Bursting with character and appeal, Greece is a perfect holiday destination. With each island so distinctly different from its neighbour, the country is really best seen by sea. This week of cruising takes in the cobbled streets of Paros, the heaving history of Rhodes, Patmos’ stories and sunsets and Symi’s unforgettable beauty. A day in Turkey’s Bodrum offers beachside relaxation and oodles of history. Pretty Amorgos is your final call before you disembark in Athens.
