Your cruise through the Greek islands will take you to Mani in the Peloponnese - also known as the land of family feuds.
There are low growing shrubs and tall watch towers here.
These vantage points were used to keep an eye on the Ottoman Empire and the neighbours.
These also had rifle holes to shoot at sight.
The Manioc people are independent and self sufficient.
Till a few years ago the place seemed to have been left behind by time but the internet and communication is changing this place too.
Foreign nationals are moving into these watch towers keeping them as vacation homes.
Then cruise to one of the Greek islands - Symi.
It is a well known tourist spot and holds many conferences for companies and governments from world over.
As the traffic to these islands increases by the year the present harbour is being broadened to accommodate the incoming ships.
There are daily ferry boats sailing from the Rhodes Island through the month of March through November.
You could also hire a hydrofoil in early fall or late spring and summer.
There are ferries from Piraeus too, though only twice a week.
So Symi is alive all year round! The city of Thessaloniki is close to Athens on the north.
Take your cruise to Athens; hire a car to this amazing place -which is a university town.
The youth and their energy make this place worth visiting.
There is sophisticated entertainment for the people who desire a peek into the Greek music, drama and art.
