Greece Multi-Centres

Combining the buzz of Chania with the chilled-out vibes of Elounda, it’s the best of both. Vibrant Chania makes a great starting point. Whether you want to shop, sunbathe, sightsee or sip cocktails until dawn, there’s something for everyone here. After the excitement of the island’s second-biggest city, the sleepy fishing village of Elounda with its stunning views and laid-back tavernas comes at the perfect time.

Why choose between two idyllic Greek isles when you can visit them both in one blissful trip? This island‑hopping escape takes you from Santorini, home to superstar sunsets and dramatic caldera views, to super‑sophisticated Mykonos, where chic beaches, stylish dining and an unmistakable buzz await. With hand‑picked hotels and seamless transfers, this tailor‑made multi‑centre lets you enjoy the very best of the Greek islands without having to worry about the logistics.

Explore the contrasting islands of Alonissos and Skiathos, two amazing gems in the Greek Sporades archipelago, each with its unique charm. Sail away from a backdrop of thick green pine forests and head out on the open seas, keeping your eyes peeled for the next secluded cove to come into sight. Leave behind the tranquil beauty of Alonissos, famed for its serene, unspoiled landscapes, and prepare for the vibrant allure of Skiathos. Wander through the lively Old Harbour, breathe in the fresh pine-scented air, and marvel at the crystal-clear waters. Embrace the adventure of discovering these diverse islands, where each moment is a blend of idyllic landscapes and cultural richness.

Why chose just one Greek island when you can have two? This sunshine-filled getaway pairs the charm of Corfu with the wild spirit of Crete. Think pastel harbour towns, hidden coves you’ll want to keep secret, ancient legends come to life and long lunches where time simply doesn’t matter. It’s the perfect mix of wander and wonder.

Explore myths, legends and the relics of long-gone civilisations. Hop between two cities that wear their epic past on their sleeves with Explora Journeys, stopping at islands and picture-postcard ports as you go. The spacious suites on EXPLORA II are refined but oh-so comfy and each has a private sun terrace where you can while away lazy moments. There are more dining experiences than days of the week, 12 bars and lounges, four pools and nearly a thousand square metres dedicated to wellness and fitness. And all this for just 922 guests.

Begin with statues, spires and spaghetti in Rome. Then sail across the Aegean with Royal Caribbean Cruises for ruins, rooftop bars and rose-gold sunsets. Your finale? Halkidiki for cabanas, coastline and a side of Aristotle. The colossal Odyssey of the Seas is one of Royal Caribbean’s innovative and action-packed Quantum Class ships. In one day, you can surf, ice skate, skydive, eat and drink it up, catch live bands in lounges and see West End-quality shows.

The out-of-the-ordinary, asymmetrically designed Silver Nova is a recent addition to Silversea’s fleet. She has a capacity of 728 guests and is wonderfully roomy as she has one of the most space per guest ratios of any cruise ship in the world. Go on, spread out a little bit.

Athens makes the ideal starting point. You’ll always have something to do here with a never-ending list of must-dos made up of historical gems, rooftop bars, bustling markets and intriguing museums. The Greek Islands on the other hand, are less about sightseeing and more about soaking up the sun, lazy lunches under olive branches and late nights sipping ouzo under the stars.

Sometimes you want lazy beach days and ancient city vibes. Why choose one when you can have both? Start with turquoise seas and sunset cocktails in Zante, then hop over to Athens for rooftop bars, café and culture and the Acropolis glowing at golden hour. One short flight, zero stress and plenty of wow moments.
