Guides
Our exceptional team of licensed guides brings to your cruise experience a deep knowledge of Greek Jewish heritage, giving life to the vibrant role of the Romaniote and Sephardic communities of the past. Jewish presence in Greece dates back to antiquity and follows the tumultuous course of the country’s history to the present day.
Jewish History of Greece
The Jewish History of Greece dates back thousands of years and has played a prominent role in the country’s rich, multi-cultural heritage. As far back as the 4th century BCE, an account by Clearchus of Soli describes an encounter between the famous Greek philosopher, Aristotle (4th century BCE) and a Jewish sage while travelling in Asia Minor.
