Overview
Opa to 9 days of ancient wonders, island views and full-throttle Greek goodness. Start in Athens before heading to Nafplio, Mycenae and Delphi, where myths, ruins and big-name legends do plenty of showing off. In Kalambaka, look up, way up, to see Meteora’s monasteries perched high on towering rocks. Then hit the Aegean with a cruise to Mykonos, the incredible ruins of Ephesus and peaceful Patmos before Santorini brings the cliffside views. A little history, a little sunshine and a whole lot of Greece.
