Italy & Best Of Greek Islands

Ports of Call

Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy

April 2018 Instameet shoot,  social media influencer Mark Grado, Rome, Italy, Colosseum, amphitheater, trees, ancient ruins, arena, people passing by, historic, culture
Civitavecchia serves a singular purpose: it is the industrial gateway to Rome. The Eternal City lies roughly 75 to 90 minutes away by road or rail, making your time ashore a logistical challenge that rewards strategy over spontaneity. We cannot overstate the importance of this commute; treat the journey as a tactical necessity to access one of the most culturally dense cities on earth.

With a typical port day, attempting to see 'everything' guarantees nothing but exhaustion. We strongly recommend curating your day around one of three distinct tracks to ensure a quality experience.
April 2018 Instameet shoot,  social media influencer Jeven Dovey, two women, friends talking, having fun in Rome, Italy, Colosseum in soft focus in background


First, the Imperial Track. Focus on the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. Walking the Via Sacra offers a tangible connection to the origins of Western law and governance. However, admission lines here can consume hours; pre-purchased, timed-entry tickets are not optional—they are essential.

Second, the Vatican Track. St. Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museums hold an overwhelming concentration of artistic wealth. Standing beneath Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel ceiling is profound, but the crowds are equally intense. Strict dress codes (shoulders and knees covered) are enforced, and guided access is the only way to navigate the vast collections efficiently within a limited window.

Third, the Centro Storico. For those who prefer atmosphere over checklists, a walking tour of the historic center offers a more relaxed pace. Start at the Pantheon—the world’s best-preserved ancient building—then wander to Piazza Navona and the Trevi Fountain. This approach allows time for a proper Roman lunch. Avoid restaurants directly facing major monuments; walk two streets back to find authentic cacio e pepe or carciofi alla giudia (Jewish-style artichokes). A rushed sandwich does a disservice to Italian culinary heritage, whereas a seated meal offers a necessary respite from the sensory overload.

Regardless of your choice, Rome demands respect for the clock. Always build a significant buffer for your return trip to Civitavecchia to ensure a stress-free conclusion to a spectacular day.

This historic 18th-century landmark is a must-see shore excursion for cruise passengers visiting the Eternal City from Civitavecchia.

Sicily (Messina), Italy

Messina serves as the bustling gateway to eastern Sicily’s most celebrated treasures, offering a compelling choice between iconic excursions and authentic city life. For many, the primary draw is Taormina, a stunning hilltop town that lives up to its reputation. Its Greco-Roman theater offers one of the world's great views, framing the Ionian Sea and the often snow-capped peak of Mount Etna. Beyond the theater, Taormina’s charm unfolds along the Corso Umberto, a pedestrian-only street lined with chic boutiques, cafes, and hidden courtyards leading to breathtaking coastal overlooks.

For a more elemental experience, an excursion to Mount Etna reveals the raw power of Europe's most active volcano. Ascending its slopes, the landscape transforms into a stark, lunar-like environment of black lava rock and volcanic craters. Wineries thriving in the fertile, mineral-rich soil on the volcano's lower flanks offer tastings that provide a literal taste of the terroir.

However, Messina itself should not be overlooked. It presents a grittier, more workaday Sicilian reality. The city’s heart is the Piazza del Duomo, home to a magnificent Norman cathedral and the world's largest astronomical clock. Be sure to arrive just before noon to witness the captivating spectacle as its gilded bronze figures animate to tell stories from the city’s history. A short walk from the port, you can savor classic Sicilian street food like arancini or a refreshing granita, experiencing a slice of local life far from the polish of Taormina. Messina offers a genuine crossroads: choose world-famous beauty or stay for a taste of an authentic port city.

At Sea - Cruising

Santorini, Greece

Santorini, Greece, woman on balcony holding little girl, mother and daughter, Europe, blues and white, rooftops with crosses in background,
Santorini delivers the visual drama promised by travel brochures, with whitewashed villages spilling down the sides of a massive volcanic caldera. It is spectacular, but it is also one of the most logistically challenging ports in the Mediterranean. Understanding the arrival process is critical to enjoying your day. Ships anchor in the caldera, tendering passengers to a small dock at the base of the cliffs. From there, you face a bottleneck: a low-capacity cable car, a grueling 600-step climb, or donkeys (which we generally discourage due to animal welfare and sanitary concerns).
Family walking in Oia Village in Santorini, Greece, family fun, shoreline cliffs in background, seaside town,


To maximize your time and minimize frustration, we strongly recommend arranging a boat transfer to Oia or a pre-booked excursion that includes transportation from the tender pier. This strategy bypasses the initial cable car queue, which can consume hours of your morning. Once you have ascended, the island offers distinct experiences. Oia, on the northern tip, is the famous "postcard" village with blue-domed churches and marble streets. It is undeniably beautiful but frequently overwhelmed by crowds; visit early or late if possible. Fira, the capital, offers similar views with more bustle, museums, and shopping, serving as the central hub for the return descent.

