Mykonos 4 MYKONOS EXCURSIONS
Duration: Half day Tour code: MYK - 04 This popular excursion on foot takes us up close to the wonders of Mykonos Town or Chora and the sights, sounds, tastes and flavours that make it one of the world's best loved destinations. We begin with a stroll along the narrow cobbled streets, past the boutiques, whitewashed houses and elegant cafes until we come to Kastro, home of the famously beautiful Paraportiani Church, a must for every visitor. We may visit the Folklore Museum or Aegean Maritime Museum. The Folklore Museum is housed in an old two storey captain's house. The museum's exhibits include traditional costumes, furniture and household items typically found on Mykonos in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as jewellery and textiles. The Maritime Museum used to be the home of the legendary Master of the merchant ship "Enosis", Nikolaos Sourmelis. Its exhibits include models of ships from the pre-Minoan period to this day, historical shipping documents, rare engravings and maps, ancient artefacts, navigational instruments, equipment and tools. Our tour continues with a walk to Alefkhandra and the ubiquitous windmills, the symbol of Mykonos, recognised the world over. This part of the town is known as Little Venice. The houses belonging to wealthy merchants and sea captains were built on the water in the 18th century and their wooden balconies are a little reminder of the homes along the canals of Venice. We conclude our trip at a local taverna, where we enjoy traditional food and drink, reflect on what we have seen, chat and savour the tastes, aromas and essence of genuine Greek spirit.

Duration: Half day Tour code: MYK - 06 We set off by coach from Mykonos Town, also known as Chora. We visit the lovely colourful beach of Kalafatis. On our return trip to Chora we call at the traditional village of Ano Mera and the monastery of Panagia Tourliani, founded in 1542. It houses a wonderful collection of icons and has a beautiful bell tower and marble fountain, well worth seeing. The delightful village square of Ano Mera is the perfect spot for a short break and maybe a coffee. You'll be relaxing in one of the island's oldest communities. Back in Mykonos Town we stop at the Paraportiani church (which literally means Our Lady of the Side Gate and is actually made up of five churches) and the Folklore Museum. Here you can see many exhibits including traditional costumes, furniture and personal items typical of Mykonos life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It's a fascinating glimpse into the island of more than 100 years ago We finish at Little Venice, the neighbourhood of Alefkhandra to admire those famous windmills, a sight you can surely never tire of. Tour may not be available at certain times of the year.

Duration: Half day Tour code: MYK - 05 This vast sandy beach is the ideal spot to try your hand at watersports, splash about or simply relax with a good book and the sea breeze. You can hire a sun lounger and umbrella to unwind for hours with glittering blue Aegean in view. Located on the quieter eastern side of the island, Kalafatis Beach generally attracts fewer people than other Mykonos beaches. Yet the good offshore breeze means that windsurfing and other water sports won't disappoint. With a restaurant conveniently situated at either end of the beach, you can grab an authentic bite of local cuisine whenever the mood calls. For an even more tranquil visit, you can wander across to the smaller and just as beautiful Agia Anna beach - the perfect place for a swim in the sun. Cost of the facilities at the beach is not included in the price of the excursion. TRANSFER TO KALAFATIS BEACH Kalafatis Beach 7 MYKONOS EXCURSIONS SOLD ONLY ON BOARD

Since its hedonistic days in the 60s when its first thrill seekers sought freedom on the sands, it has become the location for many a club, beach bar and party. With its wide stretch of sand, turquoise waters and close proximity to Mykonos town, Paradise Beach is a hotspot with a buzzing vibe to match. Beach bars and restaurants border the sands, so there is always a tune to be heard and a delicious meal to be enjoyed. For a taste of the nightlife during the day, head to the western end of the beach for a fruity cocktail in one of the bars. Dotted with sun loungers and umbrellas, this is the perfect place to soak up the vibrant atmosphere that Mykonos is known for the world over.

Library of Celsius, Ephesus 10 KUSADASI EXCURSIONS
Duration: Half day Tour code: KUS - 01 We say with Celestyal every moment is a destination and every destination is a wonder. That's more than just a figure of speech. In some cases it's literally true. So our visit to Ephesus brings us to the site of the fourth of our Seven Wonders. Ephesus was an Ancient Greek city on the coast of Ionia. It's now in Turkey. It was famed for the nearby Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders, completed around 550BC. The temple, with more than 100 marble pillars each standing 56 feet tall took 120 years to build and it earned the city the name 'Servant of the Goddess.' A single solitary pillar remains standing on the site, found during an excavation in the 1870s. As with so many places in the Eastern Mediterranean, Ephesus changed hands many times over the centuries. But it remains one of the largest Roman archaeological sites in the region. You will be in awe of this incredible historic complex and the ruins you explore still give some idea of the original splendour of Ephesus. Among the sights to be admired still are the iconic and instantly recognisable Library of Celsus, the Gate of Augustus, Magnesian Gate, the Agora, Odeon, the Houses of the Patricians, the Great Theatre, Hadrian's Temple and the House of the Virgin Mary. HOUSE OF VIRGIN MARY & ANCIENT EPHESUS One legend suggests Mary may have spent her last years here following Jesus' instruction to St John the Evangelist to look after his mother. Many consider it to have been her final home and it has become a place of pilgrimage. In 1957 the Vatican formalised this recognition. Three Popes have visited. Another reason why Ephesus is important in Christianity is that the apostle Paul lived, preached and wrote extensively here including his Letter to the Corinthians. Ephesus is one of the largest, most fascinating and most inspiring open-air archaeological museums in the world. This is an excursion you are unlikely to forget. We have time for shopping for carpets, jewellery, leather and other souvenirs at the end of our tour. City of Ephesus, Library of Celsus 11 KUSADASI EXCURSIONS CHILD €66 ADULT €89
Baths of Scholastica The Temple of Hadrian Trajan's Fountain 12 Duration: Half day Tour code: KUS - 02 This is a wonderful journey through some of the most important and formative periods of history and we hope you will be enthralled by the stories of the Hellenes, Romans and of Christianity in our fascinating exploration of Ephesus. This marvellous city, sitting on the hills outside Kusadasi is a fabulous open air archaeological wonder founded by the Greeks around 2000 BC. It was one of the most important cities of the region and was dedicated to the goddess Artemis. The Temple built in her honour was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It had more than 100 marble pillars each standing 56 feet tall and it earned the city the name 'Servant of the Goddess.' A single pillar remains standing on the site, found during an excavation in the 1870s. We will be able to see the Agora, Odeon, the Library of Celsus, the marvel-paved Main Street of Curetes, the Baths of Scholastica, Trajan's Fountain, the Temple of Hadrian and the Houses of Koressus, where the wealthy families of Ancient Ephesus lived. Only 13 per cent of Ephesus has so far been uncovered. The finds from the excavations made so far are housed in the Archaeological Museum of Ephesus in the city of Selcuk. We have time for shopping for carpets, jewellery, leather and other souvenirs at the end of our tour. ANCIENT EPHESUS THROUGH THE AGES - HELLENISTIC AND ROMAN KUSADASI EXCURSIONS CHILD €59 ADULT €79
Library of Celsus Main Street of Curetes Ancient Roman Mosaics from Terrace Houses 13 Duration: Half day Tour code: KUS - 07 Every step we take in Ancient Ephesus brings us closer to the Hellenistic, Roman and early Christian eras. We will enjoy a truly exceptional experience in one of the most important and complete classical cities in Europe, even though only a fraction of it has been uncovered. We pass through the Magnesian Gate and wander through the Agora, Odeon, the magnificent and restored Library of Celsus, the marble-paved Main Street of Curetes, Baths of Scholastica, The Great Theatre, Trajan's Fountain, the Houses of the Patricians, Prytaneum and the Temple of Hadrian. Opposite Hadrian's Temple, at the foot of the Bulbul Hill and the covered part of the archaeological site, protected from the heat and natural elements, lie the Houses of Koressus or Terrace Houses. It was here that the wealthy families of Ancient Ephesus lived. These villas are excellently preserved, especially the interior decor. The oldest houses so far unearthed date from the 1st Century BC, were built on two storeys and even had hot and cold and a heating system, clay pipes under the floor. They were even constructed to a city plan in which roads intersected with each other at right angles. Ephesus, which became the second largest city in the Roman Empire, was dedicated to the goddess Artemis and the magnificent temple built to honour her took 120 years to complete. It is one of six of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World that have long gone. We have time for shopping for carpets, jewellery, leather and other souvenirs at the end of our tour.

