10 Best Ports For Greek Islands And Eastern Mediterranean Cruises

…kolon. If you go on a cruise that’s going to Katakolon make sure you go to Olympia. Olympia is the site of the original Olympic Games and many of the buildings were built in the honour of the god Zeus, and it is a huge sprawling complex including the huge big stadium where many of the races were run.

Telegraph Cruise Show 2010: Olympia London

…I went to the Daily Telegraph newspaper sponsored Cruise Exhibition at the Olympia Exhibition Centre in London today. This 2 day exhibition costs around £10 per person on the door, though less if bought in advance. We though we would head there early on the first day when it would be quiet. We arrived around 10.30 and then thing that struck us was the stream of people heading into the venue. It was absolutely packed, and once inside you had to shu…

Eastern Mediterranean And Greek Islands Cruise Tips And Watch Outs

…. Make sure that you are going to Katakolon on your cruise and head out to Olympia, which is the site where the original Olympic Games were held, and still has a link to the Olympic games of today because the flame is created here for each of the Olympic Games. I recommend that you ensure that Crete is on your itinerary and you head out to the incredible Palace of Knossos. This was the centre of the Minoan culture and of course is famous for the M…

…). On Eastern Mediterranean ones you will see Venice (Ravenna or Trieste), Olympia (Katakolon) and Piraeus (Athens). The time to get to places like this on the itinerary can take a long time. Rome can take up to two hours each way based on traffic from Civitavecchia. Florence one and a half to two hours each way from Livorno. Venice (which most ships cannot sail into anymore) use Ravenna or Trieste which are two hours away. Even places like Olympi…

…it on this trip. The hotel is right next to the famous Century 21 discount label department store and an easy 10 minute walk to South Street Sea Port area with its shops and museums and the major drop off and pick up for the round Manhattan bus tours. But overall, it is not a very handy destination for tourists as far from the shopping areas and Central Park etc. Overall, I liked the room a lot but the noise of construction did wake me up earlier…

The currency is the Norwegian kroner, and because it’s not the Euro, the exchange rate is more complicated, it’s easy to get confused about how much you’re paying. Make sure you understand it. On the plus side, many of the souvenir shops will take Euros and some will take dollars or UK Sterling. I…
