Once the stuff of mythology, archaeological excavations at Troy have brought life to Homer’s Iliad and the tale of the beautiful Helen, fought over by warriors like Hercules and won by means of the Trojan horse.
DAY 6 - Kavala, Greece
Clinging to the foothills of Mt. Symvolo, the city of Kavala (“the heart of Eastern Macedonia”) rises like an amphitheater out of the sea, with historical monuments and buildings almost too plentiful to list.
DAY 7 - Thessaloniki, Greece
As Greece’s second-biggest city and the Byzantine Empire’s second-most important city, the word “second” is often used to describe this port, but we’re here to tell you: Thessaloniki is anything but second-rate!

Dating back to the Neolithic age and famed as the mythical “City of the Argonauts”, Volos is a modern city in the heart of Greece, and is a place of immense natural beauty and numerous archaeological sites.
DAY 9 - Cesme, Turkey
The resort town of Cesme is not only a popular destination for Turkish and tourists alike, but also for surfers—perhaps because of the golden-sand beaches, warm sapphire waters, and laid-back atmosphere.

Each Greek Isle offers its own bit of wonder, but Amorgos? It’s especially captivating. Discover its ancient sites, picture-perfect towns, and secluded beaches.
DAY 11 - Rhodes, Greece
Said to have more fine days than anywhere else in Europe, Rhodes’ diverse historical influences are evident in an old town remarkably intact—in particular the medieval presence of the Knights of St John.

Your daydream of a Greek island meets reality in Santorini—so beautiful with its whitewashed villages and blue roofs reflecting the sea, you can almost believe the myths claiming it as the birthplace of gods.
DAY 13 - Aegina, Greece