Duration: Half day - LIMITED AVAILABILITY Tour code: KUS - 06 A water world of adventure awaits guests at Adaland, something of a contrast with our more sedate tours.

There are 10,000 square metres of slides, wave pools, waterfalls and rides with facilities and thrills for all age groups. The heart-stopping 'big rides' include the Screamer, Black Thunder and the Anaconda. The names say it all.

There are more than 20 family friendly rides, plenty to keep everyone busy. Also featured are the children's pool and slides jacuzzi pool, wave pool, activity pool. The little ones get their own separate areas. ADVENTURE, SPILLS AND THRILLS AT ADALAND WATER PARK Adaland Water Park 14 KUSADASI EXCURSIONS CHILD €34 ADULT €49
Duration: Half day - LIMITED AVAILABILITY Tour code: KUS-11 Sometimes you visit a place and metaphorically rub your eyes because you can't quite believe you are there. We think Ephesus is one such destination. Every step we take brings us closer to the incredible civilisations of the Hellenes, Romans and Ottomans. Here once stood one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Temple of Artemis. Our visit to Ephesus is the very essence of experiential travel and we are proud to be able to show it to you in the company of an expert archaeologist-guide as we feel, see and touch ancient history. What a magnificent experience to take away and hold onto forever. Ephesus ranks among the world's most beautiful classical cities. St John and the Virgin Mary visited and here St Paul wrote one of his most celebrated epistles, the Letter to the Ephesians. Beginning at the Magnesium Gate we walk gently and leisurely downhill through Ephesus' marble streets, passing historically-significant sites such as the gymnasium, Temple of Hadrian, Upper Agora and Roman Baths. Opposite Hadrian's Temple, at the foot of the Bulbul Hill and the covered part of the archaeological site, protected from the heat and natural elements, lie the Houses of Koressus or Terrace Houses. It was here that the wealthy families of Ancient Ephesus lived. These villas are excellently preserved, especially the interior decor. The oldest houses so far unearthed date from the 1st Century BC, were built on two storeys and even had hot and cold and a heating system, clay pipes under the floor. Then we come to the breathtaking Celsus Library, built in 135 B.C. and lavishly decorated with facades, columns and sculptures. The library once housed 12,000 scrolls of papyrus manuscripts, making it one of the largest in the ancient world. A short walk away is the spectacular Greek Theatre, able to seat 24,000. From here St. Paul preached to the populace, imploring them to give up their worship of Artemis and embrace the Christian faith. Only foundations and fragment of the magnificent Temple of Artemis remain at Ephesus but just being at the site of one of the Seven Wonders is something special.

