273.0. "Greek cruises" by NEST::CARPENTER () Tue Apr 02 1991 10:27

    HI!
    
    I'm getting married in March of 92 and we are looking for a Greece
    cruise.  We've found one or two, but they were between $2000 - $2500
    per person not including air fare (which was about another $1000
    per person).
    
    Please let me know if anyone knows of any specials or cheaper rates
    and if you have been on one - how did it rate?
    
    Thanks a lot,

273.2Sun BurningNEST::CARPENTERWed Apr 03 1991 10:279
    No, I haven't looked into Sun Lines - are they expensive?  
    
    One more quick question - if anyone has been on a cruise at Greece
    - what is the best time of year to go.  I have very fair skin and 
    don't want to get burnt to a crisp.
    
    Thanks again,

273.3Great cruise, especially the fresh cherriesVINO::FLEMMINGNo eraser? Its not fault tolerantWed Apr 03 1991 14:5613
    The sun is pretty hot all year round. The temperature gets pretty
    cool during the fall/summer/spring so most of the cruise lines
    (if that's really what you are looking for rather than just ferry
    boats that run between the islands and Greece and Turkey) only
    cruise in the summertime. In terms of burning, I'd just recommend
    a good sun screen. As I said, the sun burns year round.
    
    It was several years ago when I went on the Stella Solaris (Sun
    Lines) but the fare then was about $175/day including air fare.
    We went on a two week cruise which included almost every Greek
    isle, Istambul, lots of the great ruins in Turkey, Egypt and
    Israel. Call your travel agent and ask for a Sun Lines Med. cruise
    brochure.
273.4THANK YOU!!!NEST::CARPENTERThu Apr 04 1991 10:348
    Thank you very much!
    
    I can't wait to see the brochure.  I've always dreamed about a Greek
    cruise.
    
    Thanks again,
