Inside the MMC26 Excursion Experience
On MMC, the riffs don’t stop at sea. You’ll headbang under the stars, raise your horns on deck, and explore the legendary beauty of Greece by day. From the ancient streets of Athens to the shores of Mykonos and beyond, this is more than a cruise —it’s a journey where metal meets myth. This is MMC: the real metal holiday you’ve been waiting for.
Mykonos

Mykonos Free Walking Experience
The first-ever Metal Walking Experience in Mykonos is happening at Mediterranea Metal Cruise. Embark on an epic journey with stops at legendary spots, breathtaking sunsets, and unyielding metal energy!

Mykonian Dinner
Wander the ancient streets of Mykonos — where cobbled alleys, white walls, and windmills set the scene. We storm through Chora past iconic sights like Paraportiani Church, Little Venice, and relics of maritime legends. Our path ends with a feast at a local taverna: bold flavors, cold drinks, and real Greek soul. This isn’t just a dinner. It’s a ritual.

Mykonian countryside tour with Chora and Little Venice
Hop on a ride through raw island soul — from the wild shores of Kalafatis to the silent strength of Ano Mera’s 16th-century monastery. Sip coffee where time stands still, then dive back into Chora’s twisted alleys, ancient relics, and the wind-whipped walls of Little Venice. A journey through history, spirit, and stone. Tour may not be available at certain times of the year.
Kuşadası

House of Virgin Mary & Ancient Ephesus
Step where gods once walked. Home to the mighty Temple of Artemis — one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Marble pillars, sacred ground, and echoes of empires. From the Library of Celsus to the House of the Virgin Mary, this isn’t just history — it’s myth carved in stone. A journey through time you won’t forget.

Ancient Ephesus through the ages - Hellenistic and Roman
Step into the ancient stronghold of Artemis. Built by the Greeks, ruled by Romans, and touched by early Christianity — Ephesus is carved in myth and marble. Walk the sacred Curetes Street, marvel at the Library of Celsus, Hadrian’s Temple, and what’s left of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Only 13% uncovered — and it still roars with stories. After the ruins, time to hunt for relics of your own: carpets, leather, and treasures of today.

Walk in the Footsteps of Legends
We start at the ruined bones of the 6th-century Basilica of St. John — legend says the Apostle rests beneath. Time may have cracked the stone, but the energy still lingers. Then, Ephesus. Once the Roman Empire’s pulse. Enter through the Magnesia Gate. March marble roads once walked by emperors, rebels, and even Cleopatra. The Library of Celsus, the roaring Great Theatre, the Arcadian Way.

Ancient Ephesus and the Terrace Houses
Step through the Magnesian Gate into a city carved in marble and myth. Walk the Curetes Way past the towering Library of Celsus, Trajan’s Fountain, and the mighty Great Theatre. Explore the Terrace Houses — ancient luxury with hot water and floor heating, still standing strong. Once second only to Rome, Ephesus was forged in honor of Artemis, with a temple that took 120 years to build — now lost to time, but never forgotten. Finish with a hunt for treasures: leather, silver, and stories etched in stone.

Ancient Civilisations with an expert archaeologist
Some places hit you like a riff to the chest — Ephesus is one of them. Walk the same marble streets as emperors, prophets, and legends. From the Gate of Magnesia to the towering Library of Celsus, every stone bleeds history. Explore the elite Terrace Houses with ancient underfloor heating and frescoed walls. Stand where St. Paul once roared to 24,000 souls in the Great Theatre. And though the mighty Temple of Artemis has fallen, its legacy still shakes the earth.
Patmos

Religious visit to St John’s Monastery - Grotto of Apocalypse
Climb the winding alleys to the mighty Monastery of St. John, founded in 1088, and step into a Byzantine church lit with ancient icons and frescoes that have weathered centuries. Explore a museum of sacred relics, then descend into the Grotto of the Apocalypse, where legend says the heavens spoke through the rock itself. Once believed to have risen from the sea by the will of Zeus, Patmos blends myth, faith, and awe like nowhere else.

Countryside tour with Chora and the Grotto of Apocalypse
Our journey begins at Skala and winds through the ancient capital of Chora, home to the towering Monastery of St. John and the legendary Grotto of the Apocalypse — where, as the story goes, heaven opened and the Book of Revelation was spoken. From there, we roam through wind-swept hills, raw rocky terrain, and jagged coves that give this island its fierce beauty. Myth says Zeus raised Patmos from the depths — and walking here, it feels like the gods still watch. We finish back in Skala, where a well-earned coffee awaits in the shade of Arion.

