A world cruise maybe slightly out of reach but with more than 150 islands, there is a huge amount to see and do on Greek island cruises. Whatever you’re looking for you’re bound to find it on the Greek islands.

The Greek Islands consist of more than 6000 islets and islands belonging to Greece out of which only 227 have been inhabited. The most populous and largest Greek island is Crete and the second largest one is the Euboea.

Greece is a land of timeless beauty. Wrapped in ancient history and culture, it is a world of discovery and enchantment from exciting Athens to the idyllic Greek Islands. Greece is a land of many opportunities and discoveries. The best way to see everything is with through a tour operator that offers everything from a-la-cart for those who want to go at their own pace or just spend time in Athens, to full island hopping cruises and escorted tour packages to experience all of the beauty of Greece.

In the past few years, Greece has been gaining popularity as a great honeymoon destination. There are islands spread out on the Aegean and Ionian Sea that are idyllic spots to spend a honeymoon in. Islands that offer a great backdrop for romantic honeymoons include Rhodes, Crete and Athens. The view of whitewashed houses against clear blue skies provides a very romantic setting for a honeymoon vacation. Greece also offers a variety of accommodations depending on taste and need. There are classic or luxurious options for couples. Honeymooners can also opt to go on cruise trips or to stay in private villas. There are also many activities aside from swimming, like sailing and snorkeling.

I once heard from someone that you can never finish exploring all the Greek islands in one’s lifetime because there are just too many out there. Well to me every Greek island is probably worth the visit, but since it is impossible to cover them all and truly appreciate the beauty, I chose my top 5 (in no particular order).
