Cruise overview

Welcome to Aurora Expeditions’ Sailing the Greek Islands   

Set sail on a journey through the Greek islands, where the essence of island living unfolds amid azure waters, whitewashed villages, and waterfront tavernas. These islands are not just picturesque postcard destinations; they embody the heart of Greek culture, showcasing the resilience and allure of this archipelagic nation.   

Beyond the well-trodden paths, we uncover tight-knit communities where age-old traditions and family ties thrive, sustained by the renowned Mediterranean diet. Each island offers a unique charm and invitation to explore. Rhodes boasts an enchanting medieval Old Town, while Patmos resonates with ancient mystique. Mykonos beckons with its legendary beach lifestyle, and nearby Delos reveals UNESCO-listed archaeological treasures. Santorini captivates with dramatic cliffs and volcanic vistas, and Syros showcases fertile lands famed for olives, cheese, and wine while Crete, Greece’s largest island, combines ancient civilisations and stunning landscapes en masse, while we enhance our journey, by touching the Turkish coast at Kuşadasi, with the opportunity to visit Ephesus, one of the oldest Greek cities on the Aegean Sea. Starting with an exploration of the ancient wonders of Athens, our voyage unveils the distinct charm of each island, culminating in the ultimate Greek island experience.
