Your ship will next call at the magical, cosmopolitan island of Mykonos, with enough time there to see why this island is such a hot tourist destination; then up to Patmos and across to Kusadasi. Here you can shop or visit legendary Ephesus. Next port-of-call will be Rhodes and its medieval town, followed by Crete and the chance to visit the fabulous Palace of Knossos.
