Next Stop on the Mediterranean and Aegean Cruise was beautiful Santorini Greece!  Cliff Diving, Amoudi Bay, Oia, Fira, Baklava, and tips for getting around in port! 

We started our visit to Mykonos with a trip to the island of Delos, and a visit to the ruins of the ancient Sacred City rumored to be the site of Artemis and Apollo's birth.  We continued on to Old Town, had an amazing lunch before heading back to the ship and savored an amazing sunset on the way out of the port! 

We explore Messina via the "Scenic Messina City Tour" as well as on our own - includes the Cathedral of Messina and a tour of the city on foot.  Plus we sample some Sicilian snacks, Cannoli, beer and Granitas while in port on our our Mediterranean and Aegean Cruise. 

Sharing some tips from our 8 night Mediterranean and Aegean Cruise on the Disney Magic, some of what we did on At Sea days and our thoughts on embarkation, disembarkation, etc.  The port adventures will follow in upcoming episodes so stay tuned! 

And our trip to Europe to visit Italy and Greece by way of a Mediterranean and Aegean Cruise on the Disney Magic kicks off with our trip to Italy and a busy day in Rome!  We went on a tour with The Tour Guy for "Rome in a Day with Vatican and Colissuem" and topped it off with a great dinner at Hostaria al Gladiatore.
