Cruising the Greek islands is the best way to get maximum views with minimum faff. Island-hopping can become stressful, lugging your suitcase from ferry to ferry and trying to get settled somewhere new every day or two. With a cruise you have a comfortable base which you can get to know and feel relaxed in, all while traveling throughout some of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful waters and stopping off at multiple destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re worried about accessing some of the smaller Greek islands when traveling on a cruise ship, then take a look at our 7-day Aegean cruise extension on our Best of Greece<\/a> tour. We’ve partnered with Celestyal, whose largest ship is still considered \u2018medium sized\u2019, meaning it\u2019s small enough to reach destinations and ports that other traditionally larger cruise ships cannot access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a cruise, your travel down isn’t lost time. Instead you can enjoy sun-soaked decks, take a dip in the pool and taste fresh and locally-sourced produce in the ship’s restaurants while you embark to your next destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
