There’ll also be the chance to see the recently-excavated Terrace Houses and the House of the Virgin Mary near Kusadasi, the Monastery of St John on Patmos Island (where he wrote the Book of Revelations,) and Bodrum’s Mausoleum of Halicarnassus that one’s of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

SeaDream Yacht Club includes five-star cuisine and premium wines and bar drinks in its prices, together with power and sail water-sports (where locally permitted,) a 30-international course golf simulator, state of the art fitness centre, mountain bikes for shore excursions, port charges and taxes, and even gratuities.

ADDITIONAL DETAIL: FOR those not interested in visiting Gallipoli when SeaDream I has a day in Kepez there is an optional tour to the remains of the ancient city of Troy, and in Rhodes guests can see the extraordinary walls of the city that are 12 metres thick and surrounded by a moat 21 metres wide.

Santorini whose villages cling to the edge of an ancient volcano that wiped out the island’s earliest settlements 3,600 years ago is considered Greece’s most-popular destination, and at Mykonos there will be a full day and into the evening to enjoy its beaches and cosmopolitan lifestyle.
