Join us for the next three ports of call on our Odyssey of the Seas Greek Isle Cruise! The overall theme of these days was definitely taking a step back in time to see three ancient historical sites, the ruins of some of the most famous cities in history. First up was Kusadasi, Turkey – where we traveled to the ancient city of Ephesus; followed by some shopping in the modern day markets. Next was visiting the port of Mykonos, Greece – where we took a shuttle boat to the ancient island of Delos; and then back to Mykonos for shopping and a delicious lunch. Last we have Naples, Italy – where we were got to visit the infamous Pompeii; followed by exploring the city of Naples with shopping, sightseeing, and eating some of the best pizza we’ve ever had.
Our excursion to Ephesus was booked through Royal Caribbean at https://www.royalcaribbean.com. Following the tour they dropped us off near the port, with the markets for shopping and dining within walking distance.

The trip to Delos was not through an excursion, we went on our own and bought tickets for the water taxi from New Port to Old Port in Mykonos, and then bought tickets for the shuttle to the island on the Old Port dock for €22 each. Once we reached the island we purchased tickets from the main gate at Delos for €12 a person. Delos is a self-guided tour.

The restaurant we ate at in Mykonos was called Pepper, and the dishes we ordered were the pork and chicken souvlaki and we highly recommend it.
Our excursion to Pompeii was also booked directly through royal Caribbean at https://www.royalcaribbean.com.

After being dropped back off at the port following the tour we then walked the city of Naples and explored on our own. We ate authentic pizza at Antica Trattoria e Pizzeria Da Peppino, followed by trying Naples’ famous pastry called Sfogliatella at a small pastry cart in the Galleria Umberto I, a shopping center in Naples.

Booked this cruise in 2024 for our honeymoon so I’ve been following along with your videos. We took our first Royal caribbean cruise 2 years ago and the Bahamas was less than impressive. Your comment had my dying 😂 thanks so much for posting!
Thanks for the video. Same feelings about Nassau…lol. Question about the Mykonos port, since it’s not a tender can you get on and off the ship, is it easy enough? We plan to do snorkeling on our own there, and I was just wondering if it’s easy to get back on the boat change and then go explore the port.
Thanks for these videos! Going on this cruise in about 5 weeks, super excited!
Another great video!!! Was it hard knowing what time to reserve dinner each night? I heard that even with my time dining, you have to select dinner times before boarding. Trying to figure out if earlier dinner times are impractical
