Welcome to our monthly electronic newsletter that brings you travel update and exclusive holiday offers.

For those planning to see the Greek islands on the massive cruise lines there are a few things to keep in mind. These ships were not made for the Greek islands. You can enjoy Aegean Treasures on Greek Island cruises, the boats are not small but not so big that getting on and off them is a problem. You may not be able to hit golf balls off the upper deck into the beautiful blue Aegean but there is plenty to do onboard and the Greek ships do most of their travelling while you are asleep. The Greek ships generally carry around 800 passengers compared to the big cruise ships which carry several thousand.

If the trip is you’re once in a lifetime trip to Greece and the cruise does not include Santorini or Rhodes, then it will not be a complete journey of Treasures.

Santorini Island is one of the most popular places of the Cyclades islands. The landscapes of the island are considered to be of the most spectacular in the world. Imagine glimmering white painted villages standing on the highest point of cliffs, offering breathtaking views. Island has also some beaches to offer, with black or red sand.

Rhodes Island, lies between Crete and the near East in the Aegean ocean. Rhodes is the biggest of the Dodecanese islands. Named the sun island or island of light there are hardly any days when the sun doesn't shine. Rhodes is one of the most popular holiday islands in Greece - even Greeks themselves come to Rhodes for a holiday from the mainland.