16 St John's Monastery PATMOS EXCURSIONS
17 Duration: Half day Tour code: PAT - 01 This excursion takes us to a small but fascinating island with connections to the Bible and to the Gods. Patmos in the Aegean is among the northernmost islands of the Dodecanese. It is has a long been a place of pilgrimage because Patmos is mentioned in the Book of Revelation, the last book of the Christian Bible. It records that St John the Evangelist received a vision from Jesus here. Visitors can see the location where John is said to have had the revelation, the Cave or Grotto of the Apocalypse. Meanwhile a number of churches are named after the apostle and we are able to call at the Monastery of St John. The picturesque alleyways wind up to the Monastery which was founded by St. Christodoulos in 1088. We are able to enter the yard, where the monks take their meals and the old bakery. Of exquisite beauty is our tour of the Byzantine Church of St John, adorned with a wood-carved icon screen, important frescoes from several periods of history. Next we stop at a small museum which is home to priceless religious treasures including manuscripts, medieval textiles and vestments. RELIGIOUS VISIT TO ST JOHN'S MONASTERY - GROTTO OF APOCALYPSE Behind the chapel of St Anne lies the entrance to the Grotto of the Apocalypse. We will see the cross engraved by St John and the triple fissure in the wall where John is said to have heard God telling of the Apocalypse. You may feel the historical and religious enormity of this special moment. In Greek mythology Patmos originally existed at the bottom of the sea but Zeus was persuaded to allow it rise from the waters. The sun dried the land and people from the region began inhabiting the island they named Letois after the goddess Artemis. St John's Monastery St John's Monastery PATMOS EXCURSIONS CHILD €59 ADULT €75
18 Duration: Half day Tour code: PAT - 02 The lovely island of Patmos is a UNESCO World Heritage Monument. Our panoramic excursion begins in the port of Skala, heading to the centre of the island and the capital of Chora. Here we see the Monastery of St John the Evangelist and visit the Grotto of the Apocalypse. This is where, according to the biblical account, Jesus spoke to John and told him of the Apocalypse. It is mentioned in the Book of Revelation, the last book of the Christian Bible. It's no surprise then that many people make their way to Patmos each year for pilgrimage. In the central area of Chora we find the silent windmills which stand sentry-like over the capital. Our tour continues as we head to some of the more desolate landscapes of the island, typical of the Dodecanese. Rocky hills, barren soil and promontories jutting into the sea creating dozens of coves and bays making up an intricate coastline. Here you might reflect on the legend of how the island lay at the bottom of the sea and how Zeus was prevailed upon to allow it to rise from the water. Which he did. We end our exploration back at Skala. Coffee and other refreshments await you at the atmospheric cafe Arion. COUNTRYSIDE TOUR WITH CHORA AND THE GROTTO OF APOCALYPSE Stunning scenery Skala St John's Monastery in the background PATMOS EXCURSIONS CHILD €59 ADULT €75
Duration: Half day Tour code: PAT - 06 Our Greek Odyssey has an undoubted spiritual dimension. Perhaps this is no surprise when you consider how important the history of Christianity is to the places we visit of our voyage of discovery. This certainly true of Patmos, one of the northernmost islands of the Dodecanese and a significant Christian pilgrimage site. You can almost feel its strong spiritual character and you may find your time here a truly moving, soulful experience. The Cave of the Apocalypse is where John of Patmos or St John the Theologian is said have received the visions he wrote of in the Book of Revelations. A fortresslike, 11th-century monastery dedicated to John overlooks the whitewashed houses of the hilltop capital, Hora (also known as Chora). In Chora, next to the Monastery of Zoodochos Pigi, is the unique 1625 mansion of Simandiri, which is where we are headed. The mansion has been converted into a folklore museum, a genuine cultural gem and monument. It has been beautifully preserved for eight generations now, the second oldest building in the town. The lady of the house, Morfoula Simantiri is our host and guide, gracefully presenting her precious handmade embroideries. She is a member of the eighth generation. Here you can step back in time in the intimate setting and glimpse everyday life in Patmos during the past centuries through furniture, paintings, photographs, traditional tools and everyday objects. We hope you will be enthralled by this beautiful home, constructed by craftsmen from Asia Minor. You will be able to admire the traditional architecture of Patmos in the vaulted ceilings in an open ground floor swept by stunning arches. Discover in the rooms antique furniture and silverware from 17th Century Russia, valuable artwork and icons from the 15th to 17th centuries. The mansion is veritable treasure trove and time machine which intrigues and fascinates.

It's as classic an Aegean beach as you will find and the best on the island along with Psili Ammos. Agrio Livadi, about 3km from the port of Skala, means 'wild meadow' and the beach caters for all tastes, sun lounging, swimming or water sports. The water is beautiful and clean and the atmosphere on the beach is relaxed. At the end of the beach there is an excellent Greek taverna. Cost of the facilities at the beach is not included in the price of the excursion. TRANSFER TO AGRIOLIVADI BEACH Agrio Livadi Beach 20 PATMOS EXCURSIONS SOLD ONLY ON BOARD

Your welcoming hosts are keen to show you the traditional dishes of their beautiful island in one of the loveliest classic hillside villages, We begin at the port of Scala for the scenic coach ride to the hills. The island, one of the northernmost in the Dodecanese, is made up of three mountainous parts, linked by two isthmuses at the centre. Patmos feels off the beaten path and esoteric, thanks to its unspoilt natural beauty, picture postcard villages, stunning vistas and sacred sites. We drive through numerous fabulous villages - but be sure to look down for incredible views of the Aegean, from which Patmos rose on the orders of Zeus. At least that's according to Greek mythology and who are we to argue? Greeted by the scent of wildflowers we take a short stroll to the taverna where the tables are overflowing with traditional Patmian fare. Local musicians and a dance troupe perform as we enjoy a wonderful meal. We experience the authentic heart of the Patmos countryside.

Town of Lindos and Acropolis on the island of Rhodes RHODES EXCURSIONS 22
Duration: Half day Tour code: RHO - 01 Let's begin in unusual fashion, with what you won't see in Rhodes. One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World once proudly stood here. He was the Colossus of Rhodes and is of course long departed, probably destroyed by an earthquake. Nevertheless as you arrive on this wonderful, historic island, you may just be able to imagine this statue of the Greek sun-god Helios in 280BC, standing 100 feet tall in celebration of Rhodes' victory over Cyprus. The largest of the Dodecanese islands, Rhodes has a compelling back story and there are still remnants of its occupation by the Knights of St John during the Crusades. So while the Colossus may not be there, you will be wowed by the many historical sites. We travel first to Lindos, about 55km from Rhodes Town and high above the village sits the impressive Acropolis of Lindos with the Doric Temple of Athena, built in 300 BC. Captains' mansions constructed between the 16th and 18th centuries are dotted here and there and in the heart of Lindos is the Church of the Virgin Mary with lovely frescoes from the 15th Century. Back in Rhodes is where we are really immersed in the history of the island in the Knights' Quarter. We stroll through Gate d'Amboise to walk along the Street of the Knights and see where they lived, separated according to Order, their crests still visible today. We will also see (outside) the imposing Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes, a medieval castle also known as the Kastello. It's one of the few examples of Gothic architecture in Greece. The Byzantine citadel was built in the 7th Century, the palace itself in the fourteenth. Where the palace sits today could well have been the spot where once stood the Colossus according to recent studies. Either way, this tour takes us into the heart of the fascinating history of Rhodes. Gate d'Amboise Acropolis of Lindos ACROPOLIS OF LINDOS AND THE CITADEL OF THE KNIGHTS 23 RHODES EXCURSIONS CHILD €59 ADULT €79
Duration: Half day Tour code: RHO - 02 Our tour begins at the Acropolis of Rhodes, just outside the city. It dates from the Classical Greek period and sits proudly on the hill of St Stephanos. We wander through the ruins of the Hellenistic Temple of Apollo with its impressive columns. Below is the restored Ancient Stadium of Diagoras and theatre. The stadium once hosted games in tribute to the sun-god Helios. We then head for Philerimos, one of the great tourist attractions of the island. The beautiful Monastery of Panagia Philerimos is located on a hill above Ialyssos, one of the three Rhodian cities that participated in the Trojan War. The Monastery, accessed by stone steps surrounded by Cypress trees, is dedicated to the Virgin Mary the Life-Giving Source and unusually is Gothic in style. It was built in the 15th Century by the Knights of St John. We also take time to visit the Byzantine Church of St George Hostos with its rare frescoes depicting the Knights. Philerimos is also home to the 'Golgotha' a series of copper reliefs depicting the Passion of Christ. We return to the capital Rhodes to learn more about the Knights, where they lived and how they were the last bastion of Christianity in a region dominated by the Ottomans who eventually captured the island in 1522. In the Knights' Quarter we visit the magnificent Palace of the Grandmaster also known at the Kastello. This too was built in Gothic style. This is one of the most atmospheric and intriguing areas of Rhodes, where we delve into the very heart and soul of its history.

