Modern
Luxury Winter Greek Island Hopping Cruises
12 Nights
Celebrity Infinity
Beat the winter blues by enjoying a winter sunshine getaway
island hopping across the Greek Islands from Barcelona or Athens.
An overnight five-star hotel stay in Athens will get your
holiday off to a great start with the chance to visit the Acropolis and sample
some delicious Greek Mezze dishes. Perhaps have an ouzo, finish off with a
Metaxa after good try at dancing the Sirtaki!
The winter months are an ideal time to visit the Greek
Islands when there are less crowds and the locals are at their most relaxed.
Without the high heat of summer exploring the markets, historical sights and
natural delights of these islands is a breeze. Discover the legend of the
Minotaur and the Labyrinth at the Palace of Knossos on Crete home to the 5,000-year
old civilisation of the Minoans. Stand in the footsteps of the Colossus of
Rhodes at Mandraki Harbour. Perhaps explore the ancient Roman ruins of Ephesus
from Kusadasi in Turkey and soak up the view across the caldera on Santorini.
From Thessaloniki perhaps explore the scenery and beaches of Halkidiki or the Monasteries
sitting atop granite monoliths in Meteora.
