Several of our newer itineraries now give us at least one overnight, sometimes two, in certain ports. When we have our embarkation in Piraeus (Athens), Greece – we have two overnights and offer an evening tour that takes folks into Athens to the Plaka (basically, the marketplace) where we walk to a restaurant right in the center. The restaurant is very old and long rectangular tables fill the room, with all the tables leading to the stage at the front of the room.
We were all seated comfortably and began pouring the wine and water into our glasses and before we knew it, we were served with a variety of traditional Greek appetizers and snack foods. The show started and it was a girl who loved to hear herself sing backed up by a few older gentlemen who played the instruments. She would alternate with 3 ladies and 3 gentlemen Zorba dancers doing traditional Greek dances. Honestly, the food was the best part about the evening! The entertainment was ok – just a bit too long for my taste and I was tired. :/ Just chalk it all up to experience, right?
