Windstar Cruises to Spend More Time in the Greek Isles in 2011

What do you think of Windstar Cruises spending more time in the Greek Isles in 2011?

Windstar, which operates three motor-sail-yachts—Wind Spirit, Wind Star, and Wind Surf—announced recently that the 312-passenger Wind Surf will join the 148-passenger Wind Spirit and Wind Star in Greece this summer.

Wind Surf sails six Greek Isles voyages departing July 16; July 23; September 24; October 1; October 8; and October 15, 2011.

Wind Star offers 18 Greek Isles voyages departing May 21; May 28; June 4; June 11; June 18; June 25; July 2; July 9; August 6; August 13; August 20; August 27; September 3; September 10; September 17; September 24; October 1; and October 8, 2011.

Wind Spirit Greek Isles voyages depart May 14; May 21; May 28; June 4; September 10; and September 17, 2011.

Ports visited on these sailings include Athens, Greece; Mykonos, Greece; Santorini, Greece; Rhodes, Greece; Bodrum, Turkey; Kuşadasi, Turkey; and Istanbul, Turkey.

This is interesting. These are gorgeous ports but I would suggest sailing early or late in the season. The last time I visited Turkey and Greece in July, it was unbearably hot and it was exhausting to tour all day.

I'd love to see Windstar sail a Northern Europe itinerary with a stop in St. Malo, France. That's a port on my "must visit soon" list.
