No, it is not Athens. But in today’s geography it is about as close as you can get. I got as close as the terminal and decided that I had been here before. In fact several times and had no need to go further.
It was early, just after 0400 if you want the truth and well before sunrise when we sailed in. I was on the Promenade Deck before going up to Deck 11 just for a different view.
As the sun came up, I was back in the VC Lounge.
As you can tell – port city. Major harbor for ferries to all of the islands.
What I also found out is that there is now a new Terminal C. Where the Lion used to stand at the end of the harbor guarding the area there is now a vast area of cement, parking, buses and a new terminal building. The cafe is gone as well. Perhaps it was so when I came through last fall – I didn’t explore all that much at that visit either.
Oh – and then there was this

chocolate, chocolate mousse and berries
