Day 1 · Greece

Athens (Piraeus)

Embarkation

Piraeus is the port of Athens, not a suburb of it: a working harbour big enough that terminals are a shuttle ride apart, half an hour southwest of the city. Nearly every Greek Isles itinerary starts here, and nearly everyone spends a day or two in Athens first, which is the right instinct.

Valiant Lady

Adults-only ship

The second Lady. Identical to Scarlet: no buffet, no main dining room, more than twenty places to eat, all in the fare. Ariya, the Indian-inspired Razzle Dazzle room, is hers.
