There is no better way to explore the delights of the Eastern Mediterranean than by sailing on the original Ocean Village on an Ocean Village cruise. Visit historic islands and mainland ports steeped in tradition, archaeology and mythology such as Rhodes, Cyprus and Ephesus.
The Ocean Village Olives and Ouzo itinerary allows you to visit these, and many more places throughout the Eastern Mediterranean. Take a tranquil stroll through olive groves and taste some wonderful local wines. Not too much Ouzo though or you may just miss the boat!
