Review summary

Our 14 year old loves Greek history so this was the perfect trip. Started in Rome and carried on to Delos and Ephesis. It was nice after the Greek history to go to Naples and visit the tunnels and have fresh pizza.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Perfect. Got off the train in Civitavechia and got right on the port shuttle and then got right on the ship shuttle. Very seamless.