Duration: Half day Tour code: RHO - 11 Sometimes the best way of immersing yourself completely in the history and atmosphere of a place is to explore on foot. That's exactly what we do on this fascinating tour where we get to the very heart of Medieval Rhodes and the compelling story of the Knights of St John of Jerusalem. We begin along the Street of the Knights in the Old City. It's one the best preserved medieval thoroughfares anywhere. We will see the buildings that were home to the Knights, ranked by Order with the crests still in place today. The purpose of the Knights originally was to provide medical care for wounded crusaders but they soon became a military order and fought off attempts by the Ottomans to capture Rhodes (which they did eventually). The head of the Order was the Grand Master. We visit the splendid Palace of the Grand Master, the focal point and most important site of the Knights' Quarter. This magnificent structure is also called the Kastello is a fine example of Gothic architecture. The Byzantine citadel was constructed in the 7th Century, the palace itself in the 14th Century. Where the palace sits today might have been the spot where once stood the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Our tour also takes in the Mosque of Suleiman the Magnificent, Turkish Baths, the Hospital of the Knights and the Church of Our Lady of the Castle, which has stood guard since the 11th Century.

Duration: Half day - JUNE & JULY ONLY Tour code: RHO - 06 After all that has happened in the past two years, you may just want to find a little corner complete and utter tranquillity, away from the noise, chaos and confusion of the world. Somewhere totally at peace with itself. We can help you with that. We have found such a place and would love to share it with you. Join us in the beautiful and beautifully named Valley of the Butterflies. An oasis of calm, Butterfly Valley or Petaloudes is a lush green valley, with a little river coursing through it. There are little wooden bridges, stone steps and a path which leads to the Monastery of the Virgin of Kalopetra, built in 1784. Each year in this unique natural park from June to July, thousands of multi coloured butterflies appear. They live attached to the tree trunks, living from the sap, then laying their eggs and multiplying. The valley is a wonderful place to walk in, under the shade of the trees.The distinctive scent of the pine resin, which attracts the butterflies and the coolness from the abundantly flowing waters, make this a paradise that will live long in your memory. This excursion will first transport us back in time to Ancient Greece and the absorbing history of once powerful Kameiros. On the northwest coast around 50km from Rhodes Town, the settlement of Kameiros in the 5th century BC formed with Lindos and Ialyssos, the city-state of Rhodes. Today, just a few remains still stand. It was founded by the Dorians in the prehistoric times and built on three levels. On top of the hill was the Acropolis with the temple of the goddess Athena Kameiras. In the 6th century BC, a reservoir was built to provide water for the 400 families. Around this reservoir, the inhabitants constructed a stoa with two rooms of Doric columns. The main settlement was built around the Acropolis and the lower level consisted of a Doric temple dedicated to Apollo and the Agora, where the political issues of the day were discussed. It's a fascinating insight into the life of the Ancient Greeks. BEAUTY OF BUTTERFLIES AND ANCIENT KAMEIROS Kamiros Butterfly Valley 26 RHODES EXCURSIONS CHILD €69 ADULT €89

The crystal clear waters here make swimming and bathing a real pleasure. The beach is 800m long and situated between two impressive cliffs.

It's extraordinary beautiful, distinctive, colourful and elaborate and was considered to be a gift worthy of dedication to the Gods. And it represents an important record to help us understand the different periods of Ancient Greek life. There were four major pottery styles in Ancient Greece, red figure and black figure, Corinthian and geometric. The ancient Greeks used ceramic vessels in every aspect of their daily lives, for storage, carrying, mixing, serving, and drinking, and as cosmetic and perfume containers. Today pottery plays a big role in the souvenir industry. This tour gives us a fascinating insight into this key aspect of Greek history. Rhodes has long been known is known for its tradition in pottery and ceramics. Records show how clay bricks from Rhodes were used in the construction of the dome of the magnificent Hagia Sofia Byzantine church in Istanbul. We head to the north side of the island enjoying the panoramic views of the sweeping Rhodian countryside. At the Bonis Ceramic Factory we find out about the various techniques adopted in pottery making. After a demonstration from one of the craftsmen, you will be invited to enhance your pottery skills and gain a very good hands-on understanding of the various techniques in order to help you make your own ceramic item. It will be shipped back to you. After your hard work you will have earned some refreshing ouzo and Greek meze at the factory showroom before we head back to Rhodes Town.

30 Knossos Palace HERAKLION EXCURSIONS
Duration: Half day Tour code: HER - 02 The ancient city of Knossos, near Crete's capital Heraklion, was the place that 'gave birth' to the very first civilisation of Europe, the Minoans. So we can say with some certainty it is Europe's oldest city. Our excursion will open up the world of the Minoans as we visit one of the continent's most important archaeological treasures. The first excavations were undertaken in the 1870s by Minos Kalokairinos, a Cretan himself. A few decades later in the early 1900s, more work by Sir Arthur Evans from Britain brought to the world's attention the full impressive scale of the Palace of Knossos, according to legend the residence of wise King Minos. We will be able to explore the large Central Court, the wonderful Throne Room, the imposing Grand Staircase and see the fresco of the 'Prince of the Lilies.' As you stroll through the palace apartments and view the archaeological finds, we think you will be just a little in awe of the rich cultural heritage of the Minoan civilisation. You will undoubtedly hear the Cretan legend of the Minotaur, half man, half bull who lived in the Labyrinth and was slain by Theseus. But that's another story. Exploring from room to room we will relive time in the Hall of the Royal Guard and the King's Chamber, hearing about the extraordinary rule of King Minos.

