Cruising
With more than 1400 islands scattered across it, Greece's gorgeous azure
water practically begs to be navigated. Not surprisingly, cruising is an in-
creasingly popular way of seeing the country. Not only does cruising re-
move the stress of sorting out your own interisland transport, accommoda-
tion, meals and itinerary, it also gets you out on the sea with the
meltemi
(dry northerly wind) at your back and another island always on the hori-
zon. Depending on the cruise you choose, it can also open doors to cultur-
al tours and experiences otherwise not available, and take you to destina-
tions where you might not have ventured.
