Take an archaeological walk past landmarks like the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Ancient Agora, the Hellenic Parliament, and of course, no trip to Athens is complete without a visit to the Acropolis.

The capital, Fira, clings to the rim of the caldera 900 feet above sea. Take the cable car or giddy up on a donkey to climb the 588 steps to the top. Or head to the clifftop of Oia and take in the beauty of the countryside and traditional artisan villages. Finish your day with a glass of Vinsanto and plenty of postcard-worthy sunset photos.

Known for having “three faces to the sea”, this port on Crete’s east coast seamlessly blends the charm of a small fishing village with the glamor of a chic resort town. With a diverse range of dining, shopping, and nightlife options, you can find your own personal paradise in Agios Nikolaos.

Historic Rhodes will transport you back to the days of the Byzantine Empire. First on the agenda should be the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Stroll through the stunning seaside villages of Lindos, where dramatic landscapes and archaeological wonders await.

The star attraction of Kusadasi is Ephesus. Once the second largest city in the Roman Empire, it’s marble-made Arcadian Street stretches from the 24,000-capacity Great Theatre. Nearby sites include the magnificent 2,000-year-old library Celsus, the Temple of Artemis, Basilica of St. John and the House of the Virgin Mary, where Mary is supposed to have spent her last days.

Spend your day strolling delightful cobblestone streets and visiting artisan craft shops. Or get a glimpse of Petros the Pelican, the most famous Pelican in the world!
