1st shore excursion Santorini, Lovely place but far too crowded. The expression as safe as houses does not apply here.

2nd excursion was Athens and Ephesus. Was really looking to revisiting here has i had been here about 20 yrs ago. The courier spent the 1/2 hr drive giving us a history lesson,when we went up the mountain to see the house that Mary was reputed to have lived,we got 1/2 way up stopped to take some photos of the statue put up in her honour then turned around and back to Ephesus. Courier then give another 20 min lesson,passed through entrance then another 20min lesson,walked to 1st monument then another 20min lesson.Then she told us we have 30mins of free time to see the rest.
On the way back to port called to visit a Mosque and another 20min history lesson before we went inside,where we were all given a copy of the Koran.
Got back to port,the 1st sign i see is taxi to Ephesus 10 Euros.

Overall a good trip,the entertainment on board more than made up for the poor excursions.
