Our final island stop was Hydra. No cars. Just donkeys and foot traffic. We hiked to Kamini fishing village and walked around the port area. John bought a Greek shirt. Weather was ideal every single day and we never wore a jacket once.

Greece 2025--Santorini
Ahhhh... beautiful Santorini! Probably my favorite. The only way up to the city center is by cable car, donkey or walking 580 large stairs. We chose to walk up and take the cable car down. The freshly painted white buildings and the blues were breathtaking and the beach water was warm and calm.
My view of Santorini from our balcony room on the ship before dinner...
Greece 2025--Rhodes + Day at Sea
Rhodes was another island we visited and it had a Medieval village right at the port. We took a tour to a pottery factory, Lindos Beach and walked the Medieval city and shops.
Our one and only day at sea included a couple of outdoor movies, working out in the gym, massages, lots of sun and formal night with lobster dinner and baked Alaska.
Greece 2025--Turkey
One of my favorite ports--Kudasi, Turkey. We had a private tour to the ruins at Ephesus, House of the Virgin Mary, tours of a rug factory and pottery factory (where John got a hands-on demo), a typical Turkish lunch and back on the ship where John won a free shirt in the nightly lottery!

They take care of their cats. Little crates for them to sleep in are placed all over the grounds and food.

Big cruise ship lottery win :)
