Embark your ship and settle into your stateroom. Athens has been called the "birthplace of democracy". Its legacy looms large from atop Acropolis Hill, the pinnacle of ancient Greece. This open-air museum is an astonishing repository of once-mighty structures. From its colonnaded Parthenon-more than 2,600 years ago-revered Greek philosophers like Plato and Aristotle formulated new ideas of government and debated its role in civic life to captivated audiences. Remnants of spiritual life are also here in the several temples to Athena and Zeus. ... Read More

It strikes a picture-perfect pose, with its centuries-old windmills perched on seaside ridges and labyrinthine streets of whitewashed houses with sky-blue doors. Some 400 churches dot the island's stunning landscapes, with the whitewashed Panagia Paraportiani, or Church of Our Lady, among the most impressive. The narrow lanes of Chora, the main town, are pure pleasure to explore. Rows of fishing houses with balconies are perched directly on the water and the famous thatched-roof windmills overlook the harbor. ... Read More
Rhodes is home to the Palace of the Grand Master, a remarkable and sprawling fortification. Its historic quarter is Europe's largest active medieval town.

The Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem conquered the island in the 14th century, bringing great wealth from the Holy Land. Under their rule, the city was reconstructed to mirror the medieval ideal. Many of the buildings from this era remain and make for rewarding strolls. ... Read More

Crete was home to the Minoans, Europe's earliest recorded civilization. Its capital, Heraklion, grew from the riches of the Venetian Empire, which ruled here for four centuries. Crete enjoyed a Renaissance building boom that helped bolster Heraklion as the region's most strongly fortified city. The island is blessed with generous beaches, soaring mountains, and coursing rivers. It is also where the distinct mantinades-couplets of love accompanied by Cretan instruments-could break out at any number of cafes where patrons sip tsikoudia, a grape-based brandy distilled in the hills. ...
