Santorini, Mykonos, Zakynthos and Corfu

[NCteacherlovescruising]

Our cruise begins in Athens, and then the next 4 ports are also in Greece.  Zakynthos would be the best one to make a relaxing beach day.  Correct?  I'm thinking after touring Athens a couple days, then Santorini, followed by Mykonos we may be tired and a beach break would be welcome!  Any suggestions for Mykonos or Corfu?  Can anyone recommend a NCL Santorini tour?  Looking for one that will take us up by vehicle to avoid the long lines.

Looks like we’re all set for these Greece ports. We’re doing ship excursions for Santorini and Corfu, a private excursion in Zakynthos and the beach in Mykonos.

Taxi tours are popular on Corfu. Best to book ahead of time though to agree a route and pricing, also that your driver will speak english. Corfu is a really scenic island and local drivers know the routes and the nicest scenery, also how much can fitted in around your time in dock with tiume to spare.  When you internet search something like "Corfu taxi tours" you will find that some results are for taxi companies with several vehicles and drivers rather than for a lone driver with his own vehicle.

 

We ended up with either 3 or 4 taxis shared  with fellow pax arranged through our Roll Call and had a lovely few hours.

Our tour with Seascape was great!  In Santorini we got super lucky!  Our friends got up top before us and met Agalliu Astri who gave us a fabulous tour of the island and took some great photos of us!  His website is aasantorinitravel.com.
