Greece: Athens & Isles
From Athens' majestic Acropolis and Parthenon to the must-see ancient Agora, you'll explore the renowned capital of Greece with its rich history and culture. After the hustle and bustle, fly to the island of Naxos for a relaxing stay in one of our favorite Greek Isles. With ancient ruins, beautiful beaches and the family-run olive farms, you'll see why. Cap it off with a ferry to stunning Santorini, wandering the sun-drenched, whitewashed buildings and sipping wine (we suggest the Assyrtiko) while you watch the sunset.
