We sailed our first Greek Isles Cruise 2026 | Our Honest Full Review | The Good, Bad and Ugly

Editorial Summary

The creators provide a comprehensive review of a seven night Greek Isles cruise aboard the Disney Dream, covering destinations such as Mykonos, Santorini, and Crete. They highlight several positive aspects, including the hospitality of the Greek people, the stunning architecture, and the high quality of local food and shopping. The reviewers note that many destinations offer excellent beach clubs, which can make expensive ship excursions unnecessary. However, they warn travelers about several challenges, such as the prevalence of tender ports that require early planning, difficult terrain with slippery marble surfaces, and limited accessibility for those with mobility issues. They also advise travelers to carry cash in Euros, avoid tap water, and prepare for intense heat and humidity. The review concludes by addressing the significant issue of extreme crowds in popular areas. To mitigate this, the creators suggest visiting sites very early in the morning, hiring private guides to find off the beaten track locations, or traveling during the shoulder seasons of May or September to avoid the peak summer rush.