For a reprieve from the congestion, the archaeological site of Akrotiri offers a world-class window into the Bronze Age, preserved under volcanic ash. Alternatively, the island’s viticulture is unique; vines are basket-woven low to the ground to survive the wind. Visiting a local estate to taste crisp, volcanic Assyrtiko wine provides a sophisticated, relaxing counterpoint to the busy towns. Santorini is a destination that rewards preparation; with the logistics managed, the views are truly unparalleled.

Athens (Piraeus), Greece

A panoramic view of the ancient Acropolis of Athens, Greece, rising above a lush canopy of green trees. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a premier shore excursion destination for cruise passengers docking in the nearby port of Piraeus.
Let’s be direct: your arrival at the port of Piraeus is purely functional. It’s a massive, bustling commercial hub, and its primary virtue is its proximity to Athens, the cradle of Western civilization. A day here is an incredible opportunity, but it requires a smart plan.
Couple walking atop the Acropolis near the Erecthion


Your first priority is getting into the city center efficiently. The metro (Green Line 1 from Piraeus station) is a direct and affordable option that bypasses all traffic. Taxis are plentiful, but be sure to agree on a fare or insist on using the meter to avoid surprises. Once in Athens, the Acropolis is the day's non-negotiable centerpiece. Seeing the Parthenon preside over the city is a profound experience that connects you directly to 2,500 years of history, philosophy, and art. We strongly advise pre-booking your tickets online to save precious time you’d otherwise spend in a queue under the Greek sun.
Couple walking atop the Acropolis near the Erecthion


After descending from the Acropolis, the modern Acropolis Museum awaits at its base. This stunningly designed space provides essential context for what you’ve just seen, housing the original artifacts in a climate-controlled, brilliantly curated environment. From there, immerse yourself in the Plaka, the city’s oldest neighborhood. This labyrinth of cobblestone streets, draped in bougainvillea, is where you’ll find the true Athenian spirit. It’s the perfect place to find a traditional taverna for a leisurely lunch of classic Greek dishes.

Our best advice for a port day in Athens is to be strategic. Don’t try to see everything. Focus on the Acropolis, its museum, and a wonderful meal in the Plaka. By doing so, you will have experienced the profound essence of the city, rather than just rushing past its landmarks. Wear comfortable shoes, stay hydrated, and prepare for an unforgettable immersion into the foundations of our world.

Mykonos, Greece

Mykonos, Greece
Mykonos serves as the archetype of the Cyclades: blinding white cubic architecture set against the deep blue Aegean. While the island’s reputation rests on its glitzy nightlife, the daytime experience offers a distinct, sophisticated charm if navigated correctly. Your priority should be the labyrinthine Chora (Mykonos Town). We advise disembarking early to beat the midday crush. The winding, whitewashed streets were originally designed to confuse pirates; today, they offer a delightful aimlessness. Allow yourself to wander off the busy Matoyianni Street to discover quieter corners, hidden chapels, and bougainvillea-draped balconies where the island’s authentic character remains.
Mykonos, Greece


Navigate toward the waterfront to witness the iconic Kato Mili (windmills) standing sentinel on the hill. Just below lies Little Venice, where medieval houses with colorful balconies hover directly over the sea. It is the prime location for a coffee or cocktail, though be prepared for premium pricing that reflects the world-class view.
Mykonos, Greece


For our clients with a deep interest in history, Mykonos is the gateway to something far more significant: Delos. A short ferry ride away, this UNESCO World Heritage site is the mythological birthplace of Apollo and Artemis and one of the most important archaeological sites in the Mediterranean. If you prioritize ancient history over high-end shopping, a guided excursion here is non-negotiable.

If a beach day is preferred, manage your expectations regarding crowds and cost. The famous Paradise Beach is high-energy; for a more refined, family-friendly atmosphere, Ornos or Platis Gialos are superior choices, accessible via local bus or water taxi. Finally, a logistical note: if your ship docks at the New Port (Tourlos) rather than tendering, the local SeaBus is the most efficient transfer to the town center, bypassing the often-gridlocked taxi queues.

