The MS Galileo

In November 2018 Academy Travel’s London Manager, Grace McLean, travelled on the M/S Galileo around the Peloponnese. We asked Grace about her experience.

How is M/S Galileo different from large cruise ships? The M/S Galileo can enter the smallest of ports, which means mooring right in centre of towns on the itinerary. Due to its size, the Galileo can also access more unusual experiences such as the medieval town of and pass through the Corinth Canal – impossible in larger vessels. With a small ship such as the Galileo there is no waiting to get on or off, so you have more time to enjoy your onshore visits. And with a maximum of 50 passengers on board, you’ll also get to know your crew and fellow passengers.

What are the cabins like? Is it a luxury cruise? The cabins are small, so passengers are encouraged to minimise their luggage. You won’t find luxury amenities but everything is neat and clean. Each cabin has air-conditioning, a fridge and a compact ensuite bathroom with shower and is serviced twice daily. Most passengers spend their time on deck enjoying the sun and sailing (bring a book!), or onshore exploring the local town.

How is the weather in November? Although I can’t guarantee it for 2019, the weather was absolutely perfect! Clear and sunny with an average of 20 degrees each day, the water was warm enough for swimming. The evenings were cool and you will need some warm clothes. High winds were predicted for our voyage but the Captain timed our sailing and planned the route to minimise rocking and rolling onboard.

Was the itinerary good for someone interested in history and archaeology? Or was it just scenic sightseeing? This is an ideal itinerary if you are interested in history and archaeology and you will see some of the most important sites in Greece, particularly from the Bronze Age. Those with an interest in the Byzantine period will enjoy discovering the many forts and churches at each port. You will also experience spectacular scenery of mountains, olive groves and the clear blue waters of the Aegean. Detailed itinerary

Meet your tour leader and fellow travellers in the lobby of the hotel for an Above: The Koules Fortress, the symbol of Heraklion introductions and drinks followed by dinner in the hotel. Overnight Athens (D) Below: Artefacts housed in the Heraklion Archaological Museum span over 5,500 years of Cretan history; the Palace of Knossos formed the Monday 4 November ceremonial and political centre of Minoan civilisation To Heraklion This morning we transfer to Athens Airport where we board a flight to Heraklion. We arrive in Crete and transfer to our hotel before John conducts an orientation tour of the Venetian city on foot. This evening, there is an introductory talk in the hotel followed by dinner in a local restaurant. Overnight Heraklion (B, D)

Tuesday 5 November and Heraklion Archaeological Museum A brief stroll from the hotel takes us to the excellent Archaeological Museum in Heraklion, which re-opened in 2014 following a lengthy renovation. The artefacts are displayed both chronologically and thematically and its collection includes Minoan artefacts and wall paintings from Knossos and the other Minoan palaces as well as the mysterious Phaistos Disk. This afternoon we travel to the site of Bronze Age Phaistos, a Minoan royal palace complex on a dramatic hilltop site overlooking the Messara Plain. Overnight Heraklion. (B, L)

Wednesday 6 November Archanes and Knossos Just outside of Heraklion is the rustic village of Archanes, a treasure house of heritage-listed neoclassical architecture. Archanes was an important Minoan hub and a likely summer retreat for the Knossos Kings. We visit the delightful Archaeological Museum which houses many significant finds from the region. This afternoon we visit Crete’s most famous site, the Minoan palace complex of Knossos. The area shows occupation from Neolithic times but the first palace was established c. 1900 BC. This was destroyed by an earthquake 200 years later and completely rebuilt. The site is, in fact, a complex of administrative, residential, and religious structures that offers an excellent idea of what life in Minoan Crete may have been like. Overnight Heraklion. (B)

Thursda y 7 November Rethymno and Souda Bay This morning we depart for Rethymno and undertake a walking tour of the town which flourished under Venetian rule in the 16th century and where the old quarter retains a rich elegance. Our tour includes the massive Venetian Fort, the Nerantzis Mosque (built originally as a church by the Venetians and now the city’s concert hall), the Great Gate of the town, and the Venetian mansions along Arkadiou Street. We continue to Souda Bay to visit the Allied War Cemetery, where soldiers from the Commonwealth, including many Australians and New Zealanders who lost their lives in the Battle of Crete and the First World War, are buried. Our day concludes in Chania, a strategic location that first attracted the Minoans who founded the city state of Kydonia here in the Bronze Age. Since then it has been fought over by Romans, Byzantines, Venetians, Genoese, Turks, Egyptians, and finally the German Army in 1941. We explore the layers of history the invaders have left behind including the fortified Venetian harbour and the Mosque of the Janissaries. Overnight Chania. (B)

