Sharm el-Sheikh
A world-acclaimed dive centre and the most developed of the Red Sea resorts, Sharm el-Sheikh has many holiday activities, and plenty of luxury accommodation and restaurants available. Most Sharm el-Sheikh hotels and diving centres are situated four miles (7km) from the city at Naama Bay and it has become a busy holiday resort with plenty of shopping opportunities, lots of late night entertainment and an attractive holiday atmosphere.
Numerous dive sites are within reach of Sharm el-Sheikh, including the huge drop-offs at Ras Mohammed in the extreme southern part of the peninsula, the Straits of Tiran, various wrecks, and about 28 sites located along the coast that are accessed by boat. Naama Bay has a gently sloping sandy bottom, is ideal for dive classes, and provides diving and snorkelling opportunities for all levels without having to use a boat or car to get there.
Besides excellent diving and snorkelling, which are the main activities when in Sharm el-Sheikh on holiday, there are plenty of watersports available if one feels like doing more than just soaking up the sun. Add a vibrant nightlife with casinos, discos and nightclubs and one can't complain of boredom!
Ain Sukhna

Kusadasi
Kusadası is a large resort town on Turkey's Aegean coast, and the centre of the seaside district of the same name within Aydın Province. Kusadası is 95 km (59 mi) south of İzmir, and about 60 km (37 mi) from Aydın. The municipality's primary industry is tourism. Kusadası is a hugely popular tourist destination due to its perfect combination of culture, amazing beaches and fantastic things to eat and do. The area features several well-known local beaches, including Ladies Beach, the beach at the centrum, the beaches between the Batıhan Hotel and the Nazilli Site, the beach at Güzelçamlı, and the Dilek Peninsula National Park beach, referred to by locals as simply Milli Park.

Athens
Athens exudes a unique charm through its mix of street markets, vine-covered tavernas, souvenir stalls, ancient monuments and high-rise buildings. For tourists, a plus is that most of the capital's attractions are accessible by foot.
Athens was named after Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom. According to mythology, she won the city after duelling against Poseidon, god of the sea. Indeed, Athens can chart its history back thousands of years and is regarded as the cradle of Western civilisation. More specifically, it's democracy's birthplace, and where philosophy, art and architecture were refined.
The city declined after the Classical Age, dwindling to nothing but a town in the colourful area now known as the Plaka. It emerged as independent Greece's capital in 1834.
Today, the city is bustling. And though the pollution, frantic gridlock and dingy buildings are a striking contrast to the open beauty of Greece's coast and islands, Athens is truly the country's beating heart. Ancient wonders like the Acropolis, the Parthenon, and the Temples of Zeus and Hephaestus ensure that the city will always lure travellers.

Adventures Ashore

Greece and the Mediterranean is warm and relaxed, and that’s exactly what our authentic experiences capture. Go further with more intimate group excursions that invite you to linger longer.
We never get tired of rediscovering this part of the world. And this time, you’re along for the adventure. Immerse yourself in the true heart of this land and see where your Celestyal adventure will take you.

Our authentic experiences scratch deeper beneath the surface to take you closer to the heart of Greece. Expect the unexpected. Be ready to immerse yourself in a truly unique experience with local people, homegrown flavours, and stories passed down through the generations. You’ll leave with your own story to tell.
Experiences for just you and a few
Greece’s soul is warm and relaxed, so that’s exactly what our authentic experiences capture. They are small group excursions that invite you to linger longer.
We set aside a limited number of spaces so that you get a more personalised experience. It does mean that you need to book quickly to secure your space. Remember to reserve your spot at least two weeks before you sail.
Authentic themes to fire your imagination
Foodie Heaven: When just a taste won't do, our authentic excursions let you indulge. We take you off the tourist trail and to the local producers, where you explore the islands through your senses. Thyme infused honey? Give it a try. Silky custard pie? Go on then. The crispiest white wine from Santorini's oldest winery. It would be rude not to! Savour the flavours and honour the people who keep Greece the wholesome place it is to this day.
Culture Vulture: Greek islands are alive with colour, smells, sights and sounds. As we weave through the hidden cobbled streets and alleys, the sensory experiences will only become more intense. Feel history between your fingertips as you mimic ancient craftsmanship. Listen to the music and slower pace of life high up in the hills. See how the experiences move you.
Seeking Adventure: Venture off the well-trodden path and you'll soon need equipment to help you explore. Thankfully, us Greeks don't see that as a problem. Get kitted out with paddles, a snorkel mask, or hiking boots and you can unearth nature's own stories. It will be just you and the purest blue waters, the wildflowers, and the ocean breeze.
Wonders of archaeology: Every step you take through ancient ruins gets you closer to what life was once like. But imagine what you'd learn if you were able to dig beneath the surface? That's what our archaeologists are here to do. See the ancient sites through their eves and learn about the true culture of the people who called them home thousands of years ago.
