Explore breathtaking, white-washed towns perched high on dramatic cliffs overlooking the azure Aegean Sea, discover sun-drenched hidden beaches with crystal-clear waters, and engage with local fishermen and charismatic villagers in charming small ports where larger ships can’t go. Roam the romantic mainland town of Nafplio and take in views from the hilltop Castle of Palamidi, one of the best-preserved castles in Greece. Visit the Grotto of St. John and witness nuns making honey and fruit liquor on the islet of Patmos. On the legendary island of Santorini, sip coffee while admiring the dramatic village of Oia. Wind around the narrow streets of secluded Monemvasia—a pedestrian-only village built into a cliffside. On the isle of Syros, visit the Venetian-influenced capital of Ermoupoli with neoclassical architecture and lively activity in Miaouli Square. An important center of Hellenic culture, Samos boasts the famous Heraion UNESCO site where the goddess Hera was born according to Greek mythology. A late night in Naxos allows the luxury of time to explore and relax. Spend the day at some of the most beautiful beaches in the Cyclades or hike Mount Zas for breathtaking panoramic views. The delight of one late night in port leads to another the following day at Folegandros, one of the Cyclades’ most picturesque islands. Its wild natural landscape and unspoiled charm are a photographer’s dream.  And for something 180 degrees from ordinary, embark on the lunar-like landscape of Milos. This voyage blends traditional ancient sites with an intriguing hidden side of Greece most travelers have never seen and won’t soon forget.

With 3,000 years of history, you can’t turn around in Athens without encountering the past. The Acropolis, a UNESCO site, the Plaka, and the Acropolis Museum are must-sees. But leave time if you can to climb Pnyx Hill for photos of the Parthenon at sunset, to buy your own set of Greek komboloi (worry beads), and to explore the metro stations that serve as mini-museums for the relics that are constantly being unearthed. 

Ermoupoli, the capital of Syros, opens the door to a little-known Greek island packed with rainbow-colored houses clinging to the hillsides. Not much has changed here since medieval times and the narrow cobblestone streets full of stairways and arches create a delightful maze. Sites to see include the Aghios Georgios Cathedral at the top of the hill, the Capuchin and Jesuit monasteries, and the picturesque main square known as the Piatsa.

Few places offer such a rich combination of history and scenic beauty. In Ephesus, one of the greatest outdoor museums in the world, you’ll explore legendary sites steeped in history. Also visit the houses of Bulbul Mountain, where the roof of one forms the terrace of the next. This evening we present our Destination Discovery Event -- dinner in the moonlight and a concert near the  Celsus Library or on Harbour Street in ancient Ephesus.