Heraklion Duration: Half day Tour code: HER - 07 Crete is Greece's largest island and the birthplace of Zeus according to mythology. Our tour enables us to find out more of the important period of Venetian rule and explore the jewels in the crown of the capital Heraklion's wonderful structures including the 'Koules' fortress, Venetian Loggia, Basilica of St Mark, medieval monastery of St Catherine and the Cathedral of Agios Minas. The Venetian Loggia is an especially eye-catching and beautiful structure that still functions as the Town Hall of Heraklion. It was built in 1620 and was a place for Venetian nobleman to gather. The fortifications of Heraklion surround the old city. They were first constructed in the Middle Ages but they were completely rebuilt by the Republic of Venice and resisted the Ottoman Turkish forces for 22 years in the 1600s. They are among the best preserved city walls in the Mediterranean. The ancient city of Knossos, near the capital Heraklion, was the place that 'gave birth' to the very first civilisation of Europe, the Minoans. So we can probably say it's Europe oldest city. We can really feel the sense of history and understand some of the myths and legends of Ancient Greece here in Heraklion. We also learn about some of Crete's leading figures, including Nobel Prize winning poet Odysseas Elytis, the painter El Greco and the writer Nikos Kazantzakis. 32 We end at the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion to find out more of the background to the history and culture of Crete.

We pass through Episkopi and Sgourokefali before arriving at the traditional village of Stironas. Here you take a deep breath, enjoy the fresh mountain air and take in the majestic view at 550 metres above sea level. Stironas is made up of traditional stone buildings arranged amphitheatrically looking towards the mountains. You will see how the Cretans lived centuries ago. We also visit a botanical parterre, home to various aromatic and medicinal herbs from the mountains of Crete. There will be the opportunity for a little wine tasting - wine has been in Crete since the Minoans, so the locals have a bit of experience in the matter. We visit a raki distiller and sample the product straight from the barrels in his cellar. After finding out more about production and bottling there will be a Cretan meze to enjoy with pure local olive oil and traditional dancers performing for their guests. You will have imbibed the true flavour of countryside life for a few hours. We head back to historic Heraklion which was founded in 824 and learn about some of its key historic figures and the jewels in the crown of its wonderful structures including the 'Koules' fortress, Venetian Loggia, Basilica of St Mark, medieval monastery of St Catherine and the Cathedral of Agios Minas.

The ancient city of Knossos 'gave birth' to the very first civilisation of Europe, the Minoans. The Minotaur, half man, half bull lived in the Labyrinth and was slain by Theseus. But that's another story, one of many. Cretan food is renowned across the globe as the original Mediterranean Diet, perhaps the world's healthiest, abundant in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and olive oil. It features fish and poultry - lean sources of protein - over red meat.

36 Oia Village SANTORINI EXCURSIONS
37 Duration: Half day Tour code: SAN - 01 If you are a first time visitor to Santorini she will take your breath away. And even if you are a regular visitor, with her soaring landscapes and whitewashed houses she will still do that every time. She is regularly described as one of the most beautiful places on the planet. There are plenty of magic moments on our excursion. One of the greatest spectacles is Oia village perched on the rim of the Caldera, the remains of a volcanic eruption. Santorini is a ring of rock around the sea. Think of it as the rim of an old volcano. First we head to Megalochori, one of the most authentic and unspoiled villages on the island, retaining its distinctive architecture, character and charm. Our trip continues eastwards through a number of traditional communities like Firostefani and Imerovigli until we arrive at Oia. On our journey we will have had the lace-like caldera to our west, the little islands of Thirasia, Palea and Nea Kameni and an incredible, unsurpassable panoramic view. There is plenty of time in Oia to explore, stroll the marble-paved alleys, visit the adorable shops and capture the moments on camera. Admire the traditional buildings carved into the rocks and the unusual captain's manors, the settlement of Ammoudi at the foot of the caldera. SPECTACULAR OIA VILLAGE PERCHED ON THE CALDERA RIM Bell tower at Megalochori Village Oia Village Ammoudi Bay SANTORINI EXCURSIONS CHILD €59 ADULT €79
38 Duration: Half day Tour code: SAN - 02 This trip is a must for those who want to acquaint themselves just a little better with the islands fringing the caldera, the volcanic remnants. A small boat will take us first to Nea Kameni. Its geology resembles a lunar landscape. We walk up the verge of the crater, the heart of the volcano and its an experience that should fill you with awe. The beaches of Nea Kameni are embraced by thermal springs. Our next stop on this special excursion is Palea Kameni with its therapeutic warm waters. The sea temperature here is five degrees higher than elsewhere and the green-yellow water contains sulphur. After our trip to the volcano we have a change of pace as we visit the energetic Fira, the island's main town, for a stroll around, a quiet drink or simply the chance to soak up the atmosphere. We descend by funicular (ticket included in the excursion) to the Old Port for the transfer back to the ship. Tour may not be available at certain times of the year. CRUISE TO SANTORINI'S ISLANDS AND VOLCANOES Fira Nea Kameni Nea Kameni SANTORINI EXCURSIONS CHILD €59 ADULT €79
39 Duration: Half day Tour code: SAN - 08 Modern day Santorini has been shaped quite literally by one event in ancient history. In 1650 BC the huge volcano Thira erupted, sinking the centre of the island then known as Strongyle and leaving behind an incredible caldera. And it is on that small, circular, remnant that Santorini now sits, about 200 miles from the Greek mainland. The municipality includes the inhabited islands of Santorini and Therasia and the uninhabited ones of Nea Kameni, Palea Kameni, Aspronisi and Christiana. The soaring landscapes that give Santorini its unique look were formed by the eruption and you will almost certainly gaze in awe as you journey on a tender boat to the port of Athina to head for Santorini's most important archaeological site, the village of Akrotiri. On the way we make a brief stop at the ruins of the island's famous windmill and take in the wonderful view. The settlement of Akrotiri was destroyed in the eruption and buried in volcanic ash which preserved many of its buildings, structures and fine frescoes. The site has been excavated since the 1960s. You will find a place held in time and it is an incredible experience. It has been suggested Akrotiri could have been the inspiration for Plato's story of Atlantis, but there are numerous other places vying for that honour. After Akrotiri we head for the capital Fira, the island's largest town, to visit the Orthodox Metropolitan Cathedral, also known as the Church of Ypapantis. It is famed for its elegance and beautiful frescos painted by Santorini artist Christoforus Assimis. We have time to linger in Fira for shopping, a stroll or a relaxing coffee before making our way back to the tender boats by way of the teleferik, the Santorini Cable Car. It's an impressive descent of more than 200 metres to the blue waters of the caldera at the harbour side. Tour may not be available at certain times of the year.

