Windstar’s Treasures of Greek Isles cruise immerses you in the heart of Greek culture. Beyond Athens, visit charming, secluded ports like Monemvasia, a pedestrian-only village perched on a cliff, and Nafplio, a quaint town with cobblestone streets and Venetian fortresses. On your Windstar small ship cruise, Greece reveals itself at a relaxed pace, allowing you time to linger in enchanting locations, swim from pristine sandy beaches, savour local cuisine, and connect with friendly locals while toasting with ouzo and shouting “ya mas” (“cheers”). You might even find yourself dancing like Zorba the Greek at a local taverna. Your Windstar cruise offers an ideal Greek experience, just as you envisioned it.
