Discount Cruises In Turkey And Greece
The Aegean and Mediterranean coastline of Greece and Turkey is ideal for cruise holidays as it possesses a wealth of historic attractions, stunning anchorages and popular resorts. There is something for passengers of all ages and interests. Moreover, the Aegean and Mediterranean is a great option for a discount cruise – in part because it is outside of the Eurozone. Here is an introduction to some of the main places you’ll encounter on a Eastern Mediterranean cruise.
Athens
With its ancient monuments and bustling districts, the Greek capital of Athens is a must-see. Even if you are only in Athens for a very short time, the Acropolis is a site that simply can’t be missed. The Parthenon and Erechtheion, amongst the majority of the visible monuments, are vestiges of Pericles’ ambitious programmes of works the 5C BC. The recently reopened and significantly revamped Acropolis Museum is richly endowed with sculptures and objects from various monuments and excavations. Head to Filomoussou Eterias, after a day spent exploring the sites, a square with neo-classical facades and numerous restaurants.
Ephesus
Cruise holidays offer the chance to explore one of the most photographed sites on the Aegean coast. Ephesus has become a site of pilgrimage for history buffs drawn by the superbly preserved ancient city. Before the midday sun bakes the ancient ruins and once you’ve embarked at Kusadasi, it’s best to head straight for Ephesus. Check out the huge Hellenistic theatre first, it originally seated around 24,000. Ephesus’ past importance is made clearer after viewing the striking Library of Celsus and the imposing arches of the Gate of Augustus.
Kusadasi
Kusadasi, the main port of call for many cruises along Turkey’s Aegean coast, is the ideal place to rest weary legs after a day exploring the ancient cities of Priene and Ephesus. The attractive beach resort of Kusadasi enjoys an idyllic setting and offers passengers on discount cruise holidays an array of attractions and amenities. Most either take advantage of the water sports on offer or head to the white sand beach. The streets of Kusadasi are filled with traditional restaurants serving mouth-watering Turkish dishes. There are numerous bars and nightclubs at which to unwind as the night goes on.
