As both the heart of history and a bustling modern metropolis, Greece's ancient capital of Athens is one of Europe's hottest year-round destinations.

Athens is one of the most famous destinations on the Eastern Mediterranean coast. It has many things that you'll love — great history, culture, food and people. The city is also easy to navigate on foot, since the Acropolis is in view around much of the city centre.

From Athens, springboard your way to the oh-so-popular Greek Islands, Mykonos, Santorini and Milos, just to name a few. Get ready to island hop and expect cascading hills, as well as ultra-cool clay villas with some of the most breathtaking views you’ll ever see.
