mvaccarelli01 Posted April 26, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 26, 2023 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare dronnygirl Posted April 26, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 26, 2023 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.

PurpleTraveller Posted April 27, 2023 #3 Share Posted April 27, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisemom42 Posted April 27, 2023 #4 Share Posted April 27, 2023 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!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbdawg Posted May 10, 2023 #5 Share Posted May 10, 2023 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
