Has anyone out there ever taken a Celestyal Cruise to the Greek Islands? I'm really intrigued by the concept of taking one when I feel safe to travel. They sound like they provide more of a "Greek" flare to onboard activities than the likes of Princess or Viking cruises. They are actually booking now for May, 2021, for anyone who is interested in traveling to Greece.

Hmmm I haven't! But it seems pretty great, I love the fact that they provide traditional Greek activities. I might have to check it out

Oooh that sounds so fun! I've never taken a cruise across the islands. Hopefully, they have trips available for Skopelos, it's my favorite island.
From what I see, those bigger cruise ships only go to the main islands like Crete, Santorini, and Mykonnos. Looks like we have to do ferry hopping to see the smaller and more remote islands. Go while you can, savor the moment...at this stage in our lives, the comfort of cruises is what works for us.

Is Marathon a good day trip from Athens?

I've been planning an itinerary for my upcoming trip to Athens, and I've always been fascinated by the historical significance of Marathon. Considering its role in ancient history and the famous battle that took place there, it seems like a place that might be worth a visit.
However, I'm on the fence about dedicating a whole day trip to Marathon. From what I understand, it isn’t too far from Athens, but I'm trying to weigh up whether the experience is worthy compared to spending that time exploring more within the city itself.
Has anyone made the day trip to Marathon from Athens? Was it an enriching experience, and what are the can't-miss sights? Is the archeological site/museum there engaging enough for a history buff? Also, how about the logistics – is it easy to get to by public transport, or would you suggest renting a car or going with a tour?
I am just trying to decide if it's worth it, or if I should plan to stay overnight. Thanks!
