Classical Greece Yacht Cruise. A classic in two senses, this itinerary combines some classic historic sites with some classic island hopping – the only way to see the Aegean. It’s the perfect combination of awesome antiquity and natural beauty. So, essentially, you can look at this as a holiday cruise with some super culture attached, or some terrific culture visited courtesy of 7 days on board a beautiful mega yacht. Welcome to small group cruising at its most easy-going with something for everyone!
You’ll see icons both ancient and modern. At one extreme you get to see the mythological birthplace of Apollo at Delos (remarkable ruins) and tune in to the legendary Greek muses. At the other you can sit in a café in the harbour in Hydra, drink ouzo and think about Leonard Cohen who composed ‘So Long Marianne’ tuning up in a café on the selfsame waterfront. If you’ve yet to cruise Greek waters it’s the perfect introduction.
