The best and cheapest way to get around any city is by walking. Boat, bike, train, tram or bus are also options if you prefer. Read more about transportation in Naples here!

Additional Information:

Welcome to your first SAS port! While in country, voyagers have the option to either sleep on the ship, or purchase their own accommodations in the city. Personally, I recommend doing both, but also saving money where you can for ports that you are more excited for. Here is where all those nights sleeping on the ship while in port will come in handy! Island hoping in Greece is a bucket list experience so I highly recommend going all out and traveling around. You only have about 3 days in Greece so get ready to make the most of it.

From Piraeus I would travel to Athens where you would catch a flight to Mykonos followed by Santorini before making your way back to Athens and the ship. It will be a lot of traveling in a short amount of time but it will be so worth it.

You can travel by ferry between islands but it is much slower than flying. Here is some helpful information of getting from Athens to Mykonos, Mykonos to Santorini, Santorini to Athens, and Athens to Piraeus. Athens is only about 20 minutes away from the port of Piraeus so keep that in mind when traveling! There will probably be some really cool field programs here so look out for those.

Additional Information:

Welcome to Cyprus! Remember when I said to sleep on the ship if you can? Well this might be the port you want to consider. With only being in country for 3 days, and the island being fairly small, I would recommend sleeping on the ship and going out to explore the island during the day. You can drive around the entire island of Cyprus in just a few hours I would not worry about over night travel here. Public transportation is limited to taxi and bus. Taxis run on a predetermined route so check out this website for more information!

The best way to get around Dubrovink is by ferry or taxi. Taxis range from 10-30 euros (11.8 – 36.8 USD) depending on destination.

Additional Information:

Just like Cyprus, I also recommend sleeping on the ship and saving money on hotels here in Malta. With Malta being such a small Island, traveling around and taking day trips to different areas is not going to be a problem at all! The island is so small you could eve walk around it in about 3 hours if you wanted. The public bus service is a great way to get around if you do not prefer walking. Enjoy a few relaxing days on this beautiful island and use this to your advantage when saving money for larger and more expensive ports.

Spain is one of my favorite countries when it comes to food! I highly highly recommend a food tour since they are so much fun and it will allow you to try all the delicious food this country has to offer. There is so much to do in Barcelona so if you choose not to travel to another city, there will be enough in the port city to keep you busy! However, if you do decide to travel to the capital city of Madrid, here are different routes and prices to consider. Like I keep saying, all those nights sleeping on the ship in smaller countries will help save money for ports, like Spain, if you are trying to travel on a budget!

Additional Information:

Morocco is such a fun country, and to ensure that you see everything during the time you are here I highly recommend participating in an overnight field program. Yes, they can be expensive but I believe this is one of the countries that SAS offers the best programs for. Two of the most popular are the camel trekking and the blue city adventure, which I signed up for (they are around $700 each for 4 days including food and hotel). If you decide to travel morocco yourself, you can either stay in Casablanca and take day trips (best option in my opinion) or travel and spend the night in different cities. Always make sure you are with a group at all times.Please never travel alone in Morocco!!

By taking day trips you will save money for some of the more expensive ports since since you can sleep on the ship. If you decide to overnight travel, plane will be your best option as it is the safest and fastest. Check out this website for some other options though!

When is Lisbon, the best way to get around is by foot. For the most part everything is in walking distance but if you aren’t a fan of walking, buses, trams, the metro are great options!

Bonjour! France is one of my favorite countries and I am so excited that SASSP22 is getting to experience this amazing place. Of course, I highly recommend traveling to Paris for your 3 day stay. There is so much to do in the city center and it will surely keep you busy. The train from Brest to Paris is about 3 and a half hours and only around 20 euros. Check out the RailEurope website for more information in this and to book tickets.

If you decide to spend a few days in Paris, the best way of transportation is by metro or just walking. GoogleMaps has a great feature for the subway system and will map out which lines you need to take to get to your final destination. Please beware of your surroundings in Paris. Pickpockets are there and they will take your things from you. Make sure your personal belongings are on your person and in a place that no one can get to.

If you like to travel around, Ireland is the perfect place to visit different cities while in port. Some of my favorites that I’ve been to are Kilkenny, Killarney, and Cork. You can take day trips from Dublin to many different places, so if you don’t want to travel and spend the night in different cities that is a great option! Traveling around Ireland isn’t the easiest but if you decide to hop around, bus will be your best option. I recommend hiring a company for day trips as it will make your travels so much easier!

Stockholm is such a fun city with so much to do! Since Stockholm is fairly small, and easy to get around, I recommend staying on the ship for most (or all) of the nights you will be in port. It is always a good idea to save some money when you can and be more prepared for the more expensive ports! The best way to get around Stockholm is by the transportation system. There are several bus lines, metro, commuter rails, trams, and ferries at a reasonable price. Biking is another option if you don’t have far to go. Taxis are expensive so I do recommend staying away from those.
