What better way to discover the fabled Greek Islands - or to revisit them - than on an adventure that includes the leisure of a small cruise ship and the exhilaration of hiking? Set out from Athens and cruise to such well-known islands as Crete, famed for offering some of Europe's most attractive walks, and Santorini, where you'll walk along the island's volcanic caldera. The smaller islands of this enchanted archipelago will beckon you the most. In Chios, hike along a wooded vale to an 11th-century Byzantine monastery bedecked with mosaics, and in Lesvos's Methymna, ascend to a medieval castle. Aboard the 34-guest Callisto, relax, savor incredibly beautiful scenery, and experience these magical islands from new vantage points.
