SandSailSun,

Sea Crown (see post above) that we took I think has moved to Croatia, but highly recommend that size boat. There were 10 couples on the boat. We went with another couple, and it was wonderful. We also made some new lifetime friends from the left coast. We are not big on Cruising, but this was a nice match.

We used Viking Tours (not to be confused with the River Cruise folks)and everything came off great. They have an office in Wilmington, NC and Athens.

Make sure you leave yourself 2 or 3 days before you get underway just to ease into the lifestyle and 2 or 3 on the backside just in case you do not make some place you had your heart set on. The winds did not allow us to get to Santorini so when the trip was up we were in Syros, so we caught the ferry to Santorini for 3 days and all was good in the world.

The winds in the Greek Isles can be pretty tricky even for experience sailors.

Enjoy
