Cruise The Mediterranean, Greece and Turkey
We cruised to Athens the following day we
arrived at Piraeus around 7am.
Athens is a major city; the port does not have
Greek fishing boats all around the
harbor;everyone lives in the modern world with
automobiles and computers, but It still was
wonderful and I enjoyed every moment of our
visit.

On the 3rd day of the second week we arrived in Kusadsi, Turkey, another country
that wants and needs the tourist’s dollars.
They have built a tourist area right at the pier with a Burger King and Bath and Body
Works and shops in between Turkish cafés and a Turkish rug dealer. They have
installed umbrella tables around the area where you can have a bite to eat or enjoy a
drink while looking at the beautiful harbor.
In May the temperature was in the high 70’s f, but we were told in July the
temperature could be over 110 f.
We took the tour to Ephesus, a city created in 3,000 BC and later expanded by the
Romans. The ruin had a wonderful museum with many artifacts. This city has hosted
Cleopatra, Mark Anthony, the Virgin Mary and John the Apostle. Have you ever
thought about where Mary went after Jesus’ death, she went to Ephesus. I found that
most interesting; this city is a must see.

Cruise to Athens
We spent the day at a beach resort. The water was warm and as I was told the high salt content helps
everyone float; It does.
Our last port of call was the beautiful Island of Corfu. I would love to go back there someday where
everywhere you look you see breathtaking navy blue sea and lush greenery. Can’t forget the olive
groves everywhere.
We took a tour of the island from one end to the other and stopped for wine in the morning and a five
course Greek dinner in a small fishing village that afternoon.
The island had been occupied by the British and the French in the past, leaving the look of Bermuda
with a French touch in the wrought iron porches. Flowers were everywhere.
The next day was spent at sea giving us time to remember all the beautiful places we had seen in the
past two weeks. We headed to Venice and our flight back to Boston.

and about her trip to
Foxwoods Casino in
Ct. We met some
interesting people.
