An amazing alternative holiday experience in Greece is taking an eco cruise. Eco cruising is for anyone who wants to experience the sun, sea, nature and wildlife along with a splash of science. Here’s what awaits you on this unique experience of ‘cruising’ with dolphins and sea turtles.
What should you expect to gain for an eco cruise? The short answer, a lot. The main goal of eco cruising is to promote sustainable marine tourism, which means you are in for a real treat. The boats and groups are much smaller than what you will encounter on a typical cruise liner. Many times the boats are the traditional wooden ‘trehandiris’ that seat about 25 people. Also accompanying you on the trip is an environmentalist who will be your guide and go-to during your excursion, while frequently you might find a group of scientists accompanying the cruise.
You can be sure that during you exploration on the sparkling blue sea that you will tour the wetlands, discover remote islands, caves, rare birds and marine species, sea shell beaches, sea turtles and of course majestic dolphins.
How can you know that you won’t miss a moment? The cruise hooks you up with masks and fins and IKELITE underwater digital cameras and video cameras which you can use to explore the waters while the staff prepares a BBQ or you can even sample some local food at a taverna when the boat docks at a beach. It’s up to you. Simple, natural and a memorable trip within your Greek vacation.
