The sun’s heat plays pinball off the white cubist houses lining the
streets. Come duck into the shadows of a cool blue doorway. A donkey
laden with baskets clops up the cobblestones, in no hurry. (No one
hurries.) There is all the time – centuries and eons of time – in the
world. How many civilizations have come and gone where you are standing?
What great cultures have flourished; how much literature, and thought?
Atlantis…Ephesus…the Byzantines and Ottomans…the Knights of St.
John. Welcome to the Greek Isles, your reprieve from the twentieth
century has been granted. For the next seven days, you’re free to stand
in the wind among ruins; sun on glorious golden sands; explore bazaars
filled with alabaster, kilim rugs, and spices; and dance to bouzoukis
late at night. From Athens to Istanbul (or in reverse, if you prefer),
Wind Spirit and Wind Song will sail to the best of the Greek Isles:
Mykonos, Santorini, and ravishing Rhodes, then call on the sparkling
Turkish resorts of Bodrum and Kusadasi, outside of which lie the ruins
of Ephesus and the splendors of a luminous past.
