2 One of the most alluring destinations for travelers is a cruise through the Greek islands that dot the cobalt-blue Aegean Sea. Perennial favorite classics professor Marsh McCall is our guide as we explore this fabled archipelago. After viewing Athen s landmarks, we sail to the beautifully preserved Peloponnesian medieval town of Monemvasia. At Knossos on Crete, the vast palace of the Minoans recalls tales of the Minotaur, and Santorini s dramatic setting captures in time a cataclysmic volcanic eruption that left a deep-blue caldera framed by two cone-shaped islets. On the tiny island of Patmos, explore the massive Monastery of St. John the Theologian and its priceless treasures. Throughout our journey on the intimate Callisto, ancient echoes of both legend and history await! Brett S. Thompson, 83, Director, Stanford Travel/Study lindos, island of rhodes Highlights cruise among the Greek WALK the cobblestone climb to the majestic VIEW beautiful frescoes Isles on the small, intimate streets of the 6th-century acropolis and Temple of and mosaics from glass and luxurious Callisto, with fortress at Monemvasia, Athena at Lindos, on the walkways above the terrace only 17 cabins. situated at the base of a island of Rhodes. houses at Ephesus. steep, rocky islet. front cover: acropolis, athens, greece greek orthodox church on santorini

Upon arrival, transfer to our hotel. Enjoy a welcome cocktail reception this evening. HOTEL GRANDE BRETAGNE Monday, May 14 Athens / Piraeus / Embark The birthplace of Western culture, Athens boasts a plethora of historic monuments. This morning, tour the Acropolis, including the Erechtheion and the majestic Parthenon. Enjoy free time in the Plaka district before a lunch at leisure. In the afternoon, visit the National Archaeological Museum before continuing to Piraeus to embark our ship. Callisto (B,D) Tuesday, May 15 Monemvasia, Peloponnese Spend the morning cruising leisurely along the rugged Aegean coast of the Peloponnese. Early in the afternoon, dock in Monemvasia, one of the jewels of Greece. Built on the seaward side of a rocky promontory, Monemvasia is surrounded by walls, within of which is the beautifully preserved medieval town. Set out on foot to explore both the Lower and Upper towns, with their beautiful bastions, labyrinthine alleyways, stately old homes and chapels. Callisto (B,L,D) Wednesday, May 16 CHANIA / RETHYMNON Land on Crete, the island that was home of the Minoans, Europe s first civilization. This morning, opt to visit Chania, perhaps Crete s loveliest city, with its historic town walls and picturesque Venetian harbor. Alternatively, explore Knossos, the most imposing Minoan palace of the island, or explore Crete s magnificent southern country. In the afternoon, tour the town of Rethymnon with its unmistakable Venetian character. Callisto (B,L,D) Thursday, May 17 SANTORINI From the sea, enjoy a beautiful view of the village of Phira on Santorini. In the 2nd millennium B.C.E., volcanic eruptions shrouded the island in a blanket of pumice and ash, preserving many buildings in the town of Akrotiri. At the time of the eruptions, Akrotiri was inhabited by a sophisticated Bronze Age society. Visit the Nomikos Exhibition, where excellent reproductions of the frescoes preserved at Akrotiri are on display, and the Prehistoric Museum of Thira. Then visit the unspoiled town of Oia and enjoy time at leisure. Callisto (B,L,D)
4 fountain of trajan, ephesus Friday, May 18 LINDOS / RHODES The historic island of Rhodes was known in antiquity for its schools of philosophy, rhetoric and sculpture. Explore Old Town, one of the largest medieval towns remaining in Europe. Walk along the Street of the Knights, overflowing with mosaics, finely carved portals, balconies and coats of arms. Then visit the Archaeological Museum, housed in the former Knights Great Hospital. Also travel to picturesque Lindos. Set high above the village, with spectacular views of the Aegean, are the remains of an acropolis and the Doric columns of Athena s Temple. Callisto (B,L,D) Saturday, May 19 PATMOS The rugged volcanic island of Patmos is to the Christian world what Delos was to the ancients: the most sacred island in the Aegean. This is where St. John the Evangelist is said to have been banished during the reign of the Roman emperor, Domitian. View the 11th-century Monastery of St. John the Theologian with its enormous towers, domed roofs, belfries and battlements. Inside, admire the artistry of the monastery s icons, manuscripts and fine embroideries. Callisto (B,L,D) Sunday, May 20 KUSADASi, Turkey / EPHESUS / PRIENE Drive to the ancient city of Ephesus, renowned for its great mother goddess, Cybele, later identified as Artemis, or Diana of the Ephesians. For a time, Ephesus was the most important commercial city in Asia Minor. The immense Hellenistic and Roman excavation site includes an ancient theater, the imposing Library of Celsus, terrace houses with their fantastic mosaics and frescoes, and early Byzantine remains. Spend the afternoon at leisure in Kusadasi or alternatively, tour Priene, a 4th-century-B.C.E. city located in a spectacular setting. Callisto (B,L,D) Monday, May 21 DELOS, greece / SYROS Today our ship calls at the pristine island of Delos, which legend identifies as the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. Our walking tour leads us to the excavation of the main shrines of Apollo and Artemis, as well as the Terrace of the Lions, guardians of the Sacred Lake. For centuries, Delos was considered so sacred that giving birth and dying were prohibited on the island. Later, it became the base of a confederacy of Aegean and Ionian states known as the Delian League. In the afternoon Callisto calls at the picturesque island of Syros, whose main town is built between two hills and where graceful neo-classical buildings line the waterfront. Callisto (B,L,D) Tuesday, May 22 PIRAEUS / DISEMBARK / ATHENS / U.S. Disembark in Piraeus and transfer to the airport in Athens for return flights to the U.S. (B)
5 Callisto The Callisto combines the comfort of larger vessels with the intimacy of a small sailing yacht. All 17 air-conditioned cabins are exterior with large windows or portholes that look out to sea and feature generous storage space, telephone, TV/VCR/DVD, refrigerator and marble bathroom with shower. The yacht s public areas include a spacious lounge, a dining room that accommodates all guests at a single seating, two broad decks for sunbathing and dining alfresco, and a library. Callisto is served by a crew of 18 and is equipped with the latest navigational instruments, including satellite communication systems.

Our prices are based upon the prevailing fuel rates at the time of brochure printing. While we will do everything possible to maintain our prices, if the fuel rates increase significantly, it may be necessary to institute a fuel surcharge. WHAT TO EXPECT We consider this program to be mildly active. Most of our touring is done by motorcoach and boat. Daily excursions involve one to three miles of walking on city streets, which are, in some cases, uneven or cobblestone. Much of the walking takes place at ancient sites, where paths can be rocky and uneven. In some instances, such as museums, guided tours require climbing up and down several flights of stairs. Stairs may not have handrails, and elevators are limited or unavailable. Travelers will have opportunities to take in the beautiful Mediterranean scenery from the comfort of our ship. Participants must be physically fit, active and in good health. We welcome travelers 15 years of age and older on this program.

For a moment in time we were back in ancient Greece. Richard Sobelle 56, Aegean College, 2009 Marsh McCall, who has led more than 35 Travel/Study trips, has enchanted thousands of travelers with his enthusiasm for the ancient world. A frequent traveler to this region, he is eternally ready to set sail on the sapphire waters of the Mediterranean to explore new sites and study recent historical discoveries. Says Professor McCall, The ancient world has been my life for more than 50 years, and I m always eager to talk about its endless fascination.
