What our customers ask about Boat Tours in Greece

When is the best time to take a boat tour in Greece?
The most reliable time for Greek boat tours falls between May and September when waters are calm and temperatures favorable. July and August see temperatures reaching 85°F (29°C) in Santorini and Mykonos but draw the largest crowds. A TourRadar traveler noted about their Emerald Cruises journey: "The weather in September was perfect - warm enough for swimming but not too hot for exploring the islands." For fewer tourists and comfortable conditions travelers should consider visiting during May-June or September-October.
Which Greek islands are typically included in boat tours?
Greek boat tours often center on the Cyclades archipelago with stops at Santorini Mykonos and Milos. Key destinations include Oia's white-painted neighborhoods in Santorini Delos's historical sites and Hydra's car-free traditional streets. Some longer routes extend to Crete Rhodes and the Dodecanese islands. A TourRadar traveler on an Insight Vacations cruise shared: "The variety of islands was perfect - from cosmopolitan Mykonos to scenic Santorini and the untouched beauty of Milos."
What type of boats/vessels are used for Greek island cruising?
Vessels range from boutique 100-passenger luxury yachts to mid-sized ships carrying 400-500 guests. The Emerald Azzurra represents the smaller end with features like an infinity pool fitness center and multiple dining venues served by 72 crew members. Higher-end vessels offer balcony suites outdoor pools and modern cabin amenities. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The Emerald Azzurra was the perfect size - intimate enough to access smaller ports but with all the amenities of a luxury vessel."
What is typically included in meals on Greek boat tours?
Meals on Greek boat tours encompass three daily meals featuring Mediterranean and international dishes. Many operators like Emerald Cruises include beverage packages covering wine beer soft drinks and select cocktails. The dining program highlights Greek cuisine through cooking demonstrations and local restaurant visits when in port. A TourRadar traveler on an Insight Vacations cruise shared: "The variety of fresh Greek dishes was outstanding - from souvlaki to fresh seafood and traditional moussaka."
How much time is typically spent at each island stop?
Island visits last between half a day and a full day giving travelers time to see main attractions and experience local life. Santorini stops often allow 8-10 hours for visiting Oia village watching the sunset and exploring Fira. Popular destinations like Mykonos and Santorini sometimes include overnight stays. A TourRadar traveler noted on their Emerald Cruises journey: "The schedule provided a perfect balance - enough time to really experience each island without feeling rushed."
