By deTraci Regula, About.com

The trip starts on the Greek island of Kos and visits Leros and Kalymnos, with some other potential stops along the way. Check directly for this season's exact itinerary.
Get Personalized Instruction by an Expert:
Glenn Steiner has a stock photography and art photo company - he's shot in the Greek islands for years.
Sail the Greek Isles on a Small Yacht:
The vessel for this excursion through the Greek islands is an ample 49-foot yacht or similar sailboat.
A Picture-Perfect Trip?:
Feeling like lazing away a week on a Greek yacht cruise but want to be able to justify that much indulgence? Try combining it with this oh-so-strenuous photography tour of almost-unvisited Greek islands on Glenn Steiner's "Sail the Wine Dark Sea" trip.

This is a good example of how seeing Greece from the deck of a yacht can be cheaper than a big-ship cruise, though those have their pleasures as well.

Okay, so the US $2400 per person price doesn't cover the cost of airfare or dinners at the local island tavernas, but it does cover breakfast and lunch, photographic instruction and advice, your cabin, and the right to complain how hard you were studying on your vacation.

What's the downside? The destinations are picturesque in all senses, but rather remote. If your dream of visiting Greece has been to prance naked among the masses on the nude beaches of Mykonos, shop till you drop, or party hearty in a disco all night, this may not be the trip for you.

[ They also offer a number of related trips, including "In Search of the 'Real Greece' - Santorini, Thirasia & Anafi" and a beginner's Digital Intensive (filled for 2006).