Rhodes, Greece

Rhodes, Greece
Rhodes offers one of the most compelling arrivals in the Mediterranean. Your ship docks directly beside the monumental stone walls of its Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe. The primary experience here is simply to get lost within its labyrinthine, cobblestone streets.

The main artery is the Street of the Knights, a remarkably intact medieval thoroughfare leading to the imposing Palace of the Grand Master. This fortress-palace, rebuilt by the Italians in the 20th century, offers a glimpse into the lives of the Knights of St. John with its grand halls and Hellenistic mosaics. The nearby Archaeological Museum, housed in the former Hospital of the Knights, provides further context to the island's rich history.
Rhodes, Greece


For those seeking classical antiquity, a short taxi ride uphill leads to the Acropolis of Rhodes on Monte Smith, where the remains of a Temple of Apollo, a stadium, and a small theater offer panoramic views over the city and sea. The Mandraki Harbour, where the legendary Colossus of Rhodes is said to have stood, is now a pleasant waterfront promenade marked by statues of deer.

Many are tempted by the famous village of Lindos, with its whitewashed houses and clifftop acropolis. It is undeniably stunning, but be aware that the one-hour drive each way, combined with significant crowds, will consume the majority of your day. A choice must be made: a deep, immersive exploration of the magnificent Old Town, or a dedicated excursion to Lindos. For a truly rewarding day, embracing the historical tapestry at your feet in Rhodes Town is often the more satisfying option.

Chania (Souda), Crete, Greece

Cruise ships arrive at the modern port of Souda, a short taxi or local bus ride from the true destination: the enchanting city of Chania. The city’s soul is its magnificent 14th-century Venetian Harbor, a stunning crescent of pastel-hued townhouses, waterfront cafes, and the iconic Egyptian lighthouse standing guard at its entrance. While the harbor front is perfect for a scenic stroll, the real magic lies within the labyrinthine alleys of the Old Town directly behind it.

Allow yourself to get lost in the narrow, bougainvillea-draped lanes of the Topanas and Evraiki (Jewish) quarters, where you’ll discover hidden courtyards, artisan workshops, and beautifully preserved Venetian and Ottoman architecture. The imposing Firkas Fortress at the harbor's edge houses the Maritime Museum and offers commanding views of the sea and cityscape. For an authentic taste of the island, visit the recently renovated Municipal Market (Agora), a vibrant cross-shaped hall where vendors sell local cheeses, honey, herbs, and olive oil.

For lunch, we recommend bypassing the busiest harbor-front establishments and seeking out a traditional taverna tucked away on a side street for more authentic Cretan cuisine. Chania is not a port for ticking off a list of grand monuments; it is a destination to be savored. It’s a place for aimless wandering, enjoying a strong Greek coffee, and immersing yourself in the atmosphere of one of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful and historic towns.

Naples, Italy

The colorful coastal town of Atrani, Italy, seen from its beach on the Amalfi Coast. The historic architecture, featuring arched stone viaducts and the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Maddalena, is set against a mountain backdrop under a clear blue sky.
Naples is a destination that demands a choice: do you dive into the chaotic, vibrant heart of the city, or use it as a strategic launchpad for the world-class treasures surrounding it? As a port of call, Naples offers an embarrassment of riches, but the sheer volume of options requires a disciplined itinerary. The most critical advice we can offer is to resist the urge to do everything; traffic in Campania is notorious, and overpacking your day often leads to stress rather than enjoyment.
April 2018 Instameet shoot,  social media influencer Mark Grado, Naples, Italy, street food on table, sweets, pastries, iced drinks, hand reaching for croissant


For history enthusiasts, the primary draw is the shadow of Mount Vesuvius. Pompeii remains the headline attraction, offering a sprawling, visceral look at Roman life frozen in time. However, we often direct clients toward the smaller, better-preserved site of Herculaneum. Because it was buried in mud rather than ash, Herculaneum retains multi-story buildings and wooden elements that perished in Pompeii, all within a footprint that is much easier to navigate in a few hours.
April 2018 Instameet shoot,  social media influencer Jeven Dovey, town of Naples, Italy, at sunset, dusk, evening, buildings, hillside, orange, purple, and blue colors,


If you prefer coastal glamour, the Bay of Naples is your gateway. A high-speed hydrofoil can transport you to the Isle of Capri, famous for the Blue Grotto and high-end boutiques, though be mindful of summer crowds. Alternatively, the cliffside town of Sorrento offers a refined, relaxed atmosphere perfect for a leisurely lunch of fresh seafood and limoncello. While the Amalfi Coast is spectacular, we advise caution when attempting it on a cruise stop; the winding roads are breathtaking but slow, leaving little room for error in your return schedule.

