Creator's Key Takeaways

join us for a n night cruise through gree and turkey this one's been on our bucket list for quite some time

we're going to spend three days in Athens before we join the celebrity infinity and visit six ports a call

there's going to be history and culture and things are getting smashed oh and did we mention food there's plenty of food fun and friends in this trip of a lifetime

it's absolutely gorgeous the tour was a great idea self-directed would not have been nearly as interesting

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book a car service into Athens rather than take a taxi or train
βœ“Choose shoulder season to avoid peak tourism and get better hotel rates
βœ“Wear comfortable footwear for walking tours as there are many steps and it can be slippery

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Jet lag from long travel β€” Try to catch up on sleep and take a quick shower and nap after arriving
Crowds at the Acropolis β€” Go during shoulder season; even then, it can be congested but is better than summer months
