Athens
The heart of the Greek capital will bring you back in time to the 5th century BC although the rest of the city is distinctly 21st-century, which means you can enjoy the perfect mix of ancient and modern here. Discover landmarks most people only see on screen or in a history book, including the crown jewel of Acropolis hill, the Parthenon. No matter where you are in this city, it’s probably looming above, viewed from countless rooftop bars and restaurants to add to your dining pleasure. Of course, the food is a special treat, enjoyed everywhere from sidewalk cafes to markets and fine dining restaurants.
