Athens is like a parfait of the ancient world, comprising layer upon layer of history, mythology, and philosophy. Dive headfirst into Greek antiquity with a visit to the iconic Acropolis. Stop by the Agora, the city’s ancient social and political heart and the site where St. Paul came to win converts to Christianity in 49 AD. After two nights in this mesmerizing capital, you’re off for some island life! On your four-night Aegean cruise, you’ll enjoy spectacular views and explore such wondrous sites as the Temple of Artemis in Kusadasi, the island of Patmos (where the Book of Revelation was written), and the ruggedly picturesque Santorini. You’ll be in Athens for one final night of cocktails or hand-pressed tea at a sidewalk café before heading back home a more worldly, happy person.
