I actually couldnt fault the cabin in any way.  to me it seemed spacious and airy and we loved having a balcony.  the bathroom was large with separate toilet and shower.  3 of us including a 6ft 4 teenager had a very comfortable week here

we booked this excursion as we worried about the cable car as one of the party has a heights problem.  very convenient as were tendered down the coast and put onto buses there.  driven round and saw some sights, along the way then escorted to oia for photo opportunities and the obligatory port of call shopping.  prices ok bordering on the espensive and choices limited to t shirts, olive oil, alcohol and sweets.  then back on the bus to a winery which was little more than a local company wanting to sell their wine to cruise line passengers.  it wasnt a destination so much as a 'please buy this'.  then told to make our own way back down the cabel car.  be warned, we lined up but certain nationalities just laughed at the line then pushed straight in meaning those in line had to wait far far longer.

Lovely lady from cruising excursions met us at the gate of the terminal then whisked us off on a walking tour of the harbour talking as she went.  very comfortable pace, and a cool breeze was welcome.  after this got on a lovely coach for a tour of the island stopping at a beach bar and various places of interest including the shirley valentine beach.  coming back dropped us at the old town so we could shop.  coulnt have been happier.

again lovely guide met us from cruising excursions at the gate of the port and put us on buses.  a 40 minute bus ride later and we were at olympia which was incredibly hot.  well worth doing, but the only problem for some was that if they did the museum as well there was no time to get a drink which was much needed.

had a coach tour with narration all around the island.  we were told lady would be inside the arrivals hall with a board and she wasnt but there were a group of us waiting for her and one guy found her in the car park.

took us all round the island and had a brief stop at a beach, a hillside bar then had half hour for shopping.  tbh this wasnt really enough as there seemed to be loads going on.

we were traveling with an 18 year old boy and it was a real shame there was hardly anything for older teens to do.i would recommend this cruise for older people and for couples and for families with young children, but my 18 year old was pretty badly catered for.
