Eastern Med Sea Conditions in July

[Cheryann]

Can someone please tell me what the sea conditions will be in the eastern mediterranean in July? We will be on the Odyssey from Istanbul to Athens. This is our first cruise and we have no idea what to expect. Thanks!

Calm :)

Yes, mostly calm,although one year on the legend at the end of June we had a storm force 11 :eek::eek::eek: storm, when we were sailing to Portofino!

Captain said it was a freak storm and to my knowledge extremely unusual!

 

I'm sure you'll be fine, just take your sea sickness tablets with you just in case.

Thanks Tilly and Seapenarth. Don't know why I'm apprehensive about the seas. We have been deep sea fishing in rough seas without a problem, but...... Guess I'm just so excited about our trip on the Odyssey that I don't want anything to interfere!

Not sure Portofino is Eastern Med ?

[Tillylovesseabourn]

No,but the cruise covered that area also, and the only area which we had problems was in portofino,as I say this was a freak storm also!

 

Hope this clears things up seapenarth:)
