Default End of March too early for Greek Isle?

The time frame fits into my school break (I'm a teacher), but I am concerned that it might be too cold...any opinions about Silversea departing Athens March 28th?

Should we wait until next year when break is at the end of April?

Well, it won't be crowded, but it won't be swimming weather either. Might be a good time to cruise there without the huge crowds and hot, humid weather.

If your goal is to hang out at the beaches, it's too early. However, if your goal is to enjoy the beautiful scenery, perhaps see some ruins/history, and enjoy moderate weather without crowds, I'd go in a heartbeat.

Temps will be about 65F, rising quite steeply from the end of April. And rather less rain in April.
But I fear the month won't make a big difference to the crowds, if Easter comes early, so do the crowds - for much the same reasons as yours.
