Turning 60 meant completing a few bucket list items and Greece has always been one of the top destinations on the list! John and I flew to Athens in our Premium Select bulkhead seats which allowed for lots of legroom, deeper inclined seating for sleeping and all the food and drink amenities we needed. We went a few days early so we could explore Athens before getting on the ship.
After arrival in Athens we went straight to our hotel--nicest in the city--Hotel Grande Bretagne--which was right across the street from the Parliament building where we could watch the changing of the guard. After checking in we went to the Plaka area for dinner and explored Athens.
The next couple of days before we got on our Celebrity cruise ship we went on a tour of the Acropolis and the Acropolis museum, took a street food tour and met a couple going on our exact cruise, and went on a hop on/hop off bus around Athens to historic sites...
Got on the ship Saturday afternoon and unpacked for the next week of sailing to Mykonos, Ephesus (Turkey), Rhodes, Santorini and Hydra.
We have great early dining seating with an amazing view!
