Roads? Where you're going you don't need roads... but don't rule out a romantic gondola ride or a water taxi. Welcome to Venice, with its network of canals, rich history and composition of over 100 small islands in the Adriatic Sea.
One of the most popular features of this Northern Italy capital is the Grand Canal, once a major center of the Renaissance. Be sure to see the central square Piazza San Marco, where all can marvel at Byzantine mosaics, the Campanile bell and St. Mark’s Basilica. Fine art, stunning architecture, white limestone bridges, moving about via watercraft... Venice is a singular experience and an astonishing masterpiece of civilization. Summer is the busiest time to visit, so plan accordingly. If you're looking for an unforgettable costume party, visit during Venice Carnival from the end of February to the beginning of March. |

The Bay of Kotor, a beautiful fjord-like inlet along the Adriatic coast, is one of Montenegro’s most captivating destinations. Enclosed by mountains, the bay is dotted with historic towns, medieval fortifications, and centuries-old churches, making it a must-visit location for travelers looking to explore a unique coastal landscape. The town of Kotor, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the heart of the bay and is known for its well-preserved medieval old town. Surrounded by ancient stone walls, its winding alleys lead to charming squares, historic cathedrals, and cafes. Nearby, the town of Perast provides access to the iconic islets of Our Lady of the Rocks and St. George, both steeped in local legend and history. Adventurers can find plenty to do, from hiking up the fortress of San Giovanni for panoramic views of the bay to taking scenic boat trips that explore the coastline. The region’s calm waters are perfect for kayaking and sailing, while the surrounding mountains offer picturesque trails. The local food is a delightful mix of Mediterranean and Balkan flavors, with fresh seafood, olive oils, and locally produced wines. Traditional coastal dishes, such as black risotto and grilled fish, can be enjoyed at waterfront restaurants that offer stunning views of the bay. |

Eluding Ottoman oppression sure makes you beautiful!

"At Sea" typically refers to the vast and diverse marine environments that span our planet, rather than a specific city or destination. However, exploring the concept of being "at sea" can lead to a variety of fascinating experiences and attractions related to maritime adventures and oceanic wonders. One of the most enticing ways to experience "at sea" is through a luxury cruise. Cruises offer a unique opportunity to explore various destinations while enjoying the comforts and amenities of a floating resort. Modern cruise ships provide a blend of relaxation and adventure with activities ranging from fine dining and Broadway-style shows to excursions exploring tropical islands or historical coastal cities. For those interested in marine life, exploring the world's oceans through scuba diving or snorkeling can be an unforgettable experience. Locations such as the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the coral reefs of Belize offer stunning underwater vistas and an opportunity to observe diverse marine species in their natural habitats. National Geographic provides insights into the best diving spots and conservation efforts that protect these underwater treasures. |

Nafplion, a picturesque coastal town in the Peloponnese, is often hailed as one of Greece's most charming and romantic destinations. As the first capital of modern Greece, Nafplion boasts a rich history, evident in its well-preserved neoclassical buildings, Venetian fortresses, and Ottoman influences. Stroll through the old town's narrow, cobbled streets, where vibrant bougainvillea frames balconies and traditional tavernas invite you to savor authentic Greek cuisine. The town's unique blend of history and beauty makes it an ideal destination for travelers seeking both cultural depth and scenic splendor. One of Nafplion's most iconic landmarks is the Palamidi Fortress, perched high on a hill overlooking the town and the Argolic Gulf. Climbing the 999 steps to the fortress is a rewarding challenge, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Another must-see is the Bourtzi Castle, located on a small islet in the harbor. Originally built by the Venetians in the 15th century, Bourtzi has served various roles throughout history, including as a fortress, a prison, and even a hotel. Today, it stands as a symbol of Nafplion and is accessible by a short boat ride from the harbor. For a deeper dive into Nafplion's past, visit the Archaeological Museum, housed in a grand Venetian building in Syntagma Square. The museum's collection spans from the Neolithic period to the Roman era, with highlights including Mycenaean pottery and Bronze Age armor. Additionally, the Komboloi Museum offers a unique cultural experience, showcasing a vast collection of worry beads, a traditional Greek accessory with roots in ancient times. Fun Fact: Nafplion is known as the "Town of the Firsts" because it was not only the first capital of modern Greece but also the site of the first Greek Parliament, the first Greek printing press, and the first official school. This legacy of firsts makes Nafplion a place of historical significance and pride for the Greek people . Arrive Time: 8:00 AM – Depart Time: 5:00 PM

Ancient history comes alive in Athens, the capital of Greece. Gaze in wonder at the Acropolis and its iconic crown, the Parthenon. Take a deeper dive into the past and visit both the Acropolis Museum and the National Archaeological Museum, which house fascinating artifacts from this ancient city.
With influences Byzantine, Roman and Ottoman, Athens contains multitudes. The city's architecture and cuisine reflect these influences in a most elegant way. It's not all antiquity, though – Athens still exhibits a modern cool, with eye-catching street art, nightlife and music festivals beckoning new generations. A lively energy is afoot at the Agora-Athens Central Market, where locals shop, and visitors find amazing, reasonably priced meals. A stroll through the Plaka, Athens' oldest neighborhood, is also a must for shopping and eating at outdoor restaurants. Visit Athens between March and May, and from September to November, as the weather is comfortable and there are thinner crowds. You will also find that hotels and flights are a bit easier to reserve. |
