Athens to Istanbul - 2022

Day 1 - 4

Linda and I arrived in Athens, Greece pretty much on time after nearly a 9.5 hour flight from Chicago. That's a long time to be confined to a little 17" seat. After retrieving our luggage, we were whisked away to the Athens Marriott where our room awaited us. We were able to go directly to a room at 10am. After a short rest we had a nice lunch. We did a late day walkabout in the neighborhood around the hotel. On Wednesday, we were transported to the ship, the Azamara Onward, where our papers were checked, double check, and then checked again. We were in our stateroom by 3pm ready to sail away. The next day we were greeted by sunrise as we approached Mykonos. We were there from sunrise to sunset.
