Greece

Vacation Packages

Start your Aegean Sea cruise vacation in Athens, Greece. Enjoy a morning orientation of Athens before boarding your cruise ship to set sail in the deep blue Aegean Sea. Although there are plenty of activities on board to keep you entertained on your cruise, such as sunbathing and sipping cool drinks, you also enjoy stops along the way. On the windmill-dotted island of Mykonos, you have time to wander through the narrow paved streets lined with trendy boutiques and shady tavernas. On the historic island of Rhodes, explore the sights in the historic Old City with its ramparts and palaces built by the Knights of St. John during the Crusades. Rhodes also offers beaches and shopping within easy walking distance of the port. You also stop at the tiny island of Patmos and the Turkish port of Kusadasi. Your trip ends back in Athens, the capital of Greece. You’ll arrive home from your vacation cruising the Aegean Sea with lots of photos and memories.
