Greece & Greek Islands Cruises

Discover Greece & the Greek Islands

With some 1,400 islands throughout the Aegean and Ionian seas, you'll experience turquoise seas, sun-kissed beaches and whitewashed houses on a Greek Islands cruise. The islands each have their own personality, they range from the party island of Mykonos to the grace and peace of Corfu and Rhodes. Visits to the Greek islands afford opportunities to relax on inviting warm sands, hike cobbled Byzantine footpaths and volcanic landscapes, spot incredible fauna such as dolphins and sea turtles, and cycle through lush forest.          [ReadMoreMob] [ReadMoreDesk]

No European cruise to Greece would be complete without a visit to ancient Athens. The Acropolis, the Temple of Zeus and the 5th-century B.C. Acropolis citadel with the Parthenon temple are amazing cinematic experiences. The dramatic grandeur of Delphi can be found in its ancient outdoor theatre and giant marble sculptures. And speaking of drama, the Corinth Canal, an extraordinary engineering feat, often belies the belief of those lucky enough to sail this remarkably narrow waterway.

Mediterranean diet

When it comes to food, a cruise to Greece is a cruise into Mediterranean gastronomy. Traditional mousakka, crumbling feta and kebabs abound, but also a vast range of fish straight from the sea and unfamiliar herbs and mountain greens demand trying, all to be washed down with the local's drink of choice, Ouzo.
