Looking for a cruise in late March throughout Greek islands. 7 days. Rick Steves has nothing that early. Going to be in Athens on March 27 - April 7.
Can anyone tell me of a good cruise line ?

You may not find anything else either. That is pretty early. The island do not really start waking up until mid April/May. Try hopin.com. When we were in Athens this Fall, I picked up their brochure because it looked interesting. Know absolutely NOTHING about them. Hopefully Lee with have something to say if he sees this.

Hello James. If you will be at Greece, March 27 - April 7, I recommend : fly from Athens airport to an island (Naxos, or Santorini, or Rhodes). The flights from most islands are to Athens only, but there might be a flight from Rhodes to an other island such as Santorini or Crete. And Ferry boats are not reliable during those dates. If you want to travel in a ship on the Agean Sea, there is a good large ship that travels, at a fast speed, from the Port of Piraeus to the island Chios and other islands, in the month March. If I can find the name of that passenger ship company, I will send it to you. (I saw that ship when I was on the island Chios located at northeast Agean Sea).

James, we have friends that swear by OAT (Overseas Adventure Tours) They have excellent prices on some great small boat tours, and even have some in the Greek islands that start in late March...but they are 14-16 days long.
Check out their web site:
