Port of Venice: An Overview

Of all the cities in the world, only Paris comes remotely close to matching Venice in terms of sheer beauty and

romance. You've seen it in photos and films, but there's no substitute for the reality -- the shimmering Grand

Canal, the gondolas slipping down watery alleyways, the elegant palazzos emerging straight from the sea.

Venice once ruled the Mediterranean as a shipping power, amassing vast wealth and producing some of Europe's

greatest artistic and cultural treasures. But, over the centuries, Venice has declined a bit and now has less than

half the population it had at its peak. What remains of its former grandeur -- the crumbling palaces, the

sumptuous art in its museums and churches, the fantastic rituals of Carnevale -- makes Venice a living tribute to

the past.

Aside from a number of charming squares, such as the famous Piazza San Marco, Venice is mostly composed of a

warren of narrow canals and streets spread over more than 100 islands. These tangled passageways are an

attraction among themselves. There are few better cities to simply get lost in, particularly if you want to escape

the tourist hordes that clog the main arteries around San Marco and the Rialto Bridge.

So once you've seen the major sights, fold up your map, and set off on foot. You'll discover pretty, residential

neighborhoods with colorful flowerboxes in the windows and clean laundry billowing in the breeze. You'll discover

tiny trattorias where the locals enjoy the catch of the day. And, away from the vaporetti (water taxis) and

motorboat traffic on the Grand Canal, you'll discover one more pleasure of this place, aptly dubbed La

Serenissima -- the unexpected quiet of a city without cars.

Bari Cruise Port

Port of Bari: An Overview

Bari, which lies in the Puglia, or Apulia, region of southern Italy (around the heel of the country's "boot" shape) is the kind of port cruise passengers dream about. It boasts a delightfully sunny, palm-lined promenade and broad boulevards with designer shops and top-quality restaurants. And, its lovely medieval Old Town is so

atmospheric it could be the set for a particularly romantic version of "Romeo and Juliet" with its balconied houses, pretty courtyards, Baroque and Romanesque churches, chapels, shops and courtyards. Beyond the city itself lies beautiful Puglia, which is endowed with a sandy coastline, 60 million olive trees, Roman ruins, vast golden wheat fields and the distinctive whitewashed, grey, conical-roofed houses known as the Trulli.

Bari is growing in popularity as a cruise port. Big-ship lines -- including P&O, Costa, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises -- are now visiting there, in addition to the small, upmarket ships of Seabourn, Silversea, Azamara and Oceania Cruises.

This is one port guaranteed to deliver a memorable day ashore -- and even have you planning to come back for a longer visit.

Port of Katakolon (Olympia): An Overview

The scenic seaside Greek town of Katakolon, with a population around 3,000, is your typical small-town cruise port -- cafes lace the waterfront, shops sell T-shirts, hats and jewelry, and a small beach draws swimmers and sandcastle-builders. But that's not why ships make the town a destination. They arrive because Katakolon serves as the cruise gateway to ancient Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games. Drive 40 minutes from Katakolon, and you are transported back thousands of years. Stroll the site of Olympia,

and you walk in the footsteps of the earliest Greek and Roman athletes -- wrestlers, chariot drivers, discus throwers, runners and long-jumpers -- who vied for glory and the gods' favor. Stand alongside the massive columns, and, with the tales of a good guide, you can envision the once magnificent temples, the crowded gymnasium and the runners readying on the track. Alexander the Great, Nero, Plato and Aristotle are among those who watched the games from where you stand. More than 3 million people annually visit the site and its companion facility, the Archaeological Museum of Olympia, a treasure trove of pieced-together sculptures and statues that once adorned the ancient structures. En route to the grounds, you travel through the fertile valleys of the Western Peloponnese region. Strawberries, watermelons, tomatoes, wheat and corn fill the fields; behind them rise groves of olive trees. The rich soil also suits grapes. At the Domaine Mercouri winery, about 3 kilometers from Katakolon's dock,

you can sit in the shade of centuries-old cypress trees, sipping noted red and white wines.

Port of Mykonos: An Overview

In the early 1960s, shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis "discovered" the Greek island of Mykonos and

brought Jackie Kennedy there -- and soon, the island became an exclusive playground for

celebrities like Grace Kelly, Brigitte Bardot and members of the Versace family.

