Where to Go.
What to Expect.

Ancient wonders, surprisingly accessible

Athens earned our first five-wheelchair rating. A dedicated elevator whisks wheelchair users to the top of the Acropolis while everyone else climbs. The Acropolis Museum is fully accessible and world-class. Modern Athens has great restaurants and beaches — though some neighborhoods have challenging cobblestone streets.

Breathtaking views, honest accessibility challenges

Santorini is one of the most beautiful places on earth — and one of the most challenging for wheelchair users. The iconic clifftop villages of Oia and Fira are built on steep volcanic caldera walls with narrow, stepped paths. That said, with the right guide and planning, you can still experience the magic from accessible vantage points.

Vibrant island life with mixed accessibility

Mykonos Town (Chora) is a maze of narrow whitewashed alleys — beautiful but difficult for wheelchairs. However, the island's beaches, restaurants, and newer resort areas are much more accessible. With a good guide and the right base, Mykonos delivers the Greek island experience.

Accessible historic sites — but read our excursion story before you book

Selçuk is a small town in western Turkey with genuinely accessible historic sites — the İsa Bey Mosque, the Basilica of St. John, and the ruins of ancient Ephesus are all within a compact, flat district. Our group visited on a Celebrity Infinity shore excursion that was supposed to take us to the House of the Virgin Mary. We were taken here instead. The sites are worth visiting — but know what you are booking before you go.
