perlgirlnj Posted June 7, 2011 #1 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Before we can figure out the specifics on what to do on a possible Turkish/Greek cruise, I've got to figure out what people do in general in these ports. My husband said to me, "What is there to do?" and I don't know the answer. Short of reading every single post, can people give me a general idea of what to do in these ports: (e.g. beaches, ancient sites, history, general sightseeing, etc.) Kos: Santorini: Mykonos: Aiginia: Thanks for a general idea of what these places are about.

mapleleaves Posted June 8, 2011 #2 Share Posted June 8, 2011 have you thought about borrowing some travel books from the library and learning what these places have to offer? There are even books specific to cruising. I bought "Mediterranean by Cruise Ship' by Ann Vipond. It provides info on the cruiselines, the ports, as well as interesting sights and activities. It was a great resource. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perlgirlnj Posted June 8, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I've got several books on request at the library but since time is short and CC'ers are a wonderful resource, I was hoping to get a head start on my research here. I've found both sources of info to be very helpful in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisemom42 Posted June 8, 2011 #4 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Santorini and Mykonos are covered in Cruise Critic's port articles section. Santorini: http://www.cruisecritic.com/ports/newport.cfm?ID=128 Mykonos: http://www.cruisecritic.com/ports/newport.cfm?ID=210 Can't help with the other two.....and it's kind of hard to answer such general questions.