Today, it's more democratic, a noisy, bustling, bursting-at-the-seams place with something for

everyone, from singles to gay couples to families. You'll find quiet stretches of sand, party

beaches, waterfront cafes, shopping in every price range (both international brands and local

crafts), water sports and delicious food (especially fresh fish). Scores of people, looking to

experience the internationally renowned gold-tinged beaches and sweaty, pulsating nightlife,

descend upon the tiny island during the packed high season, which lasts from the Greek Orthodox

Easter celebration (usually in April or early May) through September.

After the cruise season, Mykonos gets quieter, but it does not shut down. Restaurants in the

principal tourist areas -- the beaches and waterfront -- are generally open from March until

November. Spots where locals eat or where business is good year-round remain open.

The largest town on the island is Mykonos town, also known as Chora or Hora; a few miles inland is

the village of Ano Mera. The subject of many paintings by local artists, Mykonos is a feast for the

eyes, with its azure waters, houses painted white with brightly colored shutters, bougainvillea

trees in bloom, iconic windmills and colorful fishing boats. Visitors love to explore the shops,

restaurants, cafes and churches on the narrow streets off the harbor.

Port of Athens (Piraeus): An Overview

Athens wowed the world as host to the 2004 Olympic Games. While Olympic sports venues have languished in disuse

since, the Games sparked the transformation of Central Athens and brought enhancements to transportation and

infrastructure that have improved Greece's capital.

Cruise passengers flying in to board ships in Athens -- once a tortuous process of driving through dreary, traffic-clogged

streets -- will notice how speedy the transit from airport to port is now, courtesy of a fast freeway straight to the port of

Piraeus.

And the city's Metro underground system, which was extensively overhauled before the Games hit town, now provides

a cheap, safe and efficient way of getting around for sightseeing if you have the luxury of a few pre- or post-cruise days

in the city.

The most spectacular sites -- which include the Parthenon, Acropolis, Odeon and Temple of Athena -- are now more

easily accessible, thanks to an Olympics-linked project that created a network of pretty, shop- and restaurant-lined

pedestrian-friendly streets linking the city's major monuments and sites of historic interest.

Many monuments also have received facelifts, and some fine neoclassical architecture in the city's Plaka and Thissio

districts was restored, with once-dingy frontages repainted in soft shades of lemon, pistachio and ochre.

Syntagma Square has been reborn as a tree-filled haven from which to take in the city's gorgeous neoclassical

Parliament building and catch the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. (Yes, that means you get

to watch those men in frilly skirts, elaborate waistcoats and bobbled shoes do their high-kicking thing.)

Athens, once (in some parts, still) one of the most frenetic and traffic-polluted cities in the world, now owns a real buzz

and is well worth spending a few days in if your cruise starts or ends there.

Port of Dubrovnik: An Overview

Dubrovnik is a great walking city for lovers of culture and history, with centuries-old monasteries,

churches, synagogues and even one of the oldest operating pharmacies in Europe. But, if you're

looking for a day of relaxation between busy tours in marquee cities, it's also a gorgeous spot to

simply sit and watch the world go by amid red-roofed stone buildings and the sparkling, aqua

Adriatic Sea.

The medieval-era Old Town is a walled city, and from above -- you can walk the 1.3-mile stretch

some 80 feet above ground level for spectacular views -- it is reminiscent of Venice, just on a

smaller scale (and with marble alleyways instead of canals). Like the Italian city, which lies just to

the northwest, Old Town Dubrovnik is free of vehicular traffic and dotted with Renaissance

churches and fountains, with a rich history as a trading port. In lieu of canals, you'll find narrow,

cobblestone streets where pedestrians stroll from shop to shop, dine and drink at al fresco cafes

and soak up the sun.

Dubrovnik is nestled in the southwestern corner of Croatia, a boomerang-shaped country directly

across the Adriatic Sea from Italy's east coast, under which lies Bosnia and Herzegovina. The

atmosphere is light and welcoming, due in no small part to the city's gorgeous setting on the

Dalmatian Coast, which can be appreciated on one of the many boat tours offered from the Old

Town harbor. Nearby beaches are also accessible; tours further inland include country bike rides

and wine-tasting.

The port is a mainstay on Eastern Mediterranean cruise itineraries, sprinkled among greatest-hits

stops like Athens, Venice and so many Greek Isles. Most Eastern Mediterranean cruises set sail from

spring through fall, though winter cruising is gaining popularity.
