Ports of Call

Athens (Piraeus), Greece

Piraeus is a sprawling, bustling port city that serves as your gateway to Athens. Let’s be clear: unless you have visited Athens multiple times, you should immediately leave the port area and head into the ancient city center. The journey takes 30 to 45 minutes. While taxis are plentiful at the terminal, the Athens Metro (accessible via a short walk or shuttle to Piraeus Station) is cheap, efficient, and bypasses the city's notorious traffic. Take the Green Line directly to Monastiraki or the Blue Line to Syntagma Square.

For first-time visitors, the Acropolis is non-negotiable, but it requires a strategy. During the Mediterranean summer, the marble steps are blindingly bright, brutally hot, and packed with crowds by 10:00 AM. Pre-book your timed-entry tickets well in advance, and make this your very first stop. After descending, head straight to the Acropolis Museum. It is a world-class, climate-controlled masterpiece built over an active archaeological excavation, offering context that the bare ruins on the hill cannot provide.

From there, the historic neighborhoods of Plaka and Monastiraki fan out below the Acropolis. Yes, they are heavily trafficked by tourists, but wandering the pedestrian lanes, browsing the Monastiraki Flea Market, and seeing the Ancient Agora (where Socrates actually walked) remains a spectacular way to spend an afternoon.

When it’s time for lunch, skip the restaurants with aggressive touts holding laminated menus on the main squares. Walk a few streets deeper into the Koukaki neighborhood (just south of the museum) or the upper edges of Plaka for authentic souvlaki, fresh Greek salads, and cold Assyrtiko wine.

If you have already conquered central Athens on a previous cruise, consider heading south along the Athens Riviera. A taxi can take you to Lake Vouliagmeni for a swim in its mineral-rich, thermal waters, or further down the coast to the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion, which offers some of the most dramatic coastal views in 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.

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.

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.

Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey

While Kusadasi serves as a pleasant, modern resort town, its primary significance for the traveler is its role as the gateway to Ephesus. This is not merely a collection of ruins; it is one of the best-preserved ancient metropolises in the Mediterranean, rivaling Pompeii in its ability to transport visitors back to the height of the Roman Empire. The site is vast, anchored by the iconic Library of Celsus and the Great Theatre, which once seated 25,000 spectators. Walking the marble Curetes Street allows you to trace the actual grooves left by ancient chariots.

For a truly immersive experience, we strongly advise securing tickets to the Terrace Houses. Located within the archaeological site but often requiring a separate entrance fee, these covered excavations reveal the domestic lives of the Ephesian elite. The preserved frescoes and intricate mosaics here offer an intimate counterpoint to the monumental public buildings outside and are well worth the extra cost.

From a practical standpoint, Ephesus demands preparation. The site offers very little shade, and the white marble reflects the intense summer heat. High-quality walking shoes are essential due to uneven, slippery surfaces. Beyond the ancient city, the House of the Virgin Mary offers a quiet, spiritual experience in the hills above, while the Basilica of St. John in nearby Selçuk provides further historical context.

Upon returning to the port, Kusadasi itself offers a functional, if commercial, conclusion to the day. The Grand Bazaar is famous for leather goods and Turkish rugs, though the sales tactics can be aggressive. For a more relaxed end to your visit, bypass the high-pressure shops for a seat along the waterfront promenade to enjoy a strong Turkish coffee and baklava while overlooking the Aegean.

Istanbul, Turkey

Istanbul is not just a city; it's an epic, a collision of continents and cultures that unfolds across seven hills. Arriving by sea offers a stunning introduction to its skyline of domes and minarets. A single day here is an intense, unforgettable immersion, and the key is to focus your time on the historic heart of the old city, the Sultanahmet district.

From the modern Galataport cruise terminal, the efficient T1 tram line provides a direct and scenic link to this UNESCO World Heritage site. Here, within a short walk of each other, stand the titans of history. The Hagia Sophia is an architectural marvel that has served as the spiritual center for two world religions; its immense dome and layered history are profoundly moving. As it is a functioning mosque, modest dress and head coverings for women are required for entry. Across the square, the Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet Camii) answers with its own soaring domes and a breathtaking interior of intricate Iznik tiles. Be aware that it is closed to visitors during the five daily prayer times.

Nearby, Topkapi Palace offers a glimpse into the opulent and secretive world of the Ottoman sultans. If time allows, prioritize the Harem section for its stunning chambers and stories. For a different kind of immersion, descend into the cool, atmospheric depths of the Basilica Cistern, an ancient underground reservoir supported by hundreds of marble columns. No visit is complete without experiencing the controlled chaos of the city's markets. The Grand Bazaar is a labyrinth of over 4,000 shops, a world unto itself, while the nearby Spice Bazaar is a more manageable assault on the senses with its fragrant mounds of spices, teas, and Turkish delight.

A day in Istanbul is a whirlwind. We advise choosing two or three of these major sites to explore thoroughly rather than rushing through them all. The experience is about absorbing the atmosphere—the call to prayer echoing through the streets, the scent of roasting chestnuts, the view of ferries crisscrossing the Bosphorus. It is a city that leaves a permanent mark, offering a powerful taste that will undoubtedly call you back for more.

At Sea - Cruising

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.

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.

  • Missed connecting flights
