Greece Sailing Sabbatical
Description | Itinerary | Photo Gallery | Register Description The Greek Islands The Greek islands of the Aegean are among the most beautiful and interesting cruise areas in the world. Bounded by the Greek mainland to the west and north, the Turkish coast to the east, and the island of Crete to the south, the islands dot the skyblue Aegean waters in clusters bearing the names Sporades, Cyclades, Saronic, and Dodecanese. The remnants of early Greek civilization, the timeless quality of customs unchanged for centuries, and nature's excellent display of beauty in sea, sky, and land combine to make cruising these waters an unforgettable experience. The Cyclades (from the Greek word for 'rings' or 'circles') is the central group of islands in the Aegean, so named because of the way they seem to surround Delos, the ancient centre of trade and worship. The Cyclades are well-known for their stark elemental landscape, white washed houses contrasted against the deep blue and azure colours of sky and sea, traditional windmills, narrow paths full of flowers, and most recently the never ending nightlife. |
