10 Aug '26Cruise overview
Welcome to AE Expeditions’ It’s All Greek to Me Famed as the birthplace of democracy, Alexander the Great and Plato, Greece offers a plethora of iconic experiences for all the senses. From the resonant melodies of the bouzouki to the majestic Doric columns of the Parthenon and the anise-laden allure of ouzo, our journey encapsulates ‘everything Greek’. Explore legendary sites like Olympia, the Oracle of Delphi, and the ancient wonders of Crete. Savour the flavours of the Mediterranean diet and immerse yourself in the vibrant traditions of Greek music, dance and hospitality. Visit the sun-kissed islands of Mykonos and Santorini and wander the historical heart of Rhodes. There will be time to relax harbourside as fishermen tend their nets, join the locals in the lively sirtaki dance and savour sunsets over an azure Aegean horizon. One thing is certain: after this voyage, you’ll honestly be able to say, ‘It’s all Greek to me.’
