Greek Islands Cruises

The Greek Islands encompass a range of spectacular landscapes, and a fascinating history laced with legend.  Mountains, forested valleys, olive groves, small villages clinging to hillsides and clear turquoise seas are a winning combination for a refreshing island-hopping holiday.

We offer a wide choice of cruise itineraries on a variety of ships, including small luxury vessels, larger resort ships, tall sailing ships, and gulets. 

In Athens visit the Acropolis, the Dyonisos Theatre, the Agora and much more. Its harbour of Piraeus south of the city is the base for ferries and the Cycladic Pearls cruise.

The 200 islands of the Cyclades circle the sacred island of Delos.  Fashionable Mykonos is renowned for its windmills, Paros for its wild spring flowers, and the volcanic island of Santorini, with its houses perched on the cliffs, is the scene of many postcards and views of Greece.

In the northerly Sporades Islands are Skiathos, with over 70 beaches and a rugged coast, and the vineyards and mountains of Skopelos where Mamma Mia was filmed. 

In the Dodecanese Islands, visit Patmos with the pretty harbour town of Skala and the Cave of the Apocalypse where St John wrote the Book of Revelation. The larger island of Rhodes has a unique walled old town set around its harbour. Picturesque Symi, set around a superb natural harbour with classical style houses under a barren rocky hillside, and the popular tourist destination of Kos are also visited.

Further south is the very mountainous island of Crete, the fifth largest in the Mediterranean and great walking territory, criss-crossed with donkey trails. Visitors are drawn by the dramatic landscape and the famous Minoan Palace of Knossos.

Around the Peloponnese Peninsula, the Ionian islands include Zakynthos, well-known for Shipwreck Bay and popular with divers; and Corfu, famous for its beaches and landscapes and offering a blend of Italian and Greek cultural heritage with stunning classical architecture.

Some Greek Island Cruises include calls to the Turkish port of Kusadasi for visits to the impressive remains of Ephesus, and further north, to the exotic city of Istanbul. On mainland Greece, calls to Katakolon are an opportunity to see the equally impressive remains of Olympia.

Greek Island cruises may also take in the atmospheric island of Sicily, the Italian Riviera and the Croatian coast and islands.