And getting closer to nature on Perissa Beach is easy! Simply paddle in the deep blue and clear waters and gaze at the gigantic Mesa Vouno mountain that seems to climb from the sea. You can hire a sun lounger to bask in the sun or find a shady spot at one of the many cafes and bars that border the sandy stretch. If you're looking for your next thrill, hire watersports equipment and paddle out into the deep blue, or explore the shallows as you swim in the clean waters that have earned Blue Flag awards over the years. Cost of the facilities at the beach is not included in the price of the excursion. TRANSFER TO PERISSA BEACH Perissa Beach 40 SANTORINI EXCURSIONS SOLD ONLY ON BOARD

You may not know which way to point your camera or smart phone because the vista is overwhelming whichever way you look. But perhaps don't worry about taking pictures, at least not yet. Just gaze in awe.... Live in the moment. If ever there a time for mindfulness, surely this is it. This could be you at Pyrgos, a charming village that once served as the capital of Santorini. On a walking tour explore the traditional Cyladic architecture that gives Santorini its unique look and feel. Strolll through the remains of a Venetian fortress and see the historical 18th century monastery of Profitis Ilias (Prophet Elias) one of the oldest on the island. It is closed to the public but remains home to one solitary monk and this vantage point offers the most spectacular views over the island. At Venetsanos Winery, the oldest winery on the island, savour a variety of extraordinary, authentic local vintages. Then at the Avanti Winery, enjoy a range of varietals, learning of the island's unique viticulture, which produces some of the crispest whites and seductively sweet wines in the Mediterranean.

Watch: Michel Gondry's Relentlessly Mercurial Creative Mind
https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/mRgAtG1F-720.mp4
Michel Gondry is a French filmmaker most famous for directing and co-writing the 2004 film 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' for which he, Charlie Kaufman, and Pierre Bismuth won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Prior to his feature film debut titled 'Human Nature,' he made a name for himself as a music video director—working with such artists as Daft Punk, The Chemical Brothers, Bjork, and The White Stripes. He often incorporates his personal thoughts and fears from his childhood into his work—most notably, a recurring nightmare in which his hands grow to an enormous size.
Gondry actually got his start as a music video director after making music videos for his own band called Oui Oui—he was the drummer. Icelandic singer Bjork noticed his work and hired him to direct the music video for her song 'Human Behavior.' He has also directed a variety of television commercials and one he made for Levi's holds the Guinness World Record for 'most awards won by a TV commercial.' His style most resembles that of a creative child. Everything is inventive and crafty—with practical effects and production design often made from ordinary materials. And this mise-en-scène always fits the narrative of his films, which often follow creative and child-like protagonists. Gondry has described himself as someone who has been twelve years old 'forever.'
Two years after directing 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,' Gondry directed the first film he wrote entirely himself titled 'The Science of Sleep,' which follows a quirky young man who falls in love with his neighbor. The film plays heavily with dreamlike imagery, which Gondry has had a strong interest in since his early work. After 'The Science of Sleep,' he wrote and directed the Jack Black/Mos Def comedy 'Be Kind Rewind.' The film wholly incorporated his hand-made budgetless aesthetic, which ignores imperfections in favor of creative solutions. In 'Be Kind Rewind,' a video store clerk and his friend must remake or 'swede' all of the movies they carry after the tapes get erased. They go on to remake the movies using whatever they have on hand, much in the same way children might creatively play around with a video camera. With the era of YouTube in full swing, people from around the world were encouraged to express their creativity and 'swede' their favorite movies in short form with whatever materials they had. This included a remake of 'Taxi Driver' by Gondry himself.
Gondry followed 'Be Kind Rewind' with 2011's 'The Green Hornet,' which was a slight departure from his low-budget aesthetic. 'The Green Hornet' applied Gondry's inventive charm to a more mainstream and high budget studio film. Gondry was originally attached to the project back in 1997 and the film was going to be his feature film debut. After the film entered 'development hell,' many other directors were attached and then removed until it finally ended back with Gondry as the director.
He returned to the low-budget indie world the following year with 'The We and the I,' a film that takes place entirely on a bus as students travel home from their last day of high school. The film was an American production shot in New York City, but he would return to France for his next two films—the first of which was an adaptation of a 1947 novel— 'Froth on the Daydream' by Boris Vian. The film is titled 'Mood Indigo' and follows the relationship of a couple as they fall in love and the woman falls ill. The film is tremendously clever and whimsical, despite such an ultimately tragic story.
Gondry has also done three documentaries—'Dave Chappelle's Block Party,' 'The Thorn in the Heart,' and his most recent, 'Is the Man Who is Tall Happy?' in which Gondry animates a conversation he had with notable philosopher Noam Chomsky. His latest film titled 'Microbe & Gasoline' for which Gondry was the sole writer, follows two young boys who build a house/car hybrid to travel away from their hometown and all the people who mistreat them. Gondry said that the first half of the film is based on his actual experiences growing up and the second half is a fantasy. The film perfectly mixes Gondry's unique personality and creativity and sheds light on his personal perspective.
"I really had the complex that my father had at some point— to not be good enough. And then I decided I would go for it. I decided I would be as good as Picasso or whatever and obviously there is a difference. But, I mean, at some point, if you want to consider yourself as somebody who creates things, you have to just ignore all that and just say okay, what you're doing, what you're putting out is different because you put yourself into it."

Were you always interested in wellness and health?
As a little girl, I went through some phases. I wanted to be an astronaut for a while. I wanted to be a doctor. I was always curious about nature and how things worked. I was lucky to live in on 52 acres of beautiful woodland, eat from my mother's garden and have homemade bread. In my teens, my interest lay in biology and especially human systems. I began to have a strong desire to help other people that continued to grow into young adulthood. I decided to become a nurse as a way to be a part of the "whole person" healing process.
What has influenced you in your current wellness habits?
I've always felt that if I'm going to have a career in health and wellness, I need to walk the talk. Many of the habits I have were born of wanting to try new ways of being healthy and then model them in the world. I've also felt that as far as I know, this is the only life I'm getting, and I want it to be the best it can be. Making healthy choices keeps me going and able to use my potential.
What personal experience do you bring to your coaching practice?
Like everyone else in the world, my life has been a mixture of ups and downs. Along the way, I met various people who have helped me to gain insight and solve challenges. I think of them as my teachers. I can't imagine getting through it all without help, and I want to be a help for someone else. I also had a tennis coach who embodied many of the skills I've learned in coaching health. She encouraged me to do my best, and she was an excellent resource for me in learning tennis and sometimes about life.
I have worked as a nurse, then a family nurse practitioner for over 30 years. I have always used a "whole person" approach to patient care. Working with thousands of patients over the years, and watching their successes and struggles, has given me a deep respect for the journey toward wellness.
We're very fortunate to have a brain that is capable of re-wiring. We can make intentional choices around how we think and view the world. We have the ability to create new ways of being even if our life situation doesn't change.

