I live in Turkey & the cherries are more expensive here to buy! That is so strange… because I was told that Turkey is number 1 producer of cherries in the world so I would think it would be even cheaper there. I am staying close to the Central Market which is also close to the fruit market which probably why it is so cheap. I mean 0.99E per kilo that’s like $0.50 per pound. Back at home it is about $3.99-$4.99 per pound. I went through Viator because of the USD to Euro conversion was very favorable. The price was going down it was crazy. Go with the street food tour with lunch option… it is a great tour. You can do 1:30 PM or the one around 5:30PM. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BennyBrun Posted July 30, 2022 Author #102 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Pre Cruise Acropolis … I got up early so I can get there before 9:30 AM to beat the crowd and the sun. Also use the the South side entrance by the Acropolis Museum… the line the much shorter and you get to see more before your climb. I walked from the Moxy and it took about 24 minutes. You can take the Metro to the Acropolis station. The Metro is the way to go! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BennyBrun Posted July 30, 2022 Author #103 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Acropolis Buy your ticket in advance to save time. Don’t get fooled by the skip the line some of the vendor advertises… there is no separate skip the line entry at the South Entrance… what you are skipping is the line to buy tickets. There is a separate line that you go through to scan the tickets. I got in less than 5 minutes with my combo ticket. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BennyBrun Posted July 30, 2022 Author #110 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) Acropolis… back to the climb up … you really have to pay attention because the rocks are slippery even though it’s dry…uneven spaces… it’s not a theme park.
