The cruise I took was back in the early 80's, visiting Mykonos, Santorini, Crete and Rhodes. We were on a Greek cruise ship, whose name I don't recall. Wonderful trip. We sailed from Athens, so I don't have any suggestions for hotels. I suggest that if you are in the market for gold jewelry, do visit only the shops recommended by your cruise line staff. There was a jeweler (a fellow tourist) who was on our cruise and he checked our jewelry purchases once we were back on the ship. One woman went to a shop that hadn't been recommended. The gold necklace she purchased wasn't real gold. But, by the time she found that out, we had already set sail. Enjoy your trip!
