Are you fascinated by Greek mythology, blown away by ancient landmarks and in awe of traditional customs and culture? If so, our Classic Greece cruises are set to become your holiday of a lifetime.
This is an opportunity to leave your world behind and step back in time. It’s also a chance to cruise some of the most spectacular locations on earth from the luxurious comfort of one of our stunning boats.
Here, we look at what makes this sailing itinerary in Greece such a stand-out adventure. So, slip out of the daily grind and join us in the land of myths and legends for an unforgettable experience!
Walk In The Footsteps of Greek Gods
From Delos, the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, to Aphrodite’s island of Kythira, Greek mythology comes to life as you get to know these age-old lands. Wander around Mycenae, one of the earliest Greek civilisations founded as far back as 1650 BC (indeed, Homer wrote about Mycenae in 700 BC). The Gods may no longer be roaming among us, but the natural beauty that seduced them remains.
We recommend packing Stephen Fry’s Mythos into your suitcase. There’s nothing like a good holiday book to round off one’s imagination and spirit for adventure!
Explore Ancient Greek Landmarks
What’s an ancient Greece cruise without, well, plenty of antiquity?! Open-air museums, ancient monuments, relics as old as time… You will see so many awe-inspiring sights on this sailing trip that they risk becoming de rigueur. Yet, despite the abundance, the effect never gets old. We’re sure you’ll be picking your jaw up from the floor day in and day out.
Discover Charming Greek Islands and Ports
A classical Greece cruise doesn’t start and finish at the Acropolis. Prepare to be delighted by ports such as Coressa on the mountainous island of Kea and Rethymnon on Crete. We’ll also be stopping at the iconic Greek islands of Mykonos and Santorini for your fix of breathtaking white-washed buildings and turquoise water backdrops.
These shore excursions are a superb opportunity to indulge in famous Greek food and wine and soak up the good life. Why not order a cheeky glass of ouzo and a platter of fresh mezedes and watch the world go by for an afternoon?
Be Wowed by Historic Greek Architecture
Our ancient Greece cruise explores many stages throughout Greek history. For example, we visit the striking mainland mediaeval-fortified town of Monemvasia. This is a chance to discover uniquely preserved Byzantine and Venetian architecture and revel in its ageing beauty.
Soak Up The Aegean Sea and Sun
A classical Greece cruise has to stop for regular dips in the sea! The stunning beaches and spectacular-coloured water make it impossible to resist a dip (or several) as your holiday cruises along. Take advantage of the many sun decks on our boats to top up your tan, get some warmth into your bones and then cool off in those mesmerising waters.
Live The High Life Aboard Our Beautiful Greek Boats
There’s no roughing it at sea with our small ship Greek islands Cruises. Our deluxe boats and first-class boats are second to none and come with all the modern conveniences and luxurious amenities you expect. Restaurants with views looking out to sea, open-air bars, jacuzzis, sun decks, ensuites, and gyms… Whatever little luxury you’re after, we’re likely to have it on offer.
Remember, all our boats are owned by local families with generations of seafaring in their blood. Not only are they exceptional captains and crew, but their local knowledge is outstanding. If they don’t have the answer, nobody will!
