Athens and the Greek islands are among most-searched cruise destinations on Yahoo’s platform.
The popular platform comments about Greece that “while cruises throughout the Mediterranean are popular, trips around the Greek islands are particularly noteworthy for their casual beauty and carefree schedules. Explore the small isles on the luxury yachts of Windstar Cruises or Variety Cruises. The perk of the smaller boats is that they can make their way into frequently unvisited ports. But, if you’re looking for a more classic cruise trip, with all the amenities of a large ship, try Norwegian Cruise Line’s Greek isles trip, which leaves from Venice before stopping in Corfu, Santorini, and Mykonos. Celestyal Cruises also has quick three- and four-day tours to visit the classic islands of Greece and Turkey.”
It also adds that “cruises are an extremely popular way to explore the coasts of the Mediterranean. Summer is the high season, but fall trips (or planning for this upcoming spring) offer great deals. There are even some year-round ships with unique itineraries like the trip from MSC Cruises that travels to the Canary Islands and Morocco. If you want to tick off Mediterranean cities, classic cruises from Princess, Viking, or Crystal will visit Monte Carlo, Florence, Istanbul, Athens, Rome, Pisa, and Naples. Smaller boats, like Sea Dream’s luxury yachts, can travel to more off-the-beaten path ports.”
