Traveled with children

We were looking for an itinerary that sails from Venice so this was a perfect fit. While exploring the options we found the only cabin available was aft facing balcony and we grabbed it.

We reached venice two days before the sailing shaken with the news of floods in venice. We reached during high tide and were advised at the ticket booth to take alilaguna water taxi to reach San Mark Square. San Mark square was flooded (the water was just below knee length) and our hotel was just behind the square. We had to buy disposable rain shoes (10 euros each) and hire a porter (for 30 euros) for the laguage.

We we were all settled by evening. Water had receded and venice was more beautiful. We had a stroll on the square and the waterfront. Had an amazing seafood pizza at Leoncini.

Lovely city..my favourite!!

Kotor

We particularly liked the Lipa cave exploration.

Corfu

The palace was ordinary. There was a long queue for boarding the ship when we returned.

Mykonos

The sea was very rough at at Mykonos. At the old harbour where the ship of tendered very few shops were open. We we had lunch at a charming place called Maria's Restaurant. It was very windy and cold.

Argostoli (Kefalonia)

We visited Melissani cave, Sami village and some museum in Argostoli.
