Embark on a roundtrip from Athens, weaving through some of Greece and Turkey’s most historic gems. Start by strolling Nafplion’s cobbled streets while drinking in the island’s tales of antiquity before enjoying a little fun in the sun in Mykonos’ azure waters. Sail next to Rhodes for its fusion of medieval wonders and beautiful beaches before an overnight in Kusadasi, perfect for an enchanting evening concert in Ephesus, among the ancient ruins. Follow with Patmos, where St John wrote his Book of Revelations, before returning to where you came.

Piraeus (Athens), Greece picture
Experience the vibrant and historic port of Piraeus, Athens gateway to the Aegean islands and beyond, and find a rich maritime heritage, a bustling local culture, and access to the wonders of Athens. Venture through Greece's largest port city, Piraeus, as you make your way to the cradle of Western culture and the birthplace of democracy. Athens, among the world's oldest cities with a history spanning 3,400 years, has long been the location of myth and muse, and its ancient heritage is still an incredible source of inspiration. Here, the Acropolis crowns the city as home to the Parthenon and other legendary temples and monuments.