Capturing the true spirit of Chora
his sacred island is where St. John received his Revelation, and where stone walls still echo prophecy. We’ll visit the Cave of the Apocalypse and the mighty Monastery that watches over Chora like a sentinel. But there’s more than ancient faith — step into the timeless Simandiri Mansion, a preserved 17th-century house where generations have guarded icons, silverware, and hand-stitched history. Hosted by Morfoula Simandiri herself, this is living tradition — vaulted ceilings, Asia Minor craftsmanship, relics from Tsarist Russia… it’s a walk through centuries wrapped in stone and silence.

Traditional feast in Patmos (Only Sold Onboard)
Escape the port and ride into the wild heart of Patmos — across jagged hills, sacred ground, and postcard villages. This island rose from the Aegean by Zeus' command (or so the myth goes), and it still carries that divine spark. At the end of the road? A traditional taverna where the tables groan with island-made dishes, and the music of Patmos fills the air. Locals play, dancers move, and you dig into real food from real people.
Rhodes

Acropolis of Lindos and the Citadel of the Knights
The Colossus is gone — but the feeling remains. As you arrive in Rhodes, imagine the ancient giant once standing guard over the harbor. Today, the island reveals its layers through stone, sea, and time. The road to Lindos winds along the coast before rising to the Acropolis, where the Temple of Athena still overlooks the Aegean. Below, white houses and quiet streets carry centuries of stories. Back in Rhodes Town, the journey shifts into the medieval world. Walk through the gates of the Knights, along paths where orders once lived and ruled. Fortresses, crests, and towering walls — a legacy that still stands.

Walking tour in the Medieval City of Rhodes
Some places are not meant to be rushed. Rhodes Old Town is one of them. Walk the Street of the Knights — one of the best-preserved medieval routes in the world — where stone buildings still reflect the lives of those who once ruled here. At its center stands the Palace of the Grand Master — a fortress shaped by centuries, from Byzantine foundations to Gothic power. Around it, mosques, baths, hospitals, and churches reveal a city built layer by layer.
Santorini

Spectacular Oia Village perched on the Caldera rim
First time or not — Santorini hits hard. This volcanic beast of an island rises from the Aegean like a throne of stone and light. We start in Megalochori — raw, untouched, real. Then ride the caldera's edge past Imerovigli and Firostefani to the legendary cliffs of Oia. White walls. Black rock. Endless blue. Explore the alleys, gaze into the crater of an ancient fury, and feel the power that shaped gods and cities. This isn’t just a view. It’s a memory etched in lava and sky.

Cruise to Santorini’s islands and volcanoes
Board a small boat to Nea Kameni — the raw, black heart of Santorini. Hike its crater like you're walking the moon. Feel the heat. Smell the sulphur. This is no ordinary island — it's still alive. Next stop: Palea Kameni. Brave the swim into its sulphur springs — five degrees hotter, green-gold, and wild. Then shift gears in Fira. Grab a drink, explore, or just take it all in before the funicular drops you to the Old Port. Tour may not be available at certain times of the year.

Music, myths and history
We rise to Pyrgos, Santorini’s highest village — a timeless mountaintop haven frozen in another era. Whitewashed lanes, Cycladic charm, and the ghost of a Venetian fortress lead us to the summit for jaw-dropping views over the island. We continue to Megalochori, where homes carved in volcanic rock echo the island’s raw beauty. Then it’s time for Symposion — a myth-driven sound journey through handmade instruments and ancient tales, set in a former winery. We end in Fira for free time and a cable car descent with views worthy of legends.
Athens

Athens tour and the New Acropolis Museum
We ride through the heart of a city forged in myth — where wisdom met war, and legends rose in stone. First stop: the colossal Temple of Zeus, father of the gods. Then past the Greek Parliament to the Panathenaic Stadium — birthplace of the modern Olympics. We roll by the neoclassical Trilogy of Athens, through Omonia and Syntagma, and into the shadowy charm of Plaka beneath the Acropolis. The final strike? The Acropolis Museum — a modern fortress of ancient glory, where the past stares back in marble and myth.

Ancient Temple of Poseidon and Cape Sounion
Just 30 minutes from Athens, the ride cuts through pine-covered roads before revealing the mighty Temple of Poseidon — perched on the edge of the world, surrounded by the Aegean. Built in 444 BC after Persian destruction, its Doric columns still stand like ancient sentinels. Once crowned with fierce statues and warrior friezes, it remains a tribute to the god of the sea. Beyond the temple lie ruins of fortresses, gateways, and sacred ground — echoes of an age when gods and mortals walked the cliffs together.
