Greece

A mainland filled with history and ruins, islands bathed in sun - Greece is gorgeous!

Athens. Home to the Parthenon and so much more!

Nestled on the summits of vertical rock formations an average of 1000 ft up, and dating from the 14th century, the monasteries of Meteora are unique!  Access required climbing up rocks and ladders until 1929. At one point there were 24  but now only 6 remain available to visit.

Dating from the 8th century B.C., this is the ancient city of Delphi, considered by ancient Greeks to be the center of the world and also home to the famed mythological Oracle of Delphi, the Temple of Apollo, and the first Panhellenic Pythian Games, among other significant structures. Zoom in to the stacked stones, and you will see original inscriptions and a drawing on an entrance stone to the Treasury of Apollo.

After the hustle and bustle of Athens, it’s nice to relax and wind down amid the splendor that awaits on the islands. The first stop is Mykonos!

Scenic views from villas perched along the tops of the caldera cliff sides; fine dining on patios while the sunset casts a pink glow that slowly gets replaced by the colorful lights of villas and pools; beaches of black, red, and white sand; catamaran cruises to enjoy the waters of the Aegean Sea; and the remains of a 3600-year-old town. Santorini is simply breathtaking from every angle!
