Greece • Cruise stop
Athens
History everywhere, mythology everywhere, and one of the best places to just walk and look up.
Trip notes
When: Marella cruise
How I got there: Visited as part of a Marella cruise itinerary around Cyprus, Athens, Mykonos and Kusadasi.
Highlights
- Acropolis
- Greek mythology
- Exploring without a rigid excursion
My take
This is exactly the James Away sweet spot: get off the ship, walk, explore, and find the story behind the place.
