Climb to the top of Acropolis Hill; and you’ll encounter the ancient Parthenon, one of the ancient world’s great wonder. See the changing of the guard outside Parliament, known for the pom-poms on their shoes above everything else. It’s only a short ride down to the city’s port, Piraeus, where you can catch a ferry to the Greek Islands.

Venture into the wooded hills of this delightful Greek island to avoid the crowds that throng its popular resorts. This strategically located ancient hub has been settled since the 8th Century and is now one of the best places in Greece to relax, party or explore under the summer sunshine and clear blue skies.
