I hosted a group on a Virgin Voyages cruise to Greece. We had a blast!

Athens: we stayed in Athens overnight before the cruise. A few of us had dinner at Hill restaurant and it had a breathtaking view of the Acropolis. This whole area was a vibe! The cobblestone streets lead you from one to another restaurant, bar or lounge. It went on and on. Just walking through this area showed true character of history mixed with a contemporary flair. We did go to the Parthenon located at the top of the Acropolis. You will need to get your tickets early for a time slot to get up to the Parthenon. If you wait until the day of, you will stand is a long line and get a time slot for later that day. It was extremely crowded there.

Santorini: I must start with the difficulties of even getting into Santorini from the port. We had to catch a tender from our ship to the port and then you either had to catch a cable car up or ride a donkey up the mountain. Depending on how many cruise ships were at the port that day determined how long this process was going to take. It took us about 1 1/2 hours to finally reach the top that day. Once you got to the top you would see a plethora of shops, restaurants, and lounges. This is the destination where alot of people do the flying dress photoshoot. Some of us did it and some did not. For those who did not, they just enjoyed the scenery. I personally went on a private tour of the island with one other person in the group to the other side of the island. We were then taken past a black sand beach and drove around a little more. We had to get back at a decent time though because you do have to get back down that mountain and do the process all over again in order to get to your cruise ship on time. I must say that I feel like I could fly into this destination and spend a couple days. I feel like it has to be more that I didn't see.

Rhodes: this destination didn't have a whole lot going on so my group opted to take a catamaran around the island. We stopped in various places to jump off the boat and enjoy the water or just have photo opportunities. This route around the island was breathtaking with the views and beautiful water.

Bodrum Turkey: we then went to Bodrum where the group decided to do a Turkish bath. We also added on other services such as hour long body massages. This was very interesting because most of the women decided to do this process naked which they encourage. For the Turkish bath you go from the steamer to the freezing cold water a few times and then get rubbed down and given a bath. Very interesting process. If you've never experienced it, I would say you at least have to try it once...especially in Turkey.

Mykonos: now this destination definitely had an aura about it. Although our cruise ship stayed overnight, I felt like I needed more time there. I am definitely flying back there to spend more time. My group decided to do a beach club in the day and most of them hung out in downtown Mykonos all night. They have shop after shop after shop...even the high end shops (LV, Gucci and Dior just to name a few). The prices are a little lower and the selection had a few different pieces. Mykonos is known as the party city in Greece. Just to be able to hang out there gave you such a vibe...a great atmosphere!

On the ship: I love going on Virgin Voyage cruises. The fact that there aren't children...alone is a big draw for me. The food is cooked to order...there are no buffets. That is another draw for me and the food is very good. They have high end shops aboard along with a casino. I always recommend this cruise line to my clients. The service aboard the ship is top notch and you don't have to tip...it's already included in your fare. The entertainment is pretty good and different. I found myself going to one of the lounges and seeing a band that played late night. Others opted for the club aboard the ship. There is something for everyone! There are also some shows that you can partake in and bingo. Feel free to go back and see my other 2 reviews on Virgin Voyages.

General information: the currency is the euro and I found that I didn't need that much because you can use your card quite a bit but you do need some for tipping, buying things in some small shops or maybe even some transportation. Greece nor Turkey wanted no parts of the US currency. The best time to travel to Greece is between May and October because the weather is hot and everything is open. In the winter months alot of the restaurants and shops are closed. The hottest and most busiest months are July and August. The food in Greece was seasoned well and very good. The iconic Greek salad does not include lettuce (like we are so use to in the US). When using taxis establish the price before hopping in. They seem to come up with prices off the top of their heads and some of them charge too much. Greek is the official Language but I didn't have any problems speaking English there and them comprehending. Always be prepared to use your translation app though.
There are alot of hills and stairs. You must be prepared for alot of walking and keep in mind that some of the streets/stairs are very slippery. In some areas when using the bathroom they ask that you put all toilet paper in the trash...not to flush them.

Greece was a bucket list trip for me and I opted to do it as a cruise first so I can see where I would want to spend more time later.
