Best Time to Take a Cruise in Greece

The best time to take a cruise in Greece is between the late spring to early summer and autumn. During these months, the balmy Mediterranean weather is perfect for sightseeing in Athens and the Greek isles. Summer is better for swimming, but it also brings inflated prices, heavy crowds, and stifling hot weather.

Coupled with explorations of historic cities and archaeological sites and plenty of active day excursions, from swimming and snorkeling in turquoise waters to hiking and biking around the ancient ruins and rolling valleys, you don’t have to travel beyond the ports to find a world of adventure.

Santorini

Santorini is as beautiful as I remember from 30 years ago. The concerns about over tourism are real and we had to wait about 40 minutes to board the cable car to the port. However, the walk along the caldera from Fira toward Oia was as lovely as ever. Within 5 minutes of leaving the busy town of Fira, the pathway cleared up and we only encountered …

Athens

It is a bit of a journey for us to get from Missoula to Athens. There was a seven hour layover before our 10 hour international flight, in all we were traveling for 23 hours. Our hotel was 20 miles outside of Athens right on the Mediterranean coast. We called ahead and asked the hotel to arrange for a taxi to pick us up from the airport. This …

Lefkada

Beth loves to swim. I’m more of a runner, but I’m willing to indulge. Beth has been to Europe once before and it was for this same swim trip. She loved the trip so much she had to incorporate it into this trip as well. We took a 5 hour bus ride from Athens to Lefkada, there are flights available, but we tend lean more toward budget …

Belize adventures I've worked with Adventure Life before in planning trips and appreciate the quality of trips they put together. They use knowledgeable local guides, comfortable lodgings, and assist with transportation. I find trip planning stressful, so am happy to turn it over to them. They work within our parameters of time, budget, activity level, and types of activities to give us great experiences!

We went to the Patagonia on the Chile side and Perito Moreno in El Calafate, Argentina. Eric of San Diego handled our trip with expertise. The preparation went smoothly, despite some changes on our part with scheduling conflicts. He offered great advice which made us feel at ease with all decisions on the trip. It was truly a great experience.
