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!
First island we visited was Mykonos. There were lots of photo ops in the port when we first arrived. We actually booked two excursions for this island since we had all day there. We did a Mykonian Farm cooking experience and made homemade pizza, a variety of breadsticks and apple filled desserts with products from the farm. We cooked everything in an outdoor oven with another family from Australia.
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.
