VISIT ON YOUR OWN WITHOUT EXCURSION

One of the most popular Greek islands, is Mykonos. It is a mix of sun, fun, glamour and tradition. Relax at a beach or wander around the maze-like streets of this scenic port-town. We will not be organising an excursion in this port, since once you will be dropped off by the tender boat, you will find yourself immediately in Mykonos town, where everything is within walking distance. However, should you wish, Royal Caribbean organises a selection of excursions at this port which you can book. If for some reason, you will be docked at Tourlos port instead of being by tender, there will be shuttle bus (extra) to take you to Mykonos Town.

SANTORINI

Oia & the Island of Santorini Hours: 3.5 Hours Stress level: Moderate

Step into the volcanic landscape and white washed villages on a half-day guided adventure, to discover one of the most beautiful islands in the world - Santorini.

Upon your arrival, you will disembark by tender boats at the port where the coaches will be waiting to take you to the island’s highest peak, Mt Profitis Elias. Brief photo stop, before you head to Oia. Enjoy the traditional Cycladic architecture with its beautiful old mansions and houses perched on the cliff side, fine shops, cafes and domed churches. From there, you will drive to Fira town, the picturesque capital of the island, built on the rim of the caldera wall. Some free time, before you will return to the port to catch the tender boat back to the ship, either by taking a cable car (not included) or on foot walking down a lot of serpentine steps.
