Founded
in prehistoric times, the Greek capital city Athens has now
become a thriving metropolis. Despite the urban setting, the
city is full of visible history. The remarkable Acropolis,
ancient Agora, and Hadrian’s Gate all stand as reminders of
Athens’ long past. But for those who prefer the present,
Athens offers shopping in the Plaka, dining in countless
fine restaurants and late-night partying at the discos.
The sunny
island of Mykonos is a vacationer’s dream come true. Known
as the most cosmopolitan of the Greek Isles, it offers deep
blue waters, sandy beaches and a thriving nightlife. On the
other hand, the charm of whitewashed houses, blue-domed
churches and traditional windmills makes this an island
paradise.
Rhodes,
the Island of Roses, is one of the most popular destinations
among the Greek Isles. Officially recognized as the sunniest
location in Europe, Rhodes has much to offer: the medieval
architecture the old harbors of Rhodes Town and Lindos,
dozens of award-winning beaches and numerous diving and
sailing facilities. Rhodes is also an excellent place to
catch a ferry to Marmaris, Turkey.
