You must have heard of all the promising holiday destinations-right. But have you ever heard of the Greek Isles- Yes Athens-Bodrum and much more-come experience. You must have gone on a cruise to Singapore, Malaysia, Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki, St. Petersburg, Copenhagen, etc., but have you ever cruised the Greek Isles. If not, how about planning to go there this vacation!
Greek Isles is one of the most wonderful cruise destinations. Cruising the Greek Isles this vacation will definitely leave you with unforgettable memories. Since every cruise involves perfect planning, and if you go through this article, you will find some important details that will help you to plan your cruise to the Greek Isles.
Important Tips:
Let?s begin with the TRAVEL DOCUMENT, which is very important. If you are an American then you will only need a passport but not a Visa.
The LANGUAGE spoken on this island is Greek, but since English is an international language, and is spoken everywhere, and if you know English, then you will have no problem at all in communicating on any of the Greek islands.
The CURRENCY used in Greece is EURO. But CREDIT CARDS are also accepted and ATM machines are also available, thus, if you are thinking of carrying your credit card, then only make sure if it can be used overseas.
The best time to visit the Greek Isles is at the end of spring and in the beginning of summer and even in autumn. In July/August the weather is very pleasant and it is not too hot, hence the ancient sites are always full of tourists and the beaches too are fully packed with people. There is no rainfall from May to September, and the months of October and November are very dry, but the rainiest and coolest months are December, January and February. So, the choice is yours. You can make your decision in choosing the weather that will suit you.
Now, you will want to know what sort of clothes you should carry! Well, on the cruise itself, since so many activities are held, you will need formal, informal and even casual wear. On the shore, you will need a good pair of shoes and casual but cool clothing because the streets are full of stones and at the ancient archaeological sites the ground is uneven and stony. And, in case you decide to go at the end of autumn or in the beginning of spring then you might need a sweater as well.
Since there is not much shade, because the Greek Isles are mostly treeless and even at the archeological sites there is very little shade, a broad-brimmed hat, a pair of good sunglasses and sunscreen is a must.
All types of cruise ships, i.e. luxury, mainstream, and sailing ships, sail to the Greek Isles. Minimum fare is $1000 per week. You can book your cruise to Greek Isles through a travel agent or directly with the cruise line.
The Greek Isles:
The Greek Isles is full of small islands and each island has its own personality and charm. For example, the night sky is so clear that you can clearly make out each constellation. The black volcanic sand, when you walk barefooted through this sand, the feeling of joy that you will experience will be a hundredfold. The sea stretches outward from the black volcanic sands.
If you sail into the white-washed and flower bedecked BODRUM, which is one of the most charming cities with sophisticated resorts and is also a center for boat building, you will find the Turkish made wooden boats called GULETS lining the waterfront; you can hire them for the day and have good fun.
If you go to KUSADASI, then you must visit MERYEMARIA that?s the House of the Virgin Mary where she stayed when St. John took her after Jesus crucifixion. From there you can also enjoy the panoramic view of EPHESUS below. To know how many ancient civilizations have come and gone, you should visit the ruined city of ancient EPHESUS. You will come across the glorious Celsus Library fa?ade, which was restored and reconstructed in the 1970s, the Grand Amphitheater, and the Temple of Hadrian. If you visit the Archaeological Museum of Ephesus you can see the artifacts that were discovered during the excavation, displayed here. They include the fresco of Socrates, statues and heads of Eros, crosses, coins and works of first century AD such as glass trays, theatrical masks, etc.
RHODES- This Island is known as the island of roses. It is mountainous with beautiful beaches. The old town Rhodes has hundreds of shops and restaurants and they are open at night too, so you can shop for gold and silver jewelry, leather, furs, lace, linens, sea sponges and carpets.
The DONKEYS (known as the beast of burden), you will find them on the three Islands - Santorini, Rhodes, and Mykonos. They are ever ready to carry you to the top of the steep acropolis if you don?t mind riding on them. There are cable cars too, if you don?t like to ride on a donkey. And if you prefer walking, then there are steps to help you climb about 600 of them that lead to the capital city of Fira, which is about 1500 ft high, on the cliffs,
Most of the packages to Greek Isles include flight; superior hotel accommodations in Athens for three nights, a wonderful Greek Island cruise for three nights, buffet breakfast, and all meals aboard the cruise, and transfers too. You can explore Athens and the islands on your own if you like, or you can take the inexpensive optional tours. All the fun is yours for prices starting at as low as $999 including airfare. Isn?t that amazing!
Then what are you waiting for!! Get up book your tickets, get packing and set a sail to the wonderful Greek Isles where the beauty and fun never sets!