Saturday 9 November Epidaurus Today we have an early start as we depart the ship forth the impressive site of Epidaurus, the location of the Asclepeion, one of the most famous healing centres of the Classical world. The sanctuary was raided by the Romans and Goths and little remains of it today. Testament to the prosperity brought by the sanctuary is Epidaurus’ well-preserved 4th century BC theatre with a capacity for 13000 spectators. Still in use today, the theatre is regarded as the best in Greece for its fine structure, symmetry and perfect acoustics. We return to the ship for lunch and set sail for Nafplion. Overnight aboard MS Galileo (B, L, D)

Sunday 10 November Mycenae After a short walk through Napflion we visit Mycenae, the seat of Agamemnon who served as leader of the Greek coalition at Troy and a site that gave its name to a whole civilization. We enter through the famous Lion Gate and see the Shaft Graves of Circle A and climb through the site to the crowning Megaron Palace where the Mycenaean king would have held sway over much territory. Blending back into the rocky hills, the ruins of this ancient powerhouse are in a spectacular location atop the citadel and ringed by well-preserved Cyclopean walls. After lunch back on board we sail to Gythion. Overnight aboard MS Galileo (B, L, D)

Monday 11 November Mani Peninsula This morning we visit Ancient Gythion which was used by the Spartans as a port and naval base, after they enlarged the natural harbour. Crossing the Mani Peninsula to Cape Tenaro at the tip of the Peloponnese, we reach Diros and visit the spectacular caves, among the most important natural sites in Greece. We descend into the caves and explore the dramatic stalactite and stalagmite formations by boat. After a stroll through the nearby town of Areopolis we reboard our vessel and head to Pylos.

Overnight aboard MS Galileo (B, L, D)

Wednesday 13 November Olympia Disembarking the ship early this morning we depart Katakolon for the ancient site of Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games and where the Olympic flame is still lit every four years. Home to the Temple of Zeus, one of the Wonders of the Ancient World, the Pan-Hellenic sanctuary at Olympia not only lies in a beautiful and peaceful setting but its largely non-reconstructed remains allow a unique opportunity to visualise how this complex would have looked during its heyday. Also within the sanctuary is the ancient Temple of Hera, while just outside the precinct are the gymnasium and well-preserved stadium. The archaeological museum is a treasure trove of artefacts excavated from the sacred precinct including superb architectural sculptures from the Temple of Zeus itself. We reboard the ship at Patras and depart for Itea in the Gulf of Corinth. Overnight aboard MS Galileo (B, L, D)

Thursday 14 November Delphi Today we travel to Delphi, chosen by the Greeks as the navel of the Earth and located on the spectacular cliff face of Mount Parnassus. We visit the impressive and mystical archaeological site, home to the most important oracle of the ancient world whose influence on rulers and the ruled alike was profound.

Political decisions were made and colonies around the Mediterranean were founded only after consultation with the Oracle. We examine the site, exploring the Temple of Apollo, treasuries, theatre and stadium. The adjoining Archaeological Museum houses a collection of treasures including the marble Sphinx of Naxos and the marvellous Charioteer, one of the finest extant bronze statues from the classical world. Returning to the ship, we traverse the Corinth Canal and sail to Marina Zea outside of Athens. Overnight aboard MS Galileo (B, L, D)

Friday 15 November Disembark – Dafni This morning after breakfast, we say farewell to the Variety Voyager. On our way to Athens we stop at the eleventh-century Byzantine Monastery at Dafni. Founded in the sixth-century on the site of the Sanctuary of Apollo it has undergone several restorations resulting in the cloisonné style exterior common to Greek Byzantine churches we see today. The interior is laid out in a simple Greek cross-octagon with an important mosaic of Christ the Pantocrator gazing down sternly from his place in the heavens atop the dome. Arriving in Athens, there is a short orientation walk before dinner in a local restaurant. Overnight Athens (B, D)

Saturday 16 November Acropolis and Benaki Museum This morning we explore the Acropolis and its monuments, which form the greatest architectural and artistic complex bequeathed by Greek Antiquity to the world.

Over 3000 artefacts from the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean cultures dating from the 4th century CE are housed over four levels in two separate buildings. As one of the most important exhibits of Cycladic art in the world, the collection contains austere marble figurines depicting the naked human form that have inspired 20th-century artists such as Brancussi, Modigliani and Moore.
