Athens & Greek Isles, Greece - Vacation Packages

The capital of Greece, cradle of democracy, birthplace of Western Civilization - Athens is a vibrant city where old and new co-exist. The majestic Parthenon rises above the city, its ancient glory still visible in the timeworn stone, and the National Archaeological Museum holds countless treasures from Athens’ Golden Age.

Athens is a bustling metropolis that always has something going on. It’s a city entrenched in the past but surrounded by the future. Late spring and early fall will find nice weather, ample accommodation and relatively clear beaches. With a good tourism infastructure in place after the 2004 Olympics, it may be time to give Athens another chance. Add on a 3 or 4 night cruise to the Greek Isles & Turkey - Rhodes, Patmos, Kusadasi, Mykonos - and more white sand and clear seas await.
