How to travel the Mediterranean
How I did it: I took a two week cruise that traveled to six ports in Greece, two cities in Turkey, and one city in Egypt. There are shore excursions for each port, but we only went on one in Egypt to the pyramids b/c they are 3 hours away from the ship. Other places are easy to travel on own by taxi and walking.
Lessons & tips: Greece uses euros; Turkey prefers euros, but you can use Turkish money; Egypt takes any money and will even trade you your pens and keychains for souvenirs.
