Creator's Key Takeaways
Walk off the ship, hop on the hop on, hop off, and boom, the whole day is sorted.
Simple, cheap, zero stress. My favorite kind of port, land of olive oil, beaches, and Europe's oldest civilization, the Menowans.
They stood here for 4,000 years. The Manowans had plumbing, fresco, and courtyards while much of Europe was still figuring out the farming.
In an age when most women were invisible, the Manoans put them front and center 4,000 years ago.
