Thank you SO much! I've been slowly going through your live for all the tips and tricks. I greatly appreciate it.

You can google Joey bananas, they have tons of excursions, originally found them thru trip advisor (which owns this site).  The Kusadasi was thru Carnival.  You will not be displeased with either.  I have a Pride review of this cruise, it will give you a flavor for both.  If you cannot find it, I can provide a link.

I'd love the link if you don't mind! I am still extremely new to Cruise Critic (2 days) - Lol!

Kusadasi was THE highlight of the same cruise we did fall of 22.  OUTSTANDING.  The ruins tour was  off the charts, by far the largest ruins we have ever seen, and only 15% uncovered.  Highly recommend it.  We missed Mykonos due to windy and sea conditions.  Santorini we did wine testing and time up. In the village.  Echo the comments on Sicily.  In Naples, try an outside excursion fthru Joey Bananas to Sorrento, Positano, and Ravello with a lunch at la Tratoria.  You will not be disapponted.

How did you book Joey Bananas? Also who did you book your Kusadasi tour through?

Thank you SOOO much! Do you have the links for all the excursions you did? We seem to be interested in the same things, especially sight seeing.

Then we picked up wine for our room and took the SeaBus back to Pride.

Did you do a tour here or just explore on your own?

I need help - we have never done a Europe/Greece cruise and I need to know what is the best excursions to do in each port...

• Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey
• Mykonos
• Santorini
• Piraeus (Athens)
• Katakolon (Olympia)
• Messina, Sicily
• Naples (Amalfi/Pompeii)

I want to sight see as much as possible in each port. Thank you in advance!
