Dubrovnik, Nafplion, & Izmir Tours??

[Tiffany1203]

Can anyone recommend any tours to do while in Dubronik, Nafplion & Izmir?

[Wendy The Wanderer]

In Napflion you have a choice--you can stay in town and do it yourself. Beautiful little city, great for walking and exploring, and shopping.

 

Or, you can go see Mycenae (very close), and/or Epidavros (just a little further away.) I've done both and would recommend them highly.

Thank you :)

Agree with Wendy on those wonderful options. Here's a little visual preview of what these look like from my pictures visiting there in 2006. Great and unique history there!!! Napflion is nice, but when you're this close to other great sites, I would try to go for it if you can work things out on your budget and schedule.

 

THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio

At Nafplion, this is a closer view of the fortress in its harbor:

 

 

 

For a Mycene ruler, this was his burial place with its space for a carved triangle:

 

 

 

The “triangle” is the symbol for the Mycene empire. This carved stone is placed above where you enter its historic capital:

Epidaurus is the famed outdoor theater with super great acoustics:

THANKS for the nice comments on my pictures! Where else are you stopping? While in Izmir, are you aiming for Ephesus? Here are the visual samples for that famed location and why people love visiting there. Enjoy! Terry in Ohio

 

 

At Ephesus, here is the famed outdoor theater that hosted Saint Paul preaching, plus rock stars, etc. At this site in the 1st century AD, the Apostle Paul spent over three years in Ephesus preaching the Gospel. This included a sermon condemning pagan worship in this theater:

 

 

 

Looking downhill towards the library and other ruins from when Ephesus was Rome's capital of Asia Minor:

 

 

 

At Ephesus, architectural details on its famed library building:

We enjoyed a night concert in front of the historic library at Ephesus:

Terry - Our stops are Dubrovnik, Nafplion, & Ephesus (Izmir) and Athens. Im not really sure what we are aiming for other then what we want to do in Athens. (the city tour and cape of sounion)

 

Any recommendations would be a great help along with tour companies! :)

 

Your pictures are again, gorgeous!

Hello everyone, I'm Valentina and was wondering if you could also fill me in on what to do in Dubrovnik. We are on the RCI in October but am doing my research now.

 

Any insights to local tours are very much appreciated!

 

Thanks!

We had a walking tour in Dubrovnik. We had a great guide and included in the price of our tour was admission to the walls. We walked the walls and our guide explained everything in detail....then we went down into the town and walked around and she gave us more history and great information. You can do this on your own without a guide - but we would not have had any idea what we were looking at or understood the history of this beautiful city.

 

You can pre-arrange a tour or there are guides waiting.

Thanks! We will have to decide what to do....go solo or hire a guide.

Can you remember the company name.... and cost?

Thanks

[nonrev1]

We used a company called Mediterranean Experience and our guide was Daniela Erak. She was fantastic. The cost was 190 Euros for 6 people and an additional 15 euros per each additional person if there were more than 6.

We had 8 people with us on our walk and it was 3 hours.

Their address is

You may want to post your question about Nafplion on the Greece port of call section.

Also, have you searched this port of call section for your other stops? I have a strong feeling that you'll uncover lots of previous threads about Dubrovnik and Izmir.

I asked it here because other then Athens there isnt a seperate port of call section for Izmir and Dubrovnik other than "Other Mediterranean Ports"

At Izmir we booked a tour with ephesusshuttle.com and that was amazing.

 

That was 3 times cheaper than the same tour at ncl website and the service was excellent.

Which tour did you take?

[darcyanita]

Through recommendetion,my husband and I hava pre-booked Ephesus tours from " e-ephesus Tour Agency".E-ephesus have offered 58 dollars per person for full day including lunch.The price that the agency have proposed seems to be suitable.The agency have said that if we can raise our numbers ,they will lower the price obviously depending on how many in the group.

Those guests that are interested in a private guided tour ,please contact me : darcyanita@yahoo.com

Looking forward to hearing from you.
