Petenviv

We are on this cruise to celebrate our Golden 50th Wedding on 30th and of course the fireworks on NYE the next night...so either of those would be a good celebration night for us to dress up. Is it definitely a jacket for gents or will smart trousers and shirt do? I have mobility issues and wondered how far it is to walk from the ship up to town centre Avenida Arragia to see the Christmas lights and Market stalls etc. The tuktuks and taxis are not offering tours on that night. Maybe we'll see you all onboarf

Anyone have experience of using the disabled entrance with lift for Athens Acropolis....could a taxi driver take us straight there? Other advice for what best to see in Athens, Heraklion,( want to see Knossos) Rhodes, Mykonos for someone with walking difficulties but a passion for Ancient history. Thanks.

Thanks, yes we are going to Heraklion, and I particularly want to see Knossos so I'll look up the HOHO bus.

Visiting Mykonos, Rhodes, Crete P&O Arcadia late October. Are any of these accessible ( with walking stick/walking rollator) directly from shipside or alternatively are taxis readily available at the Port. Thank you

Hello fellow cruisers......time to start to think about Excursions for October. Never done Greek Islands before so any advice please for seeing a LOT with MINIMUM WALKING! I use a wheeled walking rolator which does fold right down like a child's buggy, but obviously is not much good on cobbles/ stones/sand etc or steps/stairs. We don't mind a hoho bus or similar or booking minibus type Independent tours ...but not at over £100 per person! Hope someone has some advice. The other 3 in our group of 4 use walking sticks...can only manage short distances without rests. We are on P&O Arcadia, thanks

Although I do not use a wheelchair I do usually use a rollator ( walker with wheels) which has a seat. I can mange some steps/stairs with a stick and walk approx 50m with stick but do need to sit frequently after each few minutes, also likely to fall behind a group going at speed. 2 questions....if I join organised tours can I fit my foldable walker with me and get it out at each stop, and also is it possible to actually push one over the ground of sites which are visited. We do like to see the usual sights and historical sites but can't really afford to pay for personal disabled tours at each port.
