Athens captures the heart of its visitors. It's the capital city, vibrant in nature, exciting and exasperating, worldly and chic, a city that attacks the senses. It boasts art, culture, world-class museums, charming neighborhoods, exceptional food, lively people and glorious ancient gems such as the Acropolis and the iconic Parthenon. This city has a lot to offer and we promise you, it won't disappoint.
Explore the Acropolis, Parthenon, Temple of Nike, Hadrian's Gate, National Archaeological Museum, Greek Ancient Art Museum, Byzantine Museum, Temple of Poseidon, The Plaka, Syntagma Square, House of Parliament and so much more.
2 nights in Corinth
Corinth, along with Patras, is one of the two major gateways to the Peloponnese. It makes a pleasant daytrip by bus from Athens. The main attraction is the old town with ruins of the Roman times when Corinth was the capital of Greece. The old Roman market place, the museum and the fountain of Pereine are worth a visit. From the top of the "Acrocorinth", you can admire the ancient lower town. The Corinth Canal, carrying ship traffic between the western Mediterranean and the Aegean Sea, is about 2 miles east of the city.
Visit and explore the great Corinth Canal, Ancient Corinth, Temple of Apollo, Corinth Archaeological Museum, Acrocorinth, and so much more.
2 nights in Zakynthos Island
Zakynthos, also known by its Italian name Zante, is an island of two stories. The southern and southeastern shorelines are dominated by heavy – and often low-quality – package tourism, although even here there are some attractive lower-key bases hiding just out of sight of the larger, run-of-the-mill resorts; examples include Keri and Limni Keriou in the remoter southwest. White beaches, sea turtles and a party atmosphere make Zante – or Zakynthos as the island is known in Greek – a favorite holiday destination in the magical Ionian Sea.
Visit and explore the amazing Navagio, Gerakas Beach, Marathon, Xigia Sulfur Beach, Laganas Beach, Porto Limnionas Beach, National Marine Park of Zakynthos, and so much more.

<b>Greece</b> is THE land of ancient sites and architectural treasures: the Acropolis in Athens, the amphitheater of Epidaurus, the reconstructed palace at Knossos, the belly button of the cosmos at Delphi, fallen columns galore on the sacred island of Delos, and frescoed Minoan palaces on Crete. But don't expect a visit there to be a sober study of the ancient world, the Greek propensity for partying dates back to Dionysus. Then there are 1400 islands to explore. Greece is much more than what you were taught at school or the predictable summer image of glorious sunsets and sandy beaches.
