We Were Into The Second Day Of A 10-Day Roman Empire Mediterranean Cruise, Having Boarded In CivitavecchiaTthe Previous Morning After Three Delightfully Chaotic And Engaging Days In Rome.
This awe-inspiring sight heralded our dawn entry to the Strait of Messina between the southern "toe of Italy" and the island of Sicily in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
We were into the second day of a 10-day Roman Empire Mediterranean cruise, having boarded in Civitavecchia (Rome's seaport) the prior morning after 3 delightfully chaotic and interesting days in Rome. This was our second cruise, and we are now committed to the cruising culture. Our noon boarding of the ms Noordam was almost a homecoming and we were shortly settled into our stateroom and were under way.
We cruised thru the Strait of Messina and north into the Adriatic on this first "at sea" day familiarising ourselves with our splendid surroundings. The Noordam was impressive.
The central curving glass staircase between decks was striking and the art-bedecked lounges and the nautical paintings, antique model ships and collections of period navigational instruments were entrancing.
We relished our dinners. The ever changing Vista Dining Room's five-course menus never failed to satisfy. Rosenthal china, gleaming silver and sparkling crystal glasses set on crisp white table-cloths were wonderful to behold. We chose for "open dining" and made many new buddies. There were 3 "formal" evenings and 7 "smart casual".
The casual Lido Griddle smorgasboard food court offered a selection of cuisine and made-to-order "super sandwiches" or burgers and hot dogs, all of which you might carry back to your stateroom, or out on to the deck to enjoy by the pool. Occasionally, we requested a maid service meal to our stateroom. The Indonesian crew anticipated our every need and delivered morning tea, juice and a fresh flower to our stateroom.
On morning three, we spooked with the sunrise into the harbor at Dubrovnik, Croatia, and after a substantial breakfast, we rode the Holland America Line shuttle to the gates of the traditional walled city.
The Old Town's Pile Gate opens on to the white marble streets and buildings of the medieval town. This fairytale place is totally enclosed within its thirtheenth century 2km-long fortified wall. We walked the wall to impressive perspectives which changed at every turn. Along the Placa, the primary street below, cafeterias and shops are tucked into the old buildings, and churches and monuments rule the squares. The ornate 16th-century Sponza Palace museum keeps Dubrovnik archives and art collections.
After another smooth overnight sailing, we awoke to a crimson dawn over the island mountains of Corfu, Greece. The shuttle carried us into town, but before discovering its delights, we climbed the steps to explore tunnels under the fortress castle overlooking the island's harbour.
The town of Corfu is charming. We looked and shopped and then relaxed outside a cafe in the town square, devouring baklava oozing honey with our iced moccachinos.
Having cruised south overnight, we docked at Katakolon, Greece. Our third shore excursion was to Olympia, a name that's legend as the site of the first Olympics around 776BC. The Olympic torch is lit here every four years for the modern games. The Archaeological Museum exhibits sculptures, bronzes, pottery, jewelry and other artefacts.
Those famous white buildings and bright blue domes adorned the island's skyline. We had arrived at Santorini and were shortly tendered ashore, concerned to explore the alleyways and courtyards draped with crimson bougainvillea.
But first, we had to scale the 220m caldera (cliff). There is a cable-car and the mule ride up was tempting, but we opted to walk and shared the gentle, winding cobbled path with the mules and their mounts. The dwellings, shops, narrow alleys, open squares and churches of Santorini, and the nearby town of Oia were fascinating.
Kusadasi, Turkey, is the port gateway to the Roman city of Ephesus. The shore excursion and tour of this best saved of Roman ruins brings alive the everyday life of its citizens of 2k years ago. The walk down Curetes Street past villas, public baths, fountains and meeting places to the Augustus Gate, the Library of Celsus, the Temple of Hadrian and the amphitheater is interesting.
Ferries have priority over cruise ships, so we waited some time outside of the narrow entrance to Piraeus Harbor, the traditional port gateway to Athens.
To stroll round the Acropolis and gaze up at the Parthenon is the achievement of an entire life dream for many - it was for us. To stand on those smooth granite rocks where the ancients had trod and absorb the grandeur was remarkable.
Messina was our last port of landing and the drive down the coast to the picture-perfect Sicilian community of Taormina, high on an escarpment overlooking the Ionian Sea, was a popular shore excursion. The old hamlet, "the pearl of the Ionic Sea", provided a last chance for shore shopping or walks thru the pretty streets to the English Gardens and the Roman Greek theatre.
A last sea day on the return excursion, a last glimpse of Mt Stromboli, the last grand dinner before retiring and at 7am we berthed at Citeveccia prior to going back to Rome, writes tagza.com.