It is enjoyable when you don't do so well and still win: Dhoni
Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni on Sunday said his team did not play well enough but it was "enjoyable" to still end on the winning side against Kolkata Knight Riders.

Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni on Sunday said his team did not play well enough but it was "enjoyable" to still end on the winning side against Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League (IPL) here.
With three wins in as many games since IPL resumption, CSK has put its one foot in the playoffs.
"It's a nice victory to have. At times you play good cricket and you lose. It is enjoyable when you don't do so well and still win. It was good cricket from both sides, and a pleasure for the spectators," said Dhoni at the post-match presentation.
READ : Chennai Super Kings edges past Kolkata Knight Riders by two wickets in last-ball thriller
KKR made 171/6 and CSK chased down the target off the last ball.
"We bowled well in patches. It's not easy for the fast bowlers. We tried to give them short spells. 170 was a par score, I felt. When Jadeja was bowling, it was coming on and not stopping. The way we started, KKR deserve some applause for making a game out of it.
"We were also worried about how the wicket will be. When you keep playing on a wicket, groundsmen sometimes water it more and leave some more grass," Dhoni said.
CSK has now won six games in a row in the UAE.
"The important thing was to make the most of what we had learnt and to come back stronger," added Dhoni.
Player of the match Ravindra Jadeja, who struck 22 off eight balls towards the end, said it is tough to perform in the shortest format after playing weeks of Test cricket.

"It is difficult. After you have played five-day cricket and then to come to white-ball cricket, I was working on my bat swing. I wanted to repeat whatever I was doing. The runs in the second-last over turned out to be the match-winning over for us.
"But Rutu (Ruturaj Gaikwad) and Faf (Faf du Plessis) gave us a good start. You need to be collective as a unit, whether with bat or ball. I was just backing my strength. He was bowling with fine leg and square leg up. I thought he would bowl full outside off, and slow short ball. I thought he would give one ball up, and luckily I connected well," added Jadeja.
KKR skipper Eoin Morgan said his team did the best it could.
"Both sides batted well. Both bowled really well. Can't fault anything from our side. The second half of the tournament has been a lot of positives for our side. We just have to give ourselves the best chance. The whole tournament has an abundance of top-class international cricketers. Some of the local Indian guys haven't even been capped yet. When Jadeja plays like that, similar to Sam Curran for England, I don't think there's a lot to do," he said.

Early Review: Goddess Interrupted by Aimee Carter
Goddess Interrupted by Aimee Carter
The Goddess Test #2
Kate Winters has won immortality.
But if she wants a life in the Underworld with Henry, she'll have to fight for it.
Becoming immortal wasn't supposed to be the easy part. Though Kate is about to be crowned Queen of the Underworld, she's as isolated as ever. And despite her growing love for Henry, ruler of the Underworld, he's becoming ever more distant and secretive. Then, in the midst of Kate's coronation, Henry is abducted by the only being powerful enough to kill him: the King of the Titans.
As the other gods prepare for a war that could end them all, it is up to Kate to save Henry from the depths of Tartarus. But in order to navigate the endless caverns of the Underworld, Kate must enlist the help of the one person who is the greatest threat to her future.
Henry's first wife, Persephone.
Kate thought life would get easier now that she has faced her trials and won her immortality, but that couldn't be further from the truth. As she returns from her six month hiatus from the underworld she expects Henry to be as excited to see her as she is him, but he is cold and distant. Even so, she decides to continue on with the ceremony to make her queen, but Henry is abducted by the king of the Titans, Chronus, before they have a chance to finish. While the other gods are focused on finding a way to stop Chronus in his tracks, Kate knows she is Henry's only chance. She won't give up on him even if it means seeking out her biggest rival, the woman Henry still loves, Persephone.
It never ceases to amaze me just how amazing Kate is. Her integrity is nothing short of admirable as she never once gives up even when it seems like all hope is lost. At the drop of a hat she was willing to sacrifice herself for the people she cares the most about. I honestly do not think she possibly could have been more selfless. The only thing she ever seemed to want for herself was Henry's love, but who could blame her for that? With everything and everyone coming at her from all sides, she never once falters and manages to keep her head held high, no matter how painful it may be. Its a shame the rest of the gods couldn't come close to her level of integrity and selflessness. Perhaps they wouldn't have been in the nasty situation with Chronus if they had.
I was an emotional wreck the entire time while reading Goddess Interrupted, mostly passing between extreme anger, and sadness. Nothing affects me more than heartache. Even a hint of a potential emotional turmoil in the love department will cause me to tear up. I was more than a little frustrated with Kate and Henry's relationship or rather the lack there of. In the first book I had a hard time getting attached to the two of them as a couple, but I had the opposite problem while reading Goddess Interrupted. I felt so invested and emotionally attached to all of it, that everything cut me to the quick. I was so blind with anger towards Henry for his behavior and more than a little confused at Kate's determination to hold onto the relationship despite her extreme insecurities. However, I think a lot of that frustration stemmed from the fact that I knew most of their problems were due to a lack of communication, yet neither one could seem to see that. Then you add in the mess with Persephone (Who I have very mixed feelings about.) and everything just spelled disaster which left me feeling devastated more often than not.
I don't want to spoil anything, but I do want to put a word of warning out, as Goddess Interrupted has a cliffhanger ending that literally made me sick to my stomach. In all of the books I have read, and trust me, that number is quite hefty, I can only think of one other cliffhanger that killed me as much. Do I regret reading Goddess Interrupted? No. However, the wait for the final installment will be nothing short of agonizing. I both loathe and praise Aimee Carter for having the chutzpah to leave things hanging like this. Then again, my devastation shows just how attached I have become to the characters, so I will keep my grumbling to a minimum. All in all my socks were blown off by the depth of raw emotion Goddess Interrupted elicited, earning it a definite two thumbs up.

