thank you so much for the wonderful information.

Thank you. I would not attempt to arrange my own port tours. Mainly asking what ports can we walk off the ship and explore on our own? I kind of want a balance of cruise line tours and exploring the real Europe on foot. I know Rome and Florence are out. I will do the excursions there. So far, it seems like Venice, Barcelona, Dubrovnik, Kotor, Mykonos and Barcelona will be good for self exploration. Probably Rome, Venice, Athens and Marseille are excursions. Question is, what will I miss by going those ports alone?

Thank you so much.

Thank you so very much. I have heard somewhat the same before, Venice, Dubrovnik and Kotor are better experienced on foot without assistance. I appreciate your response so much,

Good day everyone. We are considering a Mediterranean cruise this September. We are visiting many ports and would like a balance between cruise ship sponsored excursions, versus walk off the ship and experience on our own. Question is...of the following Ports of call, which are suitable for the do it yourself first time visitor? We are going to: Venice, Dubrovnik, Kotor, Athens, Mykonos, Naples, Rome, Florence, Provence and Barcelona. Which of these ports are we justified in skipping the excursion and exploring on our own? Thank you in advance for the assistance.
