This is a rare chance to visit Aghios Nikolaos towards the eastern end of Crete  for an authentic Greek experience where a picturesque fishing harbour is surrounded by colourful Greek tavernas. Perhaps stand in the footsteps of the Colossus of Rhodes in Mandraki and check out the history of Kavala. You will even get the chance to vew the Temple of poseidon at Sounio.

These are wonderful cruises aimed at the British cruiser with a flavour of Scotland thrown in. These straight forward cruise holidays give you the chance to avoid the crowds and the mass market approach to cruising on these small & friendly boutique style ships. These ingredients create a very satisfying cruise experience which will make you want to return time and time again.
