Barcelona

Barcelona ships dock at piers 2 to 3 km from the center, so the shuttle bus or a taxi is the main transport cost.

Rome (Civitavecchia)

Ships dock at Civitavecchia, about an hour by train from Rome, so the train fare and your return buffer drive the budget.

Naples

Naples ships berth close to the old town, and Pompeii is a cheap train ride away, so the big costs are the site ticket and tours.

Santorini

Santorini ships anchor in the caldera and tender guests to the Old Port, where a cable car, donkeys or 588 steps lead up to Fira.

Mykonos

Most Mykonos ships use the Tourlos pier, a short SeaBus or taxi ride from town, though some smaller ships tender.

Athens (Piraeus)

Ships dock at the Piraeus piers, and a 90-minute metro ticket of about $1.36 is the cheapest way toward the Acropolis.
