Creator's Key Takeaways

Santorini is absolutely fascinating because it is created by a lots of volcanic activity and so you have these massive 300 meter high cliffs

Mykonos town one of the great things to do in Mykonos town it's to stroll through the little winding streets

Patmos is a real quiet island and you normally attend are there only the smaller ships come in

Kotor is a magnificent and beautiful place to call on it so when you look at our 10 Ares I really recommend you include one that has kotor on it

YouTube Video Description↓

Greece and the Greek Islands is a wonderful cruising destination, with many cruises starting and ending in Athens and Venice, known as Eastern Mediterranean Cruises. But when you are looking at which cruise line and itinerary to go on your Greek Islands cruise vacation, make sure you are going to the best, most beautiful and interesting islands and ports. Many only go to a few and very busy ones, skipping some of the more appealing ones. In this video I recommend the best islands and ports you should make sure your cruise goes to and what to do on your day in port, including those the cruises often call on when starting or ending in Venice. These include Athens, Katakolon, Crete, Santorini, Mykonos, Patmos, Gythion, Corfu, Kotor and Dubrovnik. Note: I travelled as a guest of Titan Travel on their Italian Lakes and Greek Islands cruise trip before making this video.
