midwestchick Posted September 13, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 13, 2014 But, I just heard from my tour company that they are removing the port. :confused: I was not aware of that. Does anyone know why and will ACC change ports if we are to dock in Siracusa and there is no dock or will they just tender? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelBugM Posted September 13, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 13, 2014 We are to dock in Siracusa as well. I will contact my TA and see if he knows anything or what he can find out. Actually, does the ship not dock in Ortigia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, does the ship not dock in Ortigia? The port is called Siracusa, according to my travel documents, but Siracusa/Ortigia is pretty much one in the same. I've done a google search but didn't come up with anything. I think Ortigia is right there when you get off the ship. I did ask a TA....he said they are the last to know anything. I don't know if Bonnie could shed some light on this or not. I just wanted to be sure they were at least going to tender there since I have my tour all lined up for pick up at the port of Siracusa.

momcat Posted September 15, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I have my tour all lined up for pick up at the port of Siracusa. Would you mind telling me what kind of tour you have booked? We will be on the Miami to Athens cruise next May and I have been looking into independent tours without much luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you post your e-mail and I will send them to you when I get back from the cruise. I cannot post those on this forum. I've found a couple really good tour operators.

mzk90 Posted September 16, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) Was there in August. Yes they are rebuilding/revamping the pier, so the ship tendered. Wasn't a problem. Basically the tenders drop you right where Ortigia joins Siracusa. Edited September 16, 2014 by mzk90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
