Cruising and activity holidays
Exploring the delectable underwater world by swimming or snorkelling is one thing, but the Greek Islands are a wonderful place to work out your land legs too, so always pack your hiking boots as well as your swim gear. There’s a good diversity of landscapes on the islands, and walking unveils many of the myths and legends that make Greece such a magical place. Hike on the volcanic Cyclades, follow coastal paths in the Peloponnese or go mountain biking on Corfu. Or combine diving with exploring the Cyclades islands on a liveaboard dive vessel.Ancient sites
Small ship cruises don’t just explore Greece’s watery world, but also the world of the ancient Greeks, Venetians, Byzantines and Romans. Several of our holidays allow you to combine island hopping with historical hotspots, before returning to your boat deck to soak up the sea breezes.Where should you head for? The Peloponnese has beautiful ancient sites in just about every port. Discover the legendary cities of Mycenae and Messene and the Venetian seaside town of Pylos, or take an excursion to Olympia, one of the most important sites of the ancient world. Or there’s the Acropolis of Lindos in Rhodes, the ancient theatre on Delos in the Cyclades, plus dozens of smaller, lesser known sites besides.

Family cruising
Cruises on a traditional Greek motorised sailing boat are a wonderful idea for a family holiday; and we do offer tours specifically designed with families in mind, with a minimum age of seven, cruising around the Cyclades Islands for a week. Friendships with other children onboard develop easily, and electronic devices will be put down in favour of activities such as swimming, snorkelling and kayaking. Itineraries are pre-planned but as with many small group trips, there is potential for flexibility and free time together as a family, too.Practicalities
Small ship cruises carry between four and 50 passengers, and vary in style and type of vessel, from gulets and working sailing yachts, to elegant motor yachts complete with bars, sunbeds and a Jacuzzi on deck. Their small size allows them to navigate their way around the tiny channels of the archipelago and moor at the islands’ lovely small harbours. However, there’s still plenty of deck space for relaxing and taking in the views. You’ll have a private cabin with either an en suite or shared bathroom, depending on the size of the ship and your budget, and in some cases you may have your own porthole or large windows. Solo travellers may have to pay a supplement for a private cabin or can opt to share with a fellow passenger of the same sex. In all likelihood, though, you’ll spend the majority of your time up on deck in the company of fellow passengers, and if the weather is warm enough, perhaps even sleep there too.On dedicated sailing holidays, group sizes range between eight and 17 passengers and take place on a yacht, which is usually on the simple side when it comes to facilities, with shared shower rooms, small living quarters and no Wi-Fi in sight, though this is all part of the fun. You’ll have an experienced skipper and crew and while you don’t need prior sailing experience, some tours take a ‘hands on’ approach, giving you the chance to learn as you sail.
