This was our first ‘long’ holiday abroad since 2019 and our first-ever cruise, so we weren’t sure what to expect (other than what we’d seen on YouTube). We flew to Athens a few days before the cruise to explore Athens and make sure that we were in time for Virgin Voyages’s newest ship at the time, Resilient Lady. Athens was definitely worth a visit and was very affordable. We probably wouldn’t return, unless using the port but would still say visit if you never have!
