It was 75 years ago that historian Diogenis Venetopoulos became a pioneer in educational group travel, sharing “his Greece” with international travellers.
The launch of the week long classical Greece cruise with less than 50 guests grew to become Variety Cruises, sailing in unique destinations worldwide.
But on 19 July it celebrates its more humble beginnings with a special week-long Diamond Jubilee voyage on the wooden yacht Galileo, visiting six picturesque Greek islands, along with refreshing swim stops at secret islands and coves.
Excursions will include wine and olive oil tastings, culminating in a lively Greek night and a sumptuous captain’s dinner.
Prices start from £2,930 per person, and for full details visit www.varietycruises.com.
