Cruises for singles to the Greek Islands

By Terry Brennar


In order to get the best experience when you are on a Greek island cruise, you should ensure you book a service that uses moderately sized ships. Although large passenger ships are able to access some of the Mediterranean ports easily, they always have long lines of people waiting to debark and embark, or to take a shuttle to a port. In case you would like to have a nice time on activities with your shipmates on board, smaller ships are better than larger ones.

Some other things which make a trip to the Greek islands very enjoyable are the walks through Athens and viewing the variety of world heritage sites as well as exploring this wonderful island that is set into the dazzling blue of the Mediterranean. Smaller cruises also make it easy to stop on the many unique small ports in the Mediterranean. Small cruise line ships enable the passengers to explore these ports in the best way possible. In case you are single, the small ships can enable you to interact with other singles in the ship easily.

Considering the time you can spend in these cruises, there are a number of options available. One of the best options is of 12 days during which the passengers have a chance to visit Grand Mediterranean, the Holy Land, the Greek islands (which are legendary), as well as other exciting and fascinating ports. There is also an option of two day cruises in which you will stay overnight in Giza, Jerusalem or Venice. The whole of Italy is generally a great place to tour and learn about its history.

In case you would like to enjoy the company of other passengers or you would just like to meander on your own during your trip, you have a number of side trip options which are available for you. There are a large number of places you can visit that have great secrets such as the legendary Atlantis which was reportedly in or just off the Mediterranean. It is also interesting to note that the Olympic Games as well as most of our current activities and ceremonies started in Greece. Theater and many other ideas about democracy and other important issues also started in this ancient country.

In addition to a number of countries bordering the Mediterranean, it is also believed to be the cradle of Western civilization. The coast of today's Lebanon is believed to have once belonged to the Phoenicians who had some of the earliest recorded history and writings. The glorious ages of Ancient Egypt came after the Phoenicians and later came the Ancient Rome and of course, Ancient Greece. There are a number of others who also contributed a lot. The rich artwork and statuary and concepts from these time periods have played a great role in what we are today.

It is therefore evident that a trip to the Greek Island is a great tour that can be very remarkable and also help you learn a lot. You should therefore not wonder where you can go for a trip since you now know.
