Greece ~ Athens & Kalamata

Greece ~ Athens & Kalamata

Join our eight-night adventure in Athens and the Peloponnese, a land shaped by Greece’s famous myths and city-states. Imagine ancient urban life as you amble through the ruins of great cities. Visit the Bronze Age kingdom of Mycenae and less explored Messene. Soak up the ambiance of Mystras, a stunning Byzantine city, and tour ancient Olympia, birthplace of the modern Olympics. Learn how olives and their rich, green oil seep into every aspect of Greek life. Experience the timeless traditions of winemaking (and tasting!) and folk dancing. In the evenings, stroll along sidewalks adorned with magenta bougainvillea blossoms, savor an alfresco meal, and capture memories of a lifetime.
