artemis cruise bosphorous &black sea

I wonder how easy to arrange DIY Trips in Yalta, Odessa, Constanza,

Nessebur, any info appreciated.

We were in Yalta and Odessa a few years ago on Oriana.

In Yalta we took a taxi for a tour and went to Lavidia(?)Palace and had lunch there. Our driver (a cello player in the Philharmonic Orchestra) spoke excellent English and told us some interesting facts. I cannot remember what we paid but it was very inexpensive. When we finished we had a lovely walk along the front. A lovely place to go!

In Odessa we just walked around the town. Watch your footing on the pavements - I narrowly missed a huge open hole.

thank you for info on the 2 Ports, you certainly seemed to have had an

time in Yalta.;)

Hi there. We are on the same cruise. Apart from Sochi, we are doing all the ports by ourselves. I have found a map of Yalta and also Odessa on the internet. Nessebar will be easy and we have been to Ephesus before, so will just be browsing in Kusadasi. Jean
