Cruise Description

Cruise the Greek Islands with Azamara

Get ready for an unforgettable excursion calling on eight Grecian ports, plus a few Turkish interludes along the way. Begin In Istanbul, then sail to Kepez, the gateway to Canakkale, Troy, and Gallipoli. Kavala in Greece is home to picture-perfect beaches. Next, the Byzantine beauty of Thessaloniki is breathtaking, and the ethereal magic of Meteora near Volos is sure to captivate.

After a stop in the seaside resort town of Cesme, next up is the easternmost of the Cyclades, Amorgos, where ancient Minoan tombs and towers dot the countryside. Continue your Grecian immersion with a late stay on historic Rhodes, then take in one of the most spectacular sunsets on Earth on Santorini where we stay late. Your journey concludes in always-alluring Athens.

Cruise Highlights

Tour iconic sites in Athens including the Temple of Zeus, Hadrian's Arch, and the site of the first modern Olympics. 

Discover neoclassical buildings in the Old City of Cesme, a seaside resort town popular among locals.

In Fira on the Greek isle of Santorini, take a ride to the top of the city in a cable car after a day of cafes, boutiques, and architecture.

One must-see in Amorgos is the Olympia shipwreck—a commercial ship run aground in 1980 that now sits in two pieces in the shallow water.

Stroll through Aegina and take in the pastel-hued homes in yellow ochre, coral, rose pink and even a splash of periwinkle.

In Istanbul, grab a kebab at a local kebapçıs and shop at the Grand Bazaar, one of the oldest and largest covered markets in the wold.
