Athens’ Acropolis Arch<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"Things<\/p>\n

Our journey begins in the heart of ancient Greece\u2019s history \u2014Athens. A UNESCO world heritage site, the Acropolis is the epitome of classic Greece. Behold the Erechtheion, Parthenon, and more historical marvels that will transport you to another era. Another highlight of the Acropolis is that you\u2019ll also find beautiful panoramic views over the city.<\/p>\n

Mycenae:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"Things<\/p>\n

The archaeological site of Mycenae is rich in myth and history. Investigate the old fortress, wander the majestic Lion Gate, and pay a visit to the Tomb of Atreus (Beehive type), which is a treasure. The Mycenaean civilization\u2019s central hub was this location.<\/p>\n

Naxos:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"Naxos\"<\/p>\n

The largest of the Islands of the Cyclades, and also one of the most charming, Naxos provides you with enough variety to fill your holiday schedule up. Discover the enchanting Medieval Old Town, go hiking up to the top of Mount Zeus or simply lie back on the idyllic beaches & explore ancient ruins such as the Temple of Apollo.<\/p>\n

Epidaurus is famously known for its ancient theatre, with an amazing sound system. See a show (or just take in the gorgeous building.) I highly recommend checking out the nearby Sanctuary of Asklepios as well as the on-site archaeological museum.<\/p>\n

Hydra:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"Hydra\"<\/p>\n

Get away from it all on car-free Hydra. Discover the picturesque harbor town, hike to reach stunning the Monastery of Profitis Ilias, and bask in the sun at stunning beaches. Hydra is a hidden gem, its cobbled streets and historical charm offer an experience not to be missed.<\/p>\n

Thessaloniki:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"Thessaloniki\"<\/p>\n

The second-biggest (oft-forgotten city of Athens), Thessaloniki has a stunning cultural scene. Take your time to visit the White Tower (it\u2019s worth spending at least 1,5 hours there), wander about the Rotunda, and then stroll through the Ano Poli (Old Town ). [Read my full review of Thessaloniki here! Don\u2019t miss out on the vibrant nightlife of Thessaloniki or its delicious street food.<\/p>\n

Rhodes:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"Rhodes\"<\/p>\n

In contrast with much of Crete, however, the island of Rhodes exhibits an impressive fusion of both ancient and medieval history. Wander around the romantic Old Town, a Unesco world heritage site, and visit the palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes. Remember to relax at stunning beaches and try water activities.<\/p>\n

Delphi:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"Delphi\"<\/p>\n

Discover Greek mythology in Delphi, which the ancients believed was the center of the world. Discover those secrets now at the Temple of Apollo and the Delphi Archaeological Museum. The mythical land of Delphi is nestled in the mountains between rolling green hills and impressive ancient ruins giving visitors an enchanting place to visit.<\/p>\n

Meteora<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"Meteora\"<\/p>\n

Perched atop giant stone columns, the monasteries of Meteora are magnificent spiritual and visual delights. Visit the monastery\u2019s relics, follow the walking paths, and enjoy the vistas. It\u2019s a photographer\u2019s fantasy- gorgeous buildings and sweeping landscapes make for unforgettable images.<\/p>\n
