Fascinating archaeological treasures, sunny beaches, crystal-blue water, and much more await you on this marvelous Greece cruise tour.

Your tour starts and ends in Athens and includes guided sightseeing with an expert Local Guide. Among the sights you will see, you’ll visit the Acropolis, located on a rocky promontory and dating to the 5th century BC. Then enjoy the highlight of your vacation, a 7-night cruise on the Aegean Sea cruising to some of the world’s most beautiful islands. In Turkey, you’ll visit Istanbul and Kusadasi, on the Turkish coast, where you’ll enjoy the white-sand beaches and shopping in the covered bazaar, or perhaps join an optional excursion to ancient Ephesus, with its fascinating Greek, Roman, and Byzantine excavations.

Cruise to Santorini (weather permitting), still an active volcano offering one of the world’s most breathtaking panoramas, where you’ll see bright white buildings and cliffs rising from the Aegean Sea—one of Greece’s most beautiful spots. Also cruise to Agios Nicholaos on Crete; Rhodes, with one of Europe’s largest medieval towns; Symi, with its stunning harbor and scenic traditional village; and Chios, with its beautiful beaches and fortified villages. Your final island is Mykonos, Greece’s jet-set island with its seafront village, sandy beaches, and whitewash houses. Wander through the picturesque alleys and narrow streets; take photos of the windmills that overlook the embankment; relax at a waterfront café; and watch for the official mascot of Mykonos, a pelican.

When not on an island, enjoy the ship’s many amenities. Sunbathe, sip a cool drink, splash in the pool, and relax. The Greek Islands are calling you, and now is your chance to experience their beauty and fascinating histories. Stunning scenery, ancient monuments, and the chance to immerse yourself in the beautiful Greek Islands…this Greece cruise tour is a dream vacation!
