We stayed in Venice for 4 days before and a day after our cruise.

Wonderful to do on your own at your own pace if you have the time.

See the main sites: San Marco, Doge's Palace, Rialto bridge and area, Accademia and the Guggenheim Museum. You keep walking, and you will discover another area of Venice you missed. If you can visit Murano and Burano. Do a gondola ride!

Beautiful place. Must see as you entertaining port. Easy to navigate on your own. There are always taxis as you walk out of terminal if you want to explore some place.

Beautiful, tiny island. Just explore to get a feel of this place.

We arranged our own tour with PK travel. Much more reasonable, than ship tour. It was over 5 hour tour. We had 1 1/2 to explore the Acropolis. Our driver had our tickets so we had no line to wait for. We watched the changing of the guards. We were shown the many other main sites, with the option of where we wanted to stop. We were taken to a high point of Athens where you could see the the whole of Athens. An authentic Greek restaurant was recommended for a bite-excellent. And a bit of free time at the Plaka.

Athens is huge-you need a guide and someone to navigate the streets.

Beautiful clear waters.

Lovely place to explore on your own.

Be prepared everything is much more expensive on this island than all the others.

Loved this beautiful place. Charming town. Great food. Clear waters. Again explore on your own. See the large turtles that swim close to the surface of the water.

Shops close in the early afternoon for siesta.