Should you choose to stay in Naples itself, prepare for an experience that is gritty, loud, and profoundly authentic. The historic center, Spaccanapoli, is a UNESCO World Heritage site teeming with baroque churches and hidden courtyards. The National Archaeological Museum is essential viewing, as it houses the actual mosaics and artifacts removed from the excavation sites. Finally, this is the birthplace of pizza. Skipping a meal at a historic pizzeria here would be a missed cultural imperative.

Why Protect your Trip?

Whether you’re planning your next trip or you recently booked one, travel insurance can help smooth over many unexpected travel glitches—while putting your mind at ease, knowing you’re off the hook for covered expenses that could arise from them.

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can provide you benefits and professional support when a covered situation comes up before or during your trip. The following examples may qualify for benefits:

  • Cancelling your trip after unexpectedly becoming too sick to travel
  • Taking care of a sick or injured traveling companion
  • Having to end your trip early due to a family emergency
  • Dealing with a flight delay or cancellation
  • Needing to buy personal items if your luggage is lost or stolen
  • Missing your cruise departure after a covered flight delay

You also can contact our travel protection partner Allianz Global Assistance’s 24/7, award-winning customer service for on-the-go assistance with issues like a medical emergency, replacing your lost passport, or making reservations around the world. To be eligible for a time-sensitive waiver of pre-existing medical condition exclusions, purchase your travel insurance plan within 14 days of initial trip deposit (other purchase requirements and conditions apply). Specific plan benefits may vary. Please review your plan details for more information.

What Can Travel Insurance Help Protect?

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can protect you before and during your trip—keeping you, your loved ones, and your travel budget safer. Benefits vary by plan, and these are brief descriptions. Please read your plan documents for details.

TRIP CANCELLATION

Reimburses your prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses if you need to cancel your trip due to a covered reason, such as you, a family member, or traveling companion experiencing a covered illness or injury. Examples include:

  • A doctor says you or a traveling companion is too sick to fly
  • Your parent or child requires hospitalization
  • You need to attend the birth of a family member’s child
  • You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport
  • A storm shuts down your airport for 24 hours or more

TRIP INTERRUPTION

Reimburses your unused, non-refundable travel expenses and increased transportation costs during your trip if you have to return home early due to a covered reason, for instance when a family member has a qualifying medical emergency and needs your care. Examples include:

  • You have a covered illness or injury and a doctor says you must return home
  • A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
  • A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable

TRAVEL DELAY

If you have a covered delay while traveling, travel insurance can reimburse you for meals, accommodations, and transportation expenses when your trip is delayed for a minimum number of consecutive hours for a covered reason. Minimum number of hours varies by plan.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE

Reimburses your expenses related to covered medical and dental emergencies* that might occur on your trip. This benefit can be especially helpful if you have a covered emergency outside the United States, as most health insurance policies won’t cover you outside the country. Examples include:

  • You slip and break your ankle while sightseeing
  • You get food poisoning while sampling the local cuisine
  • You lose a filling and need immediate dental treatment*

*A sublimit and maximum apply for this benefit. Check your plan documents for details.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION

Arranges and pays for medically necessary transportation following a covered injury or illness to the nearest appropriate medical facility to receive care and get you home after treatment.

BAGGAGE LOSS, DAMAGE, or THEFT

Reimburses the replacement of your lost, damaged, or stolen luggage and personal items while traveling.

BAGGAGE DELAY

Reimburses essential items purchased during your trip if your baggage is delayed for a minimum number of hours (varies by plan).

CHANGE FEE

Reimburses fees if you need to change your flight itinerary due to a covered reason.

24-HOUR ASSISTANCE

Provides around-the-clock support during your trip. Allianz Global Assistance’s staff of multilingual problem solvers can help you with medical, legal, and travel-related emergencies whenever they happen. Medical assistance may include, but is not limited to:

  • Medical triage with referrals to local prescreened medical providers
  • Ongoing medical monitoring
  • Payment guarantee
  • Emergency medical transportation

Additional services for travel-related emergencies can help with:

  • Missed connecting flights
  • Lost/stolen travel documents
  • Pre-trip information
  • Prescription replacements
