It’s one of the scheduled stops on the train although you don’t have to get off the Fun Train. You could go directly to the beach if you wish. I thought the winery was beautiful and fun! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the Acropolis on our own. Our driver offered to meet us later for a two hour tour for $105 and we did it. Got to see a lot, ran some errands and a ride back to the ship. Our driver was a great guide with tons of info. Totally worth it! What destination did you choose when booking? there are so many Acropolis sites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where our ticket entrance was, the UNESCO site. Our driver dropped us at the base of a walkway which led upwards to the ticket booth. Probably a 8-10 minute walk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ninjacat123 Posted October 25, 2023 Author #682 Share Posted October 25, 2023 We are gaining an hour tonight. Yay, but I’m still tired. Tomorrow is Messina and we have a tour I found on TA going to « The Godfather « movie sites. I hope they don’t make me an offer I can’t refuse 🤣 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're a Game of Thrones fan, there are some wonderful tours in Split from when they filmed there. Plenty to see around port too. 13 hours ago, ninjacat123 said: Good morning Katakolon!! We are taking it slow today, possibly just wandering a bit. 36 degrees here in Charlotte this morning - I'd say that's a heatwave...lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Essiesmom Posted October 25, 2023 #686 Share Posted October 25, 2023 We visited Split twice, and found it quite interesting. Back when we were there is was a tender port (2012 $ 2013). But the tender let you off right in town. Understand there is a pier now, but it’s quite a walk to town. EM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKWildcatCruiser Posted October 25, 2023 #687 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Very interested in your Godfather tour - I'm looking to book one as well for a February cruise. I'm taking lots of notes of your trip so as we are going to many of the same ports and staying in Rome a few days so thank you for all the great info! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday at Katakolo was a loooooong walk to the ship, probably 15-20 minutes. All flat and we were moved thinking that this would be a great place for those pedicabs.🚲 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
