 To frantically pack and unpack, be herded on and off crowded, noisy ferries and cruise ships is not the way to experience the Greek Islands. It is beneath their dignity and desensitizes us to their subtle enchantment.
Welcome Aboard the Aegean Lady!
Clothing Optional When Appropriate!
When you need a break from the sun and sea, relax in your cabin or perhaps entertain a new friend ... or two...
Come check out the local Marine Wildlife. We think you will like what you see!
 While the less fortunate are haggling for a room at a busy port or trying to find space on a packed beach, our lady is cutting effortlessly through the sparkling surface of the cobalt Aegean.
The journeys between the islands are short and leave plenty of time for enjoying a deserted beach, lunch at a Greek taverna or partying in the sugar cube clubs of Mykonos town.
With three sun decks, a bar and twelve double cabins, The Aegean Lady is a holiday on her own. Comfortable and solid, she offers all the luxury of larger ships but is more exclusive.
Give yourself a break and come aboard. Order a cocktail from your steward and enjoy it on the stern deck at sunset. With the distant islands black against the hot orange of the evening sun. The gentle hiss of water seething in the ships wake. Paradise? No. The nearest thing? Definately!
Enjoy your Cruise!

Islands
So similar yet so different, the islands visited by Aegean Lady offer a combination of culture, nightlife and of course, plenty of sun and sand.
Ios
Wild nightlife, good restaurants and beautiful beaches. Many of europe's younger party animals come to Ios where they indulge in a fortnight of alcohol fueled hedonistic binges alternated with a daily sizzle on golden sands. The Island also offers a particularly charming medieval town where even the most discerning bon viveur can find an enjoyable meal. This is a place definitely worth the hangover.
Kea
A quiet and charming Island south of Athens, Kea is the perfect first stop after the stress of traveling to Greece. Swim, sunbathe and relax. This is just the beginning.
Paros
Paros is the island with something for everyone. Culture, history, good restaurants and beautiful beaches attract most island hoppers including those recovering from the excesses of Mykonos. Paros has three cruising beaches, a gay restaurant and a bar. The most memorable characteristic of Paros is simply its atmosphere. Many non-greeks have made their homes on Paros during the last thirty years purely because it is a difficult island to leave.
Santorini
The most spectacular of the cyclades, Santorini is an atoll shaped island with a sheer cliff face towering over a smoldering volcanic crater. The views, sunsets and architecture are only a few of characteristics which make Santorini unique. The ongoing excavations at Akrotiri,[the greek Pompeii], are a definite must along with a wine tasting tour of the islands famous vineyards. For the divas, the black sand of the lava beaches make a perfect background for the reclining sun worshiper. Bring your camera!
Mykonos
The most famous of the Cyclades, Mykonos is where the elite meet and is a place to be seen as much as to see. Nightclubs and beaches are packed with gay people from all over the world and the restaurants are second to none. If depleting your finances is the way to go, you will be afforded every assistance by amongst others Christian Dior, Donna Karen and Armani. For what ever turns you on, you will find the switch here. Just remember to allow a day or two to recover.
Naxos
Lying roughly in the middle of the Aegean Sea, Naxos is the largest of the Cycladic islands and the most fertile. Although famous for its Cycladic civilization, Naxos was also the main island of the Venetian "Duchy of the Archipelago" during
the Middle Ages. It is mountainous and dotted with ancient abandoned marble quarries, alongside two of which huge unfinished ancient giant-sized Kouros
figures still lie. A tour by car to the islands interior will take you to lush green valleys speckled with unspoiled sugercube villages. There you can sample the organic food and wines attributed to the longevity of the Naxians.
Delos
The sacred isle of the ancient world, Delos is still impressive to even those with little interest in archeology. The ruins cover a swathe of the island starting at the coast and climbing to its highest peak. One can see that in the ancient city, every known religion was represented and temples to different Gods stood one beside the other. It is a great pity that contemporary religions are not so progressive. The cyclades are so named because they surround Delos. Even today, if you climb the ancient steps to the islands summit, you feel that you are at the center of the world and nothing matters.
