Greek Isle Vs Croatia which to choose!

[mvaccarelli01]

Both are on the celerity beyond, and I plan on getting to Italy 4-5 days early to explore different citys. I have never been to greece/turkey or Croatia. I am American and i would not be able to do both for a long time so if you had to pick which ports would you do if you only had one to pick!! need some expertise by people who have done these!

Rome - Messina - Mykonos - Athens - Itstanul - Epheses - Santorini - Naples - Rome

 

Rome - Olympia (Katakolon) - Corfu Greece - Dubrovnik - Bar - Split - Messina - Naples

It all comes down to personal choice but I would definitely choose the first cruise. Rome and Athens are brilliant but Istanbul is amazing. 

Both itineraries are great and you will enjoy them but I feel the first has more to offer.

Both are good itineraries but for a first time visit I would definitely choose the first one. Athens and Istanbul are great cities to visit and Santorini is beautiful. Leave Croatia for your next cruise.

Agree with both of the above. Ephesus is also amazing. I've lost count of the number of people who've said "I was so surprised about Ephesus!"

we thoroughly enjoyed Ephesus too. I believe its called the worlds largest outdoor museum. Virgin Mary's house is close by also, to be honest not much to see but glad we went.
