Enjoyed walking around the town. Nice friendly cafes and shops. Great baklava! Too windy and cool for the beach, and not much going on there anyway in Oct apparently.

Mykonos

Did a tour of Ephesus and Sirince village with Ephesus Deluxe. Great tour guide for a reasonable price. Kusadasi was a pleasant surprise. Enjoyed the bazaar and pleasant shoreline. The area reminded me of California, with dry comfortable climate and eucalyptus trees everywhere.

Kusadasi

Did the usual crowded tourist sites, then spent the evening seeing the Taksim Square/Istiklal Caddesi (pedestrian mall) area where the locals spend their evenings. Very interesting to spend time strolling among the locals in the more modern area of Istanbul. Also saw the Suleyman Mosque - very different from the Blue Mosque, but very beautiful and not crowded with tourists.

Istanbul

Enjoyed the Acropolis, Agora, and Plaka area in our limited time. We did the "Athens On Your Own Transfer" shore excursion where the bus took us near the Acropolis, dropped us off, then picked us up 4 1/2 hours later. We enjoyed Athens more than we thought we would.

Athens (Piraeus)

Gorgeous! We got up early, got off the ship ASAP, rode the cable car, and walked to the Fira bus stop to catch the 8:30 bus to Oia. That allowed us to spend 4 hours in Oia before heading back to Fira. Oia is one of the most stunningly beautiful places I have ever been.

Santorini

After encouragement from Rick Steves (books and podcasts), we decided to live dangerously and walk up Via Toledo to the Archaeological Museum to see the Pompeii art and mosaics, then stroll along Spaccanapoli (ancient narrow street from Greek and Roman times that bisected Naples). We returned to the ship via Corso Umberto, stopping along the way for some authentic Naples pizza and other tasty treats. We had a good time and while remaining cautious, we felt very safe. Sure there's lots of trash and graffiti everywhere. But there are also lots of beautiful buildings, street markets, good pizza, interesting shops, and lots of stuff to see. We're glad we did it. It was overall a good experience.

Naples

6267 - Great cabin. Very well designed, especially the bathroom. Loved the spacious shower. Very comfortable bed. Lots of storage room. Nice comfortable balcony size. As for the partially obstructed view. I'd do it again if the price difference was big to get a higher deck. With a small price difference, I'd choose a cabin on a higher deck.

Exceptions: Moroccan lamb with couscous dish I had the first night was super, the corvina dish was very nice and flavorful, and the beef tenderloin and lobster at the end of the cruise was very good.Without going into exhaustive detail, here are my overall impressions:

Cabin - This was the best designed cruise ship cabin we have stayed in.
