Athens, Greece port review

Athens, Greece
Shore Excursion and Port Reviews

Nancy LaChance
In Athens we decided to go to the Archeological Museum rather than on the more popular trip to the Acropolis. Much of the sculpture and art that was once in the ruins is in the museum along with artifacts and art from the ancient civilization of Thera, pre-volcano eruption – all awe-inspiring. I would have liked to have combined a trip to the museum with a tour of the Acropolis – the cruise line doesn’t offer this - but you can probably set that up on your own with people on line and that would represent the best of both worlds. We did manage to convince our Celebrity tour guide (we were a very small group) to detour and stop at the base of the Acropolis for a quick photo opp.

Athens itself is a large, modern city – the Acropolis looks like a misplaced prop in the midst of the traffic and noise.
