Easy Cruising -- In 2007, Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, the endlessly energetic Greek founder of easyJet and a myriad other "easy-" companies, added Greece to his easyCruise options. For detailed itineraries and prices, check out www.easycruise.com.
Booking Your Return Trip -- With virtually all of the hydrofoils and ferries that serve the Saronic Gulf islands, it is impossible to book a round-trip. As soon as you arrive at your island destination, head for the ticket office and book your return ticket. If you do not do this, you may end up spending longer than you planned -- or wished -- on one or more of the islands. At press time, both Minoan Flying Dolphins and Ceres Flying Dolphins had been absorbed by Hellenic Seaways (www.hellenicseaways.gr), the former Hellas Flying Dolphins, but there may be more ownership and name changes by the time you arrive.
