  1. No. One is garbage collection in Naples. The other one is energy workers in Palermo.
  2. It's basic, but it would satisfy most people. For myself, I would skip the winery and spend less time in Fira, and go to Akrotiri instead.
  3. Good plan. Check this board for recommendations. There are many good choices. Do stay in central Athens, near or in Plaka.
  4. You can walk. The route to the Colosseum is mostly on twisty narrow streets with LOTS of traffic. If you change your mind, a taxi is 10-12 euros.
  5. Could you change the timing of the catamaran to a later time? In that way you could take an early ship's tour starting at the ferry port, take a taxi to catamaran port (Vlyhada?), and get dropped off at the tender port at the end. I know there are lots of ifs and wishful thinking, but maybe you can make it work.
  6. I understand they will honor the tickets whenever you show up. But follow ninjacat123's advice in case you have to wait.
  7. Won't work in most Med cruises, except in Adriatic.
  8. That works if you are sailing on a straight north to south line.
  9. The Oct 14 train strike is also off. You are not affected by the trucking strike.
  10. Oct 20 general strike is still on. Oct 16 Venice airport strike is off. I didn't know which one you were referring to.
  11. Correct. Strike revoked or withdrawn. Congrats!
  12. Could you post the link? I do believe you are right as to themeaning, but I am away from computers today and it is a pain searching on the phone.
  13. One of the best gelaterias in Rome is nearby: Venchi
  14. Mykonos, Rhodes, Patmos. If you want to see Santorini, you are better off flying there for a day or two before or after the cruise.
  15. Seabourn. Google 3D excursions Greece. There is a company that provides the equipment and IIRC they list tour companies that use it. Also google Olympia excursions, some providers might list them.
  16. I agree. However, the passport card would be a really useful id to help you get a new passport if you lose your regular passport.
  17. Combined tickets are valid for 5 days. You can start at any of the sites, but must visit the rest, in any order, within 5 days of first use. So, yes, you can visit the other sites the day before your timed entry to the Acropolis.
  18. A taxi is the surest way to arrive at the main entrance for the earliest possible admission. It is worth a little splurge. You can use public transport the rest of the day when you are not pressed for time.
  19. Just saying. A one way flight from Athens to Santorini in the first week of October starts at 45€. It takes 25 minutes. If at all possible, consider going to Santorini for a day or two before or after the cruise. No donkeys, no cable cars, no six ships in port.
