DAY 1: ARRIVE ATHENS, GREECE
Ancient cities. Lively ports. Countless islands. Greece is a country that is easy to fall in love with. Its Mediterranean location means it's loved by sun seekers.

Athens' Acropolis wows, while Marathon and Knossos are both worthy of a visit. But there's more than just history and lounging by the pool. Thessaloniki thrums with youthful energy, while recent political upheaval means the capital has an undeniable creative buzz unmatched anywhere else in Southern Europe.
