[shapethecentury]

Today we make our way to Epidavros. Take your time to wander the charming coastal town before heading to the world's largest and most ancient Greek theater. Explore the historic ruins while taking in the picturesque landscape.

Later, we'll enjoy an awe-inspiring sunset over the mountains as we toast our drinks to another great day.

ABOARD THE YACHTS - AM

[shapethecentury]

We are aboard three 50' yachts: The Hermes, the Dionysus, and the Poseidon. Enjoy air-conditioning, generous above-deck lounging areas, a roomy below-deck saloon, and a fully equipped kitchen. There's plenty of room (for a boat) to relax and socialize. The teachers get ensuites and the students are in either double rooms or bunk beds, depending on what's funnier, and have to share two bathrooms.

A breakfast of delicious Greek things is served in the relative privacy of your yacht, this morning! Please note in your subject line whether you're in your room or in the common areas. Room assignments are here!

EXPLORING EPIDAVROS

[shapethecentury]

Epidavros is one of the most popular archaeological sites in Greece, and much like all the other spots along the cruise, it is exceedingly pretty.

GREEK THEATRE [2/26]

[shapethecentury]

While there currently no ancient Greek masterpieces being performed, the Ancient Theatre of Epidavros is in itself a masterpiece of ancient Greek engineering, with its impressive symmetry and fantastic acoustics.

Caleb was tempted to try out the acoustics but didn't want to disturb the other visitors. Then someone else cried out "Day-o!" and he had to reply.

"Me say daaaay-o!"

There was a brief awkward pause and then from somewhere else "Day light come and me wanna go home."

SCUBA DIVING [2/26]

[shapethecentury]

More interested in current events than the ancient world? Why not try scuba diving! Take it easy and learn the basics while spotting octopus and moray eels, or get more adventurous and go seespectacular drop cliffs or rocky outcrops.

SUNDOWNER [2/26]

Find a good spot to watch the colors of the sunset cast over the mountains and reflected all across the water.

It wasn't Rey's first sunset here and it probably wouldn't be her last. The only real pictures she'd ever taken on Jakku were of sunsets, and she was still sorry she didn't have them anymore, so she was still taking video now.

DINNER [2/26]

[shapethecentury]

Get fancy with Restaurant Michel's fine dining experience on a private terrace with breathtaking panoramic views atop a mountain.

Flint was navigating the ship now, learning far too quickly for the skipper's comfort. He muttered something under his breath in Greek, which Flint didn't understand but could get tone. "I'm not taking your ship," he said.

"...yet."
