Why cruise Greece?
Discover the destinations you could visit on your boutique cruise...
Heraklion
Named after Hercules, the capital of the Greek island of Crete has an extensive history stretching over 5,000 years. Heraklion plays host to the Palace of Knossos and the Heraklion Archaeological Museum – an unforgettable look into Crete’s past.
Katakolon
The laidback Greek seaside town of Katakolon is set around a pretty waterfront that is scattered with classic tavernas and a long beach. The town also provides the gateway to Ancient Olympia, the archaeological site where the Olympic Games took place for more than 1,100 years. Be transported back in time during your cruise to Greece’s islands as you walk in the footsteps of the Olympic contenders of the past among the ruins of temples and arenas.
Piraeus
Cruises to the Greek Isles that visit Athens drop anchor at Piraeus. Located in the Greater Athens area, around 7 miles from the city centre, Piraeus is the largest passenger port in Europe. From here the storied sites of the Greek capital are just a stone’s throw away, but the port town itself also includes a collection of interesting museums and tempting seafood restaurants.
Thessaloniki
Greece’s second largest city, Thessaloniki combines ancient attractions with vibrant seaside amenities. Its characterful upper town, known as Ano Poli, has retained influences of Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman rule, and offers a panoramic view across the city.
Top Greece cruise excursions
Join an optional excursion during a Greece cruise and really get to know these Mediterranean destinations.
Mykonos - The Sacred Island of Delos
Visit the island of Delos which, according to Greek mythology, boasts a civilisation dating back to the 3rd millennium BC and was the birthplace of Apollo, the god of light, and his sister Artemis, goddess of the moon.
Volos - Hilltop Monasteries of Meteora
Visit two hilltop monasteries on this scenic excursion. Depart the pier and enjoy a scenic drive through the plains of Thessaly to Kalambaka. Marvel at the dramatic scenery of Meteora, where medieval monasteries appear to float in midair. In the 14th century, Greek Orthodox monks believed the summits of these towering rock formations, rising from the surrounding plains, offered the ideal setting for peaceful isolation.
