Greek Isles & Mykonos Overnight
This nine-day cruise holiday is an excellent choice for Irish travellers seeking a well-organised trip through the eastern Mediterranean. As a cruise experience, it begins with a convenient flight from Dublin to the historic city of Athens. You will enjoy a one-night stay in a comfortable Athens hotel before boarding the impressive Scarlet Lady for a seven-night voyage. This ship belongs to an adults-only cruise line, ensuring a relaxed and sophisticated atmosphere throughout your journey through the Greek Isles Mykonos region.
The Scarlet Lady is a modern vessel designed with the 21st-century traveller in mind. Every cabin is equipped with a tablet, allowing you to adjust the mood-match lighting, watch films, or order food through the ‘ShipEats’ service without leaving your room. The ship prioritises sustainability, having banned single-use plastics and focusing on thoughtfully sourced food. There are no standard buffets here; instead, you can enjoy a wide variety of high-quality dining options included in your cruise fare.
Your itinerary is packed with iconic destinations. After leaving Athens, you will arrive in Santorini, famous for its blue domes and volcanic landscape. It is the perfect place to see the whitewashed buildings that many travellers recognise from postcards. The voyage then takes you to Bodrum in Turkey, often compared to the French Riviera for its beautiful waterfront and twin harbours. Here, you can wander past olive-green hillsides and enjoy the sight of traditional yachts moored in the harbour.
In Rhodes, you will find one of the best-preserved medieval walled cities in Europe. This island has a deep history and the Old Town is a major highlight, originally created by the Knights Hospitaller. Finally, the Greek Isles Mykonos experience concludes with an overnight stay in Mykonos. This allows you plenty of time to experience the island’s famous style or visit the nearby ruins of Delos, the mythological birthplace of Apollo. This package offers great value, including return flights from Dublin, a 20kg checked bag, and all taxes. From the cliffside beauty of Santorini to the ancient ruins of Turkey, this cruise provides a straightforward and enjoyable way to explore the Mediterranean.
