He says: All those history classes I slept through in university came rushing back to me as we made our way to the Acropolis in Athens. The amount of Greek history located in Athens was epic. Shauna's ear has been a source of discomfort the last few days, so after sleeping in to let her rest we made our way off the boat at around 2:30 p.m. Rick Steeves (our Yoda equivalent on this trip) recommended hiring an English speaking cab driver to see the sights in Gree...

He says: Santorini is the bomb. After taking a tender ashore, we hopped on a cable car that took us up the mountain to the town of Thira. The views of the Mediterranean, once you're on top, are pretty insane. The town is full of jewelry stores, restaurants, and t-shirt shops. Shauna is getting her feet eaten by fish right now. This is an activity that's banned in Canada because of the potential for a nasty bacterial infection. This risk never fails to stop Shaun...

She says: It's not too original a thought, but I think Santorini is one of the most gorgeous places on earth. It's got it all...mountains, incredible beaches, breathtaking landscapes, quaint little towns, and most important for me, well cared for, friendly stray cats. We were really lucky as our ship was the only one here today. I guess Santorini can be completely overrun with three or four huge ships in port in one day, but it was actually relatively quiet. A ...

He says: With the Olympic Games currently going on in London, it was perfect timing for us to visit the site where it all started - Olympia, Greece. Shauna had organized a tour guide for us through Trip Advisor before we left Canada. His name was Andrew, and we met him at 8:30 a.m. at the port. He talked a lot about olive trees and olive oil. I told him it was good to use as tanning oil. He believed me. He even gave us a bottle of his homemade olive oil at the en...

She says: For our day in Katakalon, we booked one of our only two tours for this cruise. Katakolon is the "gateway to Ancient Olympia" and the archaeological site of the early Olympic Games gets really busy with bus tours. We thought we'd beat the crowd by hiring a guide. I found Andrew Stathopoulos on tripadvisor and contacted him some time ago. He agreed to take us to Olympia, the a winery and back to the ship. We ended up being joined by a pair of Australian ...
