[fionayan8687]

Hi everyone, I booked the Itinerary of Greek Islands & Turkey(7nights) of EC life on 7th June.

Juz now I hv received the email, telling me the Itinerary is changed.
EC life will not go to samos island, but stay longer in Syros.

Is it good?

I'm curious as well. Has anyone been to both the islands?

Fionayan - Hi and welcome to the boards! From what I can tell of the schedule I think it is a good change. It appears that you will be arriving into the ports earlier each day and in my opinion I see that as a definite improvement.

I think it's probably a good change on the whole too. It seemed a shame to be arriving at Syros at 11pm on what for many would be the end of a hectic day of travel when you're likely to be too tired to make the most of it.
The only downside I can see is that now there really is little choice on the first evening but to eat on the boat. So if you were planning on waiting for a late supper on Syros, you're now out of luck.
For me, I don't think I could have waited that long for my food anyway:D

in fact,
I heard that samos is a transfer port usually,
does it mean that there is not many special things to see?
