Greek cruise ports this month are going to be busier than every other May. Major destinations like Katakolon, Rhodes, Santorini and Mykonos will see a steady flow of ships docking in their ports in a period when the beaches around them become ready for swimmers.
In the next few weeks cruise guests will have the option of swimming along with the usual sightseeing tours in places like Rhodes, Limassol, Crete (Herakleion and Chania) and Mykonos.
The port of Souda near Chania is going to receive more cruise guests in May compared to last month’s successful opening with “Royal Carribean’s” voyager class ships in the leading role. It is a fact now that uprisings in North Africa and the rest of the Middle East gave Chania the chance to disclose its beauties, offering also practical and cheap ways to move around the region.
“Costa” and “MSC” seem to be more attracted than other companies to the pearls of the Ionian and the Aegean Sea. “Royal Carribean” is also competing to get its own share of the Greek beauties.
Most of the major cruise companies will dock at least one of their ships in Greek port.
Last month was more rainy and windy than expected, but that is not going to happen in May. The temperatures will gradually rise, but they are projected to stay in affordable levels for sightseeing, giving also cruisers the permission to swim in some of the most famous beaches of the world.
Restaurants, bars and shops on the islands are open this time of year, which is less crowded than summer months. Keep in mind that Santorini and Mykonos may accept several cruise ship arrivals in some specific days of May, a fact that makes your effort to move around their ports more difficult.
