Cruise Description
Discover Hidden Gems on this Greek Islands Cruise
Go big and go Greek on this unforgettable country-intensive voyage. Starting in Athens, travel back into medieval times in Monemvasia and explore Chania, with its Greek, Venetian, and Ottoman influences seemingly around every corner. On a late night in Santorini, stroll bustling streets and volcanic beaches, then pop over to picturesque Patmos before making for Mykonos and another late stay.
Wander through Ephesus—a fascinating excavated ancient city where over 250,000 people once lived. Spend the day cruising through the Dardanelles where memorials erected in honor of the fallen heroes from the Battle of Gallipoli dot the coastline. End your journey in enigmatic Istanbul, before departing for home.
