Cruising to the Cyclades, Greece

Crystal clear waters, beautiful horizons and a stunning selection of ancient and medieval treasures combine to make Cruising to the Cyclades the quintessential Greek island experience.

This two-week cruise through the Dodecanese and Cyclades archipelagos incorporates over a dozen Aegean islands in its itinerary. These include a carefully chosen mix of the world-famous (glorious Santorini, laid-back Kos and mountainous Naxos) as well as some rarely visited (such as remote Astypalea, picturesque Nisyros and tiny Anafi), each one with its own distinctive character and beauty.

This region has been a rich and interesting history. Its archaeological sites range from Bronze Age cities to beautiful Classical temples, Roman towns, Byzantine monasteries and Crusader castles, as well as numerous traditional villages and towns. An expert guide will help bring them to life, and as each island drifts by you'll travel through the pages of history.

Avoiding the crowds and hustle and bustle of conventional island-hopping, you will travel in style aboard a luxurious 12 cabin gulet, Aegean Clipper. Beautifully hand-crafted from Turkish pine, the operators have used her for special trips previously including their most recent Alexander the Great tour in Turkey, and are delighted to be using her for this unique trip. 41 metres long from bow sprit to stern, and with a deck length of 33 metres, the boat is both spacious and comfortable. She is kept in gleaming and immaculate condition by her owner and captain, Ergun, who has a wealth of knowledge and experience of cruising in the Greek islands.

The delicious meals prepared by our on-board chef will be a constant highlight of your journey, as will the many lunches and dinners ashore, all carefully chosen to showcase authentic Greek cuisine and traditional hospitality.
