PORTS OF CALL

Venice, Italy

At Sea - Cruising

Olympia (Katakolon), Greece

Katakolon is a small, pleasant port town whose primary purpose is to serve as the gateway to one of the most significant sites of the ancient world: Olympia. A 30-40 minute journey inland brings you to the birthplace of the Olympic Games, a sprawling archaeological park where you can walk in the literal footsteps of the first athletes.

The site itself is a stirring landscape of fallen columns and foundational stones. Key highlights include the ruins of the massive Temple of Zeus, once home to a wondrous statue that was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the Temple of Hera, where the Olympic flame is still lit for the modern games. The most evocative experience is standing on the starting line of the original stadium, a simple packed-earth track where history feels palpably close.

Adjacent to the ruins, the Archaeological Museum of Olympia is essential. It is not a minor provincial gallery but a world-class institution housing masterpieces of Greek sculpture, including the breathtaking Hermes of Praxiteles and the pediments from the Temple of Zeus.

After immersing yourself in antiquity, the town of Katakolon offers a gentle return to the present. Its waterfront is lined with cafes and tavernas, perfect for a quiet moment with a coffee or a glass of local wine, reflecting on the history you’ve just witnessed before returning to your ship.

Santorini, Greece

Santorini is every bit as breathtaking as the postcards suggest; its sun-bleached villages clinging to volcanic cliffs are a sight you won’t forget. However, as your advocates, we want you to know that a successful day here requires a smart plan. Your ship will anchor in the magnificent caldera, and you’ll tender to the small port at the base of the cliffs below the main town of Fira. From here, you have three options to ascend: a cable car (expect long lines), a strenuous walk up 588 steps, or a donkey ride.

Our advice is to have a strategy. To bypass the initial bottleneck, consider a ship-sponsored tour or a pre-booked private excursion that arranges your transport. Once atop the cliffs, the island is yours to explore. The village of Oia is the crown jewel, famous for its blue-domed churches and labyrinthine pathways. It is undeniably stunning, but be prepared to share its beauty with many fellow admirers. For a different perspective, the main town of Fira offers its own dramatic views, excellent shopping, and wonderful cafes.

For those seeking a deeper cultural experience, the remarkably preserved Bronze Age settlement of Akrotiri—often called the “Minoan Pompeii”—is a world-class archaeological site. Alternatively, for a more relaxed pace, consider a tour of one of the island's unique wineries to sample the crisp, local Assyrtiko wine while enjoying the caldera views. Santorini isn't a port for casual wandering; it's a world-class destination that rewards planning. With the right approach, its dramatic beauty is truly unforgettable.

Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey

Let’s be direct: the port of Kusadasi serves one primary, magnificent purpose—it is the gateway to Ephesus, one of the most complete and awe-inspiring ancient cities in the world. This isn't just another set of ruins; it's a sprawling metropolis of marble streets, temples, and public buildings that vividly brings the Roman Empire to life. The iconic facade of the Library of Celsus is just the beginning. You'll stand in the Great Theatre, which once held 25,000 spectators, and trace the chariot grooves in the pavement.

For a truly remarkable experience, we strongly recommend paying the extra entrance fee for the Terrace Houses. These covered excavations reveal the lavish homes of Ephesus's wealthiest citizens, complete with stunning mosaics and frescoes, offering an intimate look at daily life that is often missing from other ancient sites. It’s an absolute must for anyone with a genuine interest in history.

A word of practical advice: Ephesus is vast, offers little shade, and has uneven surfaces. Comfortable walking shoes, a hat, and water are non-negotiable, especially in the summer months. Beyond the main site, you can also visit the quiet, contemplative House of the Virgin Mary, a significant pilgrimage destination, or the ruins of the Basilica of St. John.

Back in Kusadasi, the town itself is a bustling, modern resort. While it lacks the historical weight of its famous neighbor, its waterfront promenade is perfect for a relaxing stroll and a strong Turkish coffee. The bazaar offers a lively, if sometimes intense, shopping experience for carpets and leather goods. Think of Kusadasi as the functional, pleasant base for an unforgettable journey back in time.

Mykonos, Greece

Mykonos is the quintessential Cycladic island, and while its nightlife is legendary, a day visit reveals its more profound charms. Your first priority should be an unscripted exploration of Mykonos Town (Chora). This is where the island’s magic truly resides. Allow yourself to get lost in the labyrinth of narrow, whitewashed alleyways, where vibrant bougainvillea spills over balconies and every turn reveals a hidden chapel, a chic boutique, or a welcoming café. The goal isn’t a specific destination, but the joy of the wander itself.

Eventually, your path will lead you to the island’s most iconic sights. Make your way to the Kato Mili (Lower Windmills), a row of 16th-century windmills standing sentinel on a hill overlooking the sea—the classic postcard view. Just below, you’ll find the waterfront neighborhood of “Little Venice,” where colorful, Venetian-style houses with wooden balconies hang directly over the water. It’s a perfect spot for a coffee or a light lunch while watching the waves crash just feet away.

For those with a deep interest in history, we cannot overstate the importance of the nearby island of Delos. A short ferry ride away, this UNESCO World Heritage site is one of the most significant archaeological sites in Greece, the mythological birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. A half-day excursion here offers a profound glimpse into the ancient world. For beach lovers, while Mykonos has famous shores like Paradise and Super Paradise, reaching them requires a bus or taxi. A more time-efficient option might be the closer, family-friendly beaches of Ornos or Platis Gialos. Mykonos delivers a brilliant, energetic, and stunningly beautiful day in port.

Athens (Piraeus), Greece

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.

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.

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.

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.

Corfu, Greece

Corfu distinguishes itself from its Cycladic cousins with a lush, green landscape and a cultural identity deeply colored by centuries of Venetian, French, and British influence. This is immediately apparent upon entering its UNESCO-listed Old Town, a captivating labyrinth of narrow, cobbled lanes (kantounia) that open onto elegant squares. The town is anchored by two formidable fortresses: the Old Fortress, perched on a rocky promontory, offers panoramic views and a tangible sense of history, while the New Fortress looms over the old port.

The heart of social life is the Liston, a graceful arcade of cafés modeled on Paris's Rue de Rivoli, facing the vast Spianada square—one of the largest in Europe. It’s the perfect place to pause for a coffee or a local ginger beer (tsitsibira) and observe the rhythm of the city. For a deeper cultural dive, the Church of Saint Spyridon, with its striking bell tower, houses the relics of the island's patron saint.

While the Old Town can easily fill a day, those seeking coastal beauty can venture to Paleokastritsa (a 30-40 minute drive), renowned for its dramatic cliffs and emerald coves. Alternatively, the Achilleion Palace, built for an Austrian empress, provides a glimpse into 19th-century royal life amid beautiful gardens. Corfu offers a rich, layered experience, blending grand European architecture with the warm hospitality and stunning scenery of the Ionian Sea.

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
