Athens & The Greek Islands Cruise – AGI044

8 Days tour

17 April 2021: Boston to Athens

24 April 2021: Athens to Boston

Ancient cities, spectacular coastlines, and a 4-day, 4-night Greek Islands cruise through the dazzling Aegean Sea – this could be the story of your 2021.

From the land to the waters, you’ll get the best of both Greek worlds on this 8-day tour. Take to the emerald waters of the Aegean Sea on a 4 day, 4 night Greek Island cruise. Marvel as those iconic Greek postcard scenes come to life; swaying windmills, dramatic cliffs, and whitewashed houses.

You’ll also have the opportunity to soak up the energy and atmosphere that is both present and past Athens. Linger in open-air restaurants and wander markets, scenes which are all framed by the magnificent Acropolis that reaches high into the sky.

Wrap all of these experiences up with a two-night stay in a 4 to 5-star Athens hotel to create an experience of a lifetime, and one that will leave you with memories that are simply priceless.
