Frances Don't know for sure, but I've read elsewhere (think port's website) that Burnie is one port where you can't walk around. The city or port offers a shuttle to a place called "Maker's Workshop," which is a warehouse with some artists working and/or displaying their creations for sale, and I believe representatives from the tourist bureau. If you're taking an independent excursion (not a ship's excursion) you meet the rep there. I believe the port shuttle goes to a couple other places, like Burnie Regional Museum, but you should confirm that by visiting/emailing the port, or a Burnie tourist rep if one comes on board the ship that morning. The cruise line and the port set the times for the shuttle, so the port couldn't give me specific info for my cruise visit on Regatta in Dec or Jan. The above info is my understanding of shuttle information; I haven't actually visited Burnie yet! But hopefully it's a start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's a port at Taormina itself, but I could be wrong. Do you know if you are you anchoring/tendering or docking there? Is there another city mentioned along with Taormina? It has been quite a while since we visited Taormina but when we did (on Oceania), we docked in Giardini Naxos, which is very close to Taormina. I remember taking a short public bus ride down the coast to Taormina, but it's possible a shuttle was offered. Taormina's closest port was Giardini Naxos when we went last November. There was no free shuttle, we booked a tour through Oceania to see Taormina. My understanding is that there is a bus that goes from Giardini Naxos where we tendered but I have no information on that.

MarcyLondon Posted August 27, 2019 #503 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Thanks for the info SM77. We really don't want to take a tour but maybe we will have to. I don't suppose you can remember f there were any taxis at the port? Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcia I don't recall taxis but I do remember that a Oceania crew member telling another passenger that there is a public bus that goes up to Taormina from Giardini Naxos. Maybe there's information on the port board. We loved Taormina so make sure you get to see it. Also, check TripAdvisor for recommendations for the best cannoli. We stopped at one place and it was good but I should have checked beforehand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaeltrav Posted August 27, 2019 #505 Share Posted August 27, 2019 There are both taxi's and minibuses available to take you up the mountain to Taormina and they charge 25 euro They will drop you off at one end of town and pick you up at the other end.

We were in Riga, but it was in 2012, so it's possible things have changed. But when we were there, we docked right in town, although I can't remember if we were on Marina or one of the smaller ships, and sometimes that makes a difference. I don't think there was a shuttle, but it wasn't really needed. We did a fairly short walk to where we could pick up the Hop On Hop Off bus (so-so) and explored a large market, gorgeous church, etc. Then I walked over to to where the wonderful art nouveau buildings were - pretty astounding if you're the least interested in architecture. Sorry, I don't remember the details for those buildings, but you could likely google and find them. It was a little tricky finding the exact street number, though, as the street numbering wasn't done the same way numbering in the U.S. is usually done. I remember walking back to the ship, so it obviously wasn't horribly far. I think the address of the "blue" building in the photo was 10B Elizabetes; other one was on Albertas street. But in answer to your question - Riga, no shuttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To Athens, I doubt it; most people buy a transfer or excursion take a train. There's probably info in the Ports of Call section. It's not hard. I think there might be a bus, too, but the train isn't bad, as long as you don't have luggage. (Port is not right by train station.)
