Creator's Key Takeaways

This was the end of our five week adventure. So, we were on for five nights. Seven nights. Seven.

We were on this cruise to get to Greece. That was the only we weren't here to party and do all this.

We made it to Mkos, Greece, which was super exciting.

I can't wait to get back to Greece. It was a bucket list of mine and I can't believe we did it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book an excursion for Athens as the port is far from the city.
Use the Fabria bus station in Mykonos to get to beaches.
Budget for beach chairs in Mykonos as there's no other way to sit.
Get priority tender tickets if you're a Gold MSC Club member.
