Bozcaada Island, also known as Tenedos, offers spectacular views of the cerulean Aegean Sea, where a diverse array of underwater flora invites you to see more beneath the waves.

Beyond the shores, whitewashed houses in the Greek style decorated with vibrant foliage line the narrow, cobblestone streets.

Skiathos, Greece
Arrive: 09:00:00
Depart: 19:00:00

The Aegean boasts many treasures, a few of which you can find on the Sporades archipelago. Skiathos, the westernmost island of this chain, is blessed with more than 60 legendary beaches. Among the most popular is Koukounaries Beach, backed by pine trees and touted as the best beach in Greece. The northwest coast's beaches are less crowded, but are subject to the strong summer northeasterly winds. For incredible windsurfing, head west of Koukounaries to Agia Eleni Beach. Perched dramatically on a rocky headland above the north coast is the original site of Kastro, the fortified pirate-proof capital of the island from 1540 to 1829. ...

Athens (Port of Piraeus), Greece
Arrive: 08:00:00
Depart: 22:00:00

Athens is still as iconic as ever. Winding pathways from ancient times transformed into modern-day roads and streets lead you to the Acropolis and other archaeological sites. It is a land soaked in history and mythology, but not stuck in the past. As you wend through back alleys, passing the street art, and getting serenaded by street musicians, you are never lost. You are simply taking a journey to an unknown destination. You may find yourself at the likes of the Church of the Holy Apostles at the southeast corner of the Ancient Agora, a less-crowded historical site away from the flocks of tourists. Try your hand at haggling with local vendors at the Plaka or Monastiraki flea market. There are so many handmade wares and trinkets to peruse and purchase. Keep an eye out for the more risque souvenirs if you want a good laugh. Aside from venturing through the cradle of Western Civilization, you can explore the port of Piraeus. It is the biggest port in Greece and one of the most important ports of the Mediterranean. Centuries of history have transformed this seaside town from a wartime fortress to a major shipping and transportation center. ...

Zakynthos, Greece
Arrive: 12:00:00
Depart: 23:00:00

Its natural wonders, from geological arches lining the coast to enticing caves among cerulean waters, create an unparalleled scene that must be appreciated in person. The island of Zakynthos, also known as Zante, is an unspoiled paradise along the Ionian Sea. It's easy to spend a relaxing day getting some sun as you lay on silky white sands along the shore of water that goes from blue to bluer. For the traveling beach bum that likes to go shore hopping, Zakynthos is the perfect destination. Along Navagio, also known as Shipwreck Beach, if you are looking for stories of adventure, you will not be disappointed. Following the paths along the cliffs above the beach will take your breath away as you look upon the unbelievable horizon. The square in Zakynthos town comes alive at all hours, abuzz with activity throughout the day and into the night. Shops, cafes, and restaurants abound, making it the perfect place to grab a helping of spanakopita, a spinach pie, while perusing the local wares and trinkets to take home. There is nothing like sitting at a cafe with a cup of brew in hand while a soothing sea breeze blows by. Zante's nightlife rivals that of more famous Greek islands Mykonos and Ios. Many establishments that operate as restaurants during the day convert into clubs with drinks and dancing at night. But you can always choose a quieter evening. A midnight stroll under the lights along the port's walkway, inhaling sea salt, and listening for the lull of water lapping against the ships makes the perfect end to the day. ...

A picturesque jewel perched elegantly on the cliffs of Sicily, Taormina has a story as old as time in every corner. Ascend the awe-inspiring Mount Etna, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. An excursion here is more than a hike; it's an adventure through history, legend, and raw earth. As you traverse its dramatic landscapes, feel the powerful heartbeat of the island and the stories of mythological deities echoing through the trails. Unravel the ambrosial secrets of Sicily's cuisine and wines. Journey through vineyards and partake in tastings that let every sip tell tales of grape varietals transformed by the unique, volcanic terroir. Step into the past with a visit to the ancient Greek Theatre. The grandeur of this amphitheater, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the azure Ionian Sea, will transport you to a bygone era of arts and drama. Wander through the charming cobblestone streets of Taormina's historic center.

Along the Amalfi Coast, life may give you lemons, but it is far from sour as the Path of Lemons takes you through the famous groves from where Italy's famed limoncello derives. As you wander through Amalfi's grand architecture and historical constructs, you may find your way to Ravello. Ravello's winding streets and staircases are perfect for travelers who prefer the wanderlust route of getting lost in a city. ...