"Calling a dog's tail a leg does not make it a leg": Big court loss for FedEx
September 15th, 2014 by Julie Ferguson
Over the years, we've devoted a few dozen posts to the issue of FedEx and its drivers. Here's the issue in a nutshell: FedEx thinks its Ground drivers are independent contractors and the drivers generally disagree.
For the eleven years we've been blogging, this issue has been wending its way through state courts, with a win for the company here, a win for the drivers there. On August 27, FedEx suffered a massive one-two punch at hands of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, who overturned a lower court's decision in Alexander v. FedEx, ruling that 2,300 drivers were indeed employees. Within a few days, the same court ruled that some 360 Oregon drivers were also employees (Slayman v. FedEx.) In making the ruling, the Court found that when the rubber hit the road, the lower court had overstated the entrepreneurial opportunities factor that benefited the so-called independent contractors. It apparently wasn't enough of a benefit to sway the court.
To paraphrase our illustrious VP, "…this is a big effing deal."
Contractors and small business are being chased down aggressively by state authorities (and rightly so, we think) to make them shoulder responsibility for employment obligations that other businesses carry. But in the land of the giant employers, many use independent contractor and subcontractor mechanisms to shield themselves from workers comp, Social Security, unemployment insurance, the provision of benefits like healthcare and paid vacation, and the obligation to protect workers in a variety of ways.
For your further edification on this important issue, we defer to business and legal experts. We've gathered opinions and analyses from a variety of sources and offer excerpts.
What court rulings against FedEx mean for workers
"It seems likely FedEx will want to appeal the 9th Circuit decisions to the Supreme Court. But it may face some difficulty in doing so, because — even though made at the federal level — the two decisions concern matters of state law rather than federal. Their reach is similarly limited; they apply only to FedEx drivers in California and Oregon. But there's a decent chance the 9th Circuit's decisions will influence future decisions in other jurisdictions. At the very least, they are shining more light on corporations' maddening reluctance to take responsibility for the folks who represent them most directly to the public."
FedEx Latest Company Slammed Over 'Independent' Employees
"What the 9th Circuit did was to apply the more traditional measure. Judge Stephen Trott, a Reagan appointee in a concurring opinion, quoted Abraham Lincoln: "'If you call a dog's tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have?' His answer was, 'Four. Calling a dog's tail a leg does not make it a leg.'" Trott also admonished FedEx for presenting some information out of context and told the company's lawyers that they "would be well advised not to elide the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth."
Reagan Appointee 'Unravels FedEx's Business Model' In Court Ruling
"FedEx is largely credited with having pioneered the "independent contractor" work model in the logistics industry. Under this system, workers function as self-employed drivers with their own routes, covering the costs of their own trucks, gasoline, uniforms and so forth.
While corporations claim the contractor system gives drivers flexibility and strong incentives as "small businesses," critics say it's simply a way to shift the costs of employment onto workers and avoid payroll taxes and workers'-compensation costs.
The basic question in lawsuits involving the independent contractor model is whether or not a company like FedEx still maintains control over the work itself. In Wednesday's ruling, the judges asserted that it does."
Employment Law Summer Recap 2014: Part 1 of 11 – FedEx sings Nico & Vinz's "Am I Wrong"…to Classify Our Drivers as Independent Contractors?
"The decision will likely upend FedEx's driver business model in part because it makes it more expensive for FedEx to operate its business – an added expense that we can expect it will pass along to us, the consumers. Why more expensive? Because, among other things, FedEx will now have to (i) make the required employer contributions on behalf of these individuals (i.e. to Social Security and unemployment benefit funds); (ii) take out new insurance policies (i.e. for workers' compensation insurance); (iii) offer them health insurance and (possibly) pension benefits along with other benefits like paid vacation; (iv) incur the administrative and operational costs associated with treating these individuals as employees (i.e. additional training and development, compliance, etc.); and (v) potentially pay them back for millions in lost wages. Further, these individuals can now sue FedEx under many of the employment laws that did not previously cover them (i.e. Title VII) – yet another potential expense for FedEx."
Who's the Boss
"It has become harder and harder for workers to tell who their employer is. Companies have engaged in vertical dis-integration as franchised businesses have become increasingly prominent and contracting out of operations by traditional firms has increased. The expanded reach of private equity funds as owners of Main Street companies has also undermined the traditional employment relationship.
In both cases, a complex web of legally distinct entities has been put in place whose aim is to separate a business's actual owners and managers from responsibility for the effects of their decisions on workers."
'Seismic' 9th Cir. rulings nix FedEx claim its drivers aren't employees, could cost company millions
"By retaining independent contractors to perform work instead of employees, companies can potentially save a lot of money that would go toward overtime pay and other benefits such as social security. FedEx also has reportedly required its drivers to pay for their own uniforms and trucks. But if companies are determined to have misclassified employees as independent contractors, they can wind up paying not only the original employee costs they avoided but substantial penalties, as an earlier ABAJournal.com post about the FedEx litigation details."
Is this the end of the independent contractor as we know it?
"This case also confirms that if you exercise any control over how workers perform services for you, it is likely that they should be classified as employees, not independent contractors. This distinction is important, because, unlike contractors, employee are subject to a host of employment laws, including the anti-discrimination laws, workers' comp laws, and wage-and-hour (minimum wage and overtime) laws.
While this case only covers employers governed by California law in the 9th Circuit, I would expect the filing of copycat lawsuits under the laws of different states in different courts. In other words, this case is not the final word on this issue. Thus, to answer the specific question I posed in the title to this post, while this case does not necessarily spell the end of the independent contractor, it very well could be the beginning of trend of cases leading down this path."
FedEx Refuses to Treat Your Friendly Delivery Guy Like a Real Employee And an important new court ruling could change that
"This is a classic example of employee misclassification, but such employer malfeasance is not limited to FedEx. It's a nationwide problem that shifts significant costs to workers, eliminates employment-related protections, deprives the government of billions of dollars in revenue and prevents workers from unionizing. On Wednesday, labor earned a big victory when the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in two cases that the shipping company misclassified the employment status of 2,300 California drivers and 363 Oregon drivers. It's an important, if limited, step towards rectifying this widespread problem."
Court rejects FedEx Ground's driver business model
"Ross said that FedEx now requires its contractors based in California to hire a secondary workforce of FedEx drivers, who do the same work as the plaintiffs under the same contract. She said the Alexander decision "calls into question FedEx's strategy of making plaintiffs the middle men" between the secondary workforce of drivers and FedEx. "We have heard of many instances where the secondary drivers are earning such low wages that they have to rely on public assistance to make ends meet."
