    Athens (Port of Piraeus), Greece
    • Athens (Port of Piraeus), Greece
    • Depart: 22:00:00
    Athens is still as iconic as ever. Winding pathways from ancient times transformed into modern-day roads and streets lead you to the Acropolis and other archaeological sites. It is a land soaked in history and mythology, but not stuck in the past. As you wend through back alleys, passing the street art, and getting serenaded by street musicians, you are never lost. You are simply taking a journey to an unknown destination. You may find yourself at the likes of the Church of the Holy Apostles at the southeast corner of the Ancient Agora, a less-crowded historical site away from the flocks of tourists. Try your hand at haggling with local vendors at the Plaka or Monastiraki flea market. There are so many handmade wares and trinkets to peruse and purchase. Keep an eye out for the more risque souvenirs if you want a good laugh. Aside from venturing through the cradle of Western Civilization, you can explore the port of Piraeus. It is the biggest port in Greece and one of the most important ports of the Mediterranean. Centuries of history have transformed this seaside town from a wartime fortress to a major shipping and transportation center. ...

    Narrow, winding streets between the iconic architecture of whitewashed houses with blue domes create the archetypal image of modern-day Greece. Dotting the horizon up on the hill lie the renowned windmills among the Cyclades. The aroma of an old bakery, which still uses a 15th-century, wood-burning stove, entices you with the delicious scents of Greek pastries and baked goods. It is not a visit to Mykonos without sampling the local favorite, loukoumades, fried dough dripped in honey, and sometimes topped with sesame seeds. Raise a glass to new friends and adventure with a round of ouzo and a serving of mostra at a local taverna. Taking the ferry to Delos, you reach an uninhabited island dedicated solely as an archeological site known as the birth site of the sun god Apollo. It's the only island in the world entirely comprised of ruins. ...

    Within Crete's Mirabello Bay lies the charming town of Agios Nikolaos, a mix of cosmopolitan luxury, ancient ruins, and intriguing mythology. The picturesque inner harbor of Voulismeni, which legend has it that the lake is bottomless and where once the goddess Athena bathed in it, paints a quaint scene with colorful bobbing boats, tavernas, cafes, and bars. Savor the fresh catch of the day at a local eatery as you and your fellow explorers get ready for an adventure. Share a bottle of Cretan raki (or tsikoudia) with new friends, a traditional ritual that represents hospitality, communication and friendship. Tucked within the waterfront are cozy beaches Kitroplatia and Ammos, offering glittering views of the gulf. Up the road sits the elegant resort village of Elounda and just across the way is the Spinalonga Peninsula. Here you and your friends will find pristine wilderness and immaculate beaches, hidden away from the crowds. ...

With charming villages that still practice local traditions and only the southern side developed for tourism, it's a destination that offers an authentic Greek experience. Pristine beaches and natural landscapes of rugged cliffs dotted with verdant forests invite you and your fellow explorers to discover a mostly untouched world. The remote islet of Saria offers a white-sand beach amid a rocky scene that inspires a true sense of exploration. History comes to life at the Acropolis of Arkassa and Ancient Potideon archaeological ruins. Gather a group of adventurers to set off in search of the Cave of Poseidon, a natural geological feature where mythology feels real. Once you and your friends have worked up an appetite, stop at a local restaurant to try one of the island's specialties, myzithropites, savory pies stuffed with mytzithra cheese. ...

Savor the rich tapestry of Rhodesian cuisine, a delightful medley of fresh seafood, sweet honey-soaked desserts, and locally pressed olive oil. Toast to new adventures with a glass of wine from nearby vineyards. The luscious varieties are as enchanting as the island's stories of ancient vintners. Visit the ancient ruins of Kamiros, an archaeological gem that narrates tales of prosperity and ambition.

Countless historical sites and ruins abound in the region, from the Basilica of St. John to the House of the Virgin Mary. A visit to Ephesus makes it easy to step into the past and imagine life among the locals in times before. Nothing invokes that feeling more than the ruins of the Library of Celsus, an ancient Roman site where its namesake is buried in a crypt beneath it. This archaeological zone still buzzes with activity, as archaeologists continue to dig through the ruins and discover its secrets. To walk among the excavations as scientists continue to unearth the site's remnants makes it hard not to get swept up in the history.
