Voyage · Aegean

Greek Islands

The Aegean is a cruise region straight out of the book: short distances, a different island every day, dinner at sunset above the caldera. From Athens with the direct flight from Zurich, from Venice by rail.

A proposal, not a timetable

A different island every morning.

Santorini and Mykonos are part of it, but the cruise line decides the rest: Rhodes, Crete, Corfu or Kotor. We look for ships that stay in port late so you see the village without day-trippers – and for a casino that is open on the sea days.

For families there are departures with children's programmes; the casino remains reserved for adults. We confirm all details in writing.

When to go
Recommended: May–June and September–October. Hot and busy in high summer, but with the longest evenings.
Getting there from Switzerland
Getting there: direct flight Zurich – Athens (2 h 50), transfer to Piraeus 40 minutes. Alternatively rail Zurich – Milan – Venice in about six hours.
