Some of the Destinations

Santorini

Probably the island that features the best scenery on a Royal Caribbean Greek Isles cruise is Santorini. That is because you can enjoy breathtaking views from just about anywhere on the island. Picturesque towns seem to cling to majestic cliffs and the caldera is filled with shimmering turquoise water.

Mykonos

If you love water sports, you will appreciate the offerings on Mykonos. Showcasing iconic windmills and whitewashed homes, the island is as inviting as it is fun. Guests can visit the ancient ruins of Delos or satisfy their appetite at a Mykonian bakery.

Athens

Another Greek cruise stop is Athens, the capital of Greece. The city is still surrounded by famous historical monuments and ancient landmarks such as the Parthenon and Acropolis. If you want to pick up some souvenirs on your Mediterranean and Greek cruise holiday this is ideal location.

Rhodes

The largest of the Greek Dodecanese islands, Rhodes is famous for its ancient ruins and lovely beaches. The fascinating island features an Old Town, which takes you far back in time to the Crusades. Now a museum, the Palace of the Grand Masters will take you on a journey of the area’s history.

Corfu

Corfu is an island that is in the Ionian Sea and located off of northwest Greece. The resort-friendly island is home to sites such as Mount Pantokrator, Palaiokastritsa, and the Achilleion. Snorkelers like visiting the beaches and waters of Paleokastritsa while Achilleion, a 19th-century neoclassical mansion, welcomes history buffs and gardening enthusiasts.

Katakolon

The seaside town of Katakolon is located in western Greece and faces the Ionian Sea. Its claim to fame is the ancient site of Olympia, the place where the first Olympics were hosted and played in the eighth century. Enjoy the breathtaking views and sample the local wine in this idyllic enclave.

Argostoli

Situated on the Ionian island of Kefalonia, Argostoli is the perfect place to sit and drink coffee at the local café and watch the passersby. Some of the featured sites include the Makris Gialos Beach and Bell Square.
