HI ALL

Taking a 7 night Mediterranean cruise with my husband. Can anyone recommend which of the ships shore excursions we should take at each port? Ports include Bari, Katakolon, Esmirna, Istambul, and duvronik.

And also could we do the tours without a tour guide. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

For Istanbul, the port isn't too far from the tourist area. You just take a taxi to Kabatas(would cost you around 7-10 TL) and take a tramway(2TL for a jeton).

Get off at Sultan Ahmet and enjoy sightseeing.

Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Grand Bazar all are at Sultan Ahmet.

Don't forget to eat kebaps at Sultan Ahmet Koftecisi (They sell the best bebaps)

Enjoy your trip in Istanbul!!!

You replied on a very old and inactive thread and I think they made the cruise a long time ago. But thanks for your contribution.
