Day 1 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.
Day 2 Antiquity is everywhere on the island of Rhodes, from its cobbled Old Town to a mighty acropolis presiding high over the town of Lindos. Ancient ruins recall Crusades-era occupation and Ottoman tyranny, but today, a rather magical Aegean lifestyle is predominant. Travelers will enjoy excellent food, picturesque beaches, buzzing nightlife, and snorkeling in clear waters. Some must-sees here include the Palace of the Grandmaster of the Knights of Rhodes (a medieval castle), the Colossus of Rhodes statue, and the nature reserve Valley of the Butterflies.

Arrive Time: 9:00 AM – Depart Time: 6:00 PM
Day 3 Cut length wise by the Turkish/Greek border, the island of Cyprus leads two lives. The Turkish side is traditional and Islamic, while the Greek side is a very modern vacation destination. Limassol is Greek Cyprus's largest city. In the 12th century, it was headquarters for invading crusaders. Nearby Kourion contains an ancient Greek city with a sanctuary of Apollo overlooking the sea.

Arrive Time: 11:00 AM – Depart Time: 9:00 PM
Day 4 "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.
Day 5 Bodrum is a resort town on the dazzling blue bay, in which the Aegean and the Mediterranean Seas meet. The town's charm is well-known, attracting a diverse population of vacationers who stroll along its long palm-lined waterfront, while elegant yachts crowd the marina. Not far from town , you can swim in absolutely clear, tideless, warm seas.

Arrive Time: 8:00 AM – Depart Time: 5:00 PM
Day 6 Reshaped by volcanic activity, the rugged yet enchanting Santorini beckons all seafaring souls in the Aegean Sea.

Visitors to this breathtaking and romantic Cyclades archipelago will gaze at the whitewashed cubiform houses sitting cliffside and hovering over the water.

Santorini is technically an active volcano, and perhaps the only volcano on the planet with its crater situated in the sea. But don't worry too much; the last eruption was 3600 years ago. Instead, couples and tourists should explore, taste the local wine, and lounge in the sun on black sand beaches. As the sun sets dramatically, visitors will find a taverna or bar and toast their impeccable taste in travel destinations.

Arrive Time: 7:00 AM – Depart Time: 10:00 PM
Day 7 This gorgeous, breezy island is a lively paradise without equal. A celebratory atmosphere will be found here, from dance clubs and DJs to summer tourists simply reveling in the good life. It is said that Mykonos is Greece's answer to Ibiza.

Mykonos, part of the Cyclades archipelago, has azure waters and a cosmopolitan flair. Visitors and locals alike lounge on the beach, find quiet on its country roads and enjoy a thriving culinary scene. Tourists should see the famous Mykonos windmills and the island's Archaeological Museum to further appreciate this idyllic destination.

Arrive Time: 7:00 AM – Depart Time: 5:00 PM
Day 8 Ancient history comes alive in Athens, the capital of Greece. Gaze in wonder at the Acropolis and its iconic crown, the Parthenon.
