What islands does it visit?

it is r/t from Rome so the Breakaway does 3-4 countries, Cannes France, Florence, Sicily and Naples Italy.

For Greece it does Corfu, Mykonos, Santorini, and Athens.

Malta will replace Dubrovnik.

Santorini is spectacular, but can be very busy, hopefully you’ll be on a day with not too many ships visiting.  Try to visit Akrotiri,  and ancient town that they think may have been Atlantis. We liked Corfu, the Achilleon Palace where Prince Phillip was born, and some gorgeous scenery and a pretty town. Mykonos is pretty and has some nice beaches.   Athens and the Parthenon are incredible to visit.  
We also have really enjoyed Sicily, Florence and in Naples so much to see and do.    Where in .Sicily?

Messina.

That is right Prince Philip was born in Greece.   Now with all this chatter I am eager to go.

But it is not until next year and I do have my Northern Europe on Voyager of the Seas before my greek cruise.  No European cruises this year just Caribbean, and Alaska.

from Messina you can visit Taormina, it’s beautiful!  Always fun to plan! Enjoy!

what is your favorite island in Greece area?

And do you like Gibralter?

Santorini followed by Mykonos.

Gibraltar is a bit like an English town but nice to see especially the Rock.
