Globus has put three of its most popular itineraries to Greece and Turkey on sale for all of 2010.

Travellers can save up to $1,160 per couple when booking their trip by the end of this year for any departure next year, and enjoy a holiday which combines a cruise in the Greek isles and to legendary ports in Turkey along with a stay in Athens.

The cruise portion of the seven-day Aegean Legends tour visits Crete, Patmos, Kusadasi and Mykonos over three days; while the Jewels of the Aegean features the same ports of call on its four-day cruise, plus a stop in Rhodes. Also available is the 11-day Splendors of Greece and Turkey which adds a stop in Istanbul during its seven-day cruise.

“These cruise-and-stay programs are incredibly popular – and with good reason,” says Stéphanie Bishop, managing director, Canada, for the Globus family of brands.

“Imagine combining a relaxing cruise with some of the most beautiful scenery in the Mediterranean, plus a stay in historic Athens.”

These Globus vacations feature cruising on the Louis Cruise Lines’ MTS Cristal or Aquamarine, both spacious ships featuring at least eight decks, a swimming pool, casino, gift shop beauty salon, and, on board the Cristal, a spa and duty-free shopping area.
