Eastern Med: Docked or Tender?

[CruiseCat99]

I cannot find information about whether or not our ship is docked for my upcoming cruise. I know it might depend on ships in port, etc, but want a general idea. Here are the ports:

 

Koper, Slovenia

Havr, Croatia

Kalamata, Greece

Santorini, Greece— I know tender here.

Mykonos, Greece

Kusadasi, Turkey

Chios, Greece

Nafplion, Greece

 

Thanks!!!

Based on our visits, Mykonos and Hvar will both be tenders

Nafplion was a tender in October 2014 when we visited on Silver Cloud. Odd because we thought the pier looked big enough for us to fit, and I didn't see other ships in port while we were there. Great stop with a ton of stuff to do in the vicinity, though we rented a car and went our on our own all day (see trip report for details if you want).

 

Kusadasi is a huge port and you should dock unless there are a dozen other ships hogging all the berths. We have docked every time (3x) and twice on ships bigger than SS - Oceania R-ships.

 

 

Nice itinerary! Enjoy.

Mykonos is definitely tender, as was Nafphion when we were there. Koper was docked.

Every time we have been to Mykonos, at least 4 times, we have docked.

Pray that you don’t dock in Mykonos CruiseCat99, because this will mean you’re at the new port. All the action is at the old port and a heck of a walk from the new port.

On our numerous visits to Mykonos, like Beaujolais, we have usually Docked ( Wind conditions permitting ) - our experience is that Silversea have always organised a Shuttle to the Old Town so the long walk is not mandatory.

Exactly! Google says it's only about a km from the new port to Old Town, but it sure looked further than that when we were there. We are standing on the hill just beyond Old Town in this picture. The Old Town is in the foreground. The ship on the left is ours, at anchor. The ship on the right is docked in port. Seems further than I'd want to walk. The tender drops you right at the Old Town.

Good to hear that they have a shuttle, because having to walk on those narrow roads without sidewalks would be a bit harrowing to me.
