	Katakolon Port Rating: Not much to do except for the Ruins at Olympia but they are amazing. The tours through NCL are great. A lot of walking and steps for the best tours so be prepared. All seem a little pricey but with gas at 10 to 12 $$ per gal I can see why. All the sites are a good drive from the port.

	Istanbul Blue Mosque Rating: Need to take your shoes off while in the Mosque. All carpeted. Beautiful inside Bosphorus Cruise Rating: Was cold so cant say how it would be in better weather. Get to see both sides. Embark in Europe and get off in Asia. How cool is that! Grand Bazaar Rating: Too many stores with the same stuff. Have to bargain. Never know if you are really getting a good deal but worth the time to see it Hagia Sofia Rating: Part of out 2 day tour. Breathtaking! Spice Market Rating: Interesting place..part of the complete tour we took Underground Cistern Rating: Absolutely Amazing! Best Guide during entire cruise

	Naples National Archeological Museum Rating: Same as the other museum. If we did it again would not go the museum route but for first timers I thing you need to do the museums to get the full picture of how old these sites really are and how amazing the site really are. Pompeii Walking Tour Rating: Amazing site. Going back in time. A wonderful tour. Lots of walking
