Creator's Key Takeaways

I have been waiting years for this moment and despite the crowds (and not knowing we needed to buy a ticket before hand) it was a fabulous day.

we almost missed the ship they literally called us when we were screaming through the parking lot trying to get back to the ship

it was a fabulous Tor even though it was a easy peasy just bed at the gate

in the future if the bus isn't coming we'll just pay for a taxi and get back to the port

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Pre-book tickets for the Acropolis to avoid long lines and sold-out times.
βœ“If bus service is unreliable, take a taxi back to the port to avoid missing the ship.
βœ“Use Facebook groups specific to your sailing for port tips and questions.
