Hello, We are a family of 7 (2 adults, 7 youngster aged 15 to 20) cruising in July - can't wait!!! One of our port is Kusadasi. I wanted to experience the hammam/turkish baths, heard it can be a lot of fun! BUT - it seems Kusadasi is not the best place for this. So, looking at other options, but not sure we want to do the ruins as we will only be there from 6:30am to 12:30pm. Unless we can find a tour at a reasonable price... Do you have any recommendation for me? I'm open to any suggestion, even off the beaten paths! Thanks in advance!

Hello! I will be on a cruise in July, visiting Santorini, Mykonos and Corfu in Greece with my family. There will be 7 of us (2 adults + 7 youngster from 15 to 20 yrs old). I am reading may posts and reviews as I want to make the best out of our stay and I am not reassured! We do not want to spend a LOT of money on boat excursions and prefer to organize our tours ourselves. For Corfu, I'm thinking of using taxis (it seems we will need 2) - does anyone have a reference??? There are so many to chose from. We would like to tour the island and visit beaches as it will be very hot in the middle of summer. Any other recommendations are welcomed! We will be there from 8am to 3pm. For Santorini, I must say I am a bit discouraged! We will be at port from 1:30pm to 10pm, along with many other cruise ships!!! I don't want to wait hours in line to get on the cable car... and it seems like walking up (or down) the stairs is not a very good option. I was thinking of walking from Fira to Oia, but in the heat, not sure it's the best idea. Any recommendation to make our day in Santorini a memorable one? For Mykonos, it seems that other than walking around with our fellow cruisers, there is not much to do. We will be there from 1:30pm to 9pm. Any recommendation for a nice beach? I'm open to any suggestion! Off the beaten path is also good for us! Thank you!!!
