Greece

With restrictions beginning to ease for European travellers, we’ve created our new range of Intrepid Retreats so you can embark on adventures a little closer to home.

“A skipper is more than a profession. You spend so much of your life on the boat, it stops being a job and becomes a lifestyle – and you better like it!”

The key to finding the right Greek island for you is knowing what you like – food, adventure, parties or history – and where you can find it.

A life-saving dolphin, philandering gods, and the Lost City of Atlantis? Heres why myth lovers shouldn’t miss the Greek Islands.

We’re looking at where to travel in May, a balmy, sunshine-in-a-bowl sort of month, particularly for the northern hemisphere. Here’s where you should be booking for sunny days and good times.

My 10-day Intrepid tour went by far too quickly in a blur of pristine swim spots and idyllic Cycladic villages.

One thing I discovered before the trip even began: there is no phrase more guaranteed to induce jealousy in your loved ones than ‘I’m sailing the Greek Islands.’

I have never been a cruiser. I was a little sceptical that adventure cruising would be any different, but I’m so glad I went. A small ship offered me the personal service and local experiences I just didn’t get on a big ship. Here’s how an adventure cruise in Greece turned me from a cruise-hater to a cruise-lover.

Last summer, I went on an Adventure Cruise around the Greek Islands and Turkey and honestly can’t imagine experiencing these exotic isles at any other time of year.
