Greek Islands Cruises including Corfu, Rhodes, Symi, Santorini, Mykonos, Kos, Patmos, Kefalonia and Zakynthos - also Turkey

We offer five different types of cruise options around the Greek Islands.

Cruising in style on megayachts and motor sailers

These three cruises on smaller vessels which provide a balance between conventional cruising and private yachting. Harmony V and G are sleek modern motor yachts and MS Galileo is a modern, well equipped yet traditionally styled motor sailer.

On these cruises you will discover the wonders of Classical Greece, rich in history and culture, visiting new new ports of call and hidden coves every day.

Greek Island Highlights

The following are some of the places that may be visited - please see detailed cruise itineraries

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.

Mykonos is one of the most cosmopolitan of the Greek islands, perfectly preserved around its harbour.

The volcanic island of Santorini, with its houses perched on the cliffs, is the scene of many postcards and views of Greece.

The island of Rhodes has a unique walled old town set around its harbour, and along the coast is Lindos with its acropolis overlooking the village.

Symi is set around a superb natural harbour with classical style houses under a barren rocky hillside.

The Ionian island of Corfu is famous for its beaches and landscapes and offers a blend of Italian and Greek cultural heritage with stunning classical architecture.

The harbour of Kos is guarded by its castle, and nearby Kalymnos is famous for its sponge fishing heritage.

Kefalonia has spectacular scenery, and is the setting for the novel and film Captain Corelli’s Mandolin.

The smaller island of Ithaka is famous as the setting for Homer’s Odyssey.

 

Whichever cruise you choose you can be sure that you will experience the true character and atmosphere of Greece.
