Helen, our guide, provided great insight into the culture and history of the city as we walked through several traditional markets tasting olives, sweets, savory meat and cheese pies, coffee and other traditional treats. Our small group of 12 allowed us see and hear more than if we had chosen to participate in a shore excursion offerd by the cruise line.

We went to 3 wine bars and tasted two rose, two whites and two reds - all Greek wines and all of them were great. We also received snack platters at all 3 wine bars. I did eat behorehand because of the wine drinking, just wish I ate less as I couldn’t finish all my snacks… The waiter, Magos, at Ble Vin bar was really great”
