Experiences
While golfers enjoy world-class courses, the itinerary is equally rewarding for non-golfers, combining cultural discovery, scenic cruising, and relaxed time ashore across Greece and Turkey.
Costa Navarino (Pre-Cruise)
Non-golfers staying at Costa Navarino can enjoy the resort’s extensive facilities, including a full-service spa, private beach clubs, coastal walking trails, and multiple dining venues. Optional activities include olive oil tastings, guided cycling routes through the Messinian countryside, and visits to nearby historic villages and archaeological sites. The resort provides a relaxed, high-quality alternative to golf days.
Corinth Canal (Scenic Cruising)
Cruising through the Corinth Canal is a highlight for all guests. The narrow passage, carved through solid rock, offers dramatic views from the deck and a unique perspective on one of Greece’s great engineering achievements. This is a scenic cruising experience rather than a port stop, ideal for photography and commentary from onboard experts.
Katakolon (Gateway to Olympia)
In Katakolon, non-golfers can join included sightseeing to Ancient Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games. Options typically include guided visits to the archaeological site and museum, offering insight into classical Greek history. Those preferring a lighter day can explore Katakolon’s waterfront cafés, shops, and local markets at their own pace.
Chania, Crete
The port of Chania offers one of the most charming old towns in the Aegean. Non-golfers may enjoy guided sightseeing through the Venetian harbour, narrow historic streets, and local artisan quarters, or choose free time to shop, dine, and relax by the waterfront. The city’s blend of Venetian, Ottoman, and Greek influences makes it a rewarding cultural stop.
Santorini
A full day in Santorini allows non-golfers to experience one of Greece’s most iconic islands. Included excursions may visit clifftop villages such as Oia and Fira, offering sweeping caldera views and traditional architecture. There is also time to explore independently, enjoy cafés overlooking the sea, or browse local boutiques.
Mykonos
In Mykonos, non-golfers can explore the island’s whitewashed old town, windmills, and waterfront promenades. The day can be as relaxed or active as desired, with options ranging from guided walking tours to beach time or leisurely dining by the harbour. Mykonos offers a vibrant yet accessible island experience.
Kusadasi
The port of Kusadasi provides access to some of Turkey’s most important ancient sites. Non-golfers may join excursions to Ephesus, one of the best-preserved classical cities in the Mediterranean, including the Library of Celsus and the Great Theatre. Alternatively, guests can explore Kusadasi’s bazaars, cafés, and waterfront independently.
Dardanelles Passage
Sailing through the Dardanelles is a historically significant and scenic experience. This narrow strait, central to ancient trade routes and modern history alike, is enjoyed from the deck with onboard commentary, offering insight into its strategic importance.
Istanbul
In Istanbul, non-golfers enjoy included sightseeing in one of the world’s most culturally layered cities. Highlights typically include visits to major landmarks such as the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Grand Bazaar, along with time to experience the city’s vibrant street life and waterfront. Istanbul’s blend of European and Asian influences provides a memorable conclusion to the cruise.
Belek, Turkey (Post-Cruise)
For non-golfers staying in Belek, the focus is on relaxation and resort living.
