Cruising the Greek Isles

[ILoveScotland]

DH and I are considering several cruise options for next summer. One of them is to cruise through the Greek Isles. Does anyone have a recommendation for a small ship cruise? The larger ships don't go to all the places where we'd like to go.

Thanks.

What ports do you want to go to?

[ILoveScotland]

We'd like to go from Athens to Istanbul (or vice versa) and desired stops would include Santorini, Mykonos, Rhodes and even Ephesus. My husband did a cruise on the Cunard Princess before he met me that took in all of these, and he'd like us to go together. Maybe I've overlooked some of the larger ships, but so far I haven't found a cruise that stops at all of these ports.

Our voyage is going to a lot of those ports. My husband especially wanted to go to Istanbul, that's why we picked that ship.

Take a look at Sea Dream Yacht club.

You should also look at Windstar as they cruise most of the ports you mention. The ports change a little from month to month, so check various dates. We cruised on the Windsurf from Nice to Rome last year and loved it!

Not sure what you consider small ships but you could have a look at

We are sailing the Greek Isles next summer with Overseas Adventure Travel ( part of Grand Circle Tours) on the Motor Yacht Panorama.
