where you will admire the temples dedicated to this god, their altars, their votive offerings and other buildings.
Then, you will discover the Terrace of the Lions, with its famous marble lions that dominated and protected the town. You will continue until the Theatre District, the most luxurious district of the ancient city with the mansions known as the home “of Dionysus”, “of Cleopatra” and “of Dioscuri”. You will see the different mosaics that adorned the floors of Hellenistic houses, and the streets, the houses, the workshops and the shops that made Delos a bustling city.
