This special Greek Islands Tour is specifically designed to meet the needs and fulfill the desires of family travelers and for an adventure-packed two weeks, you can enjoy the sights and sounds of this magical destination of mythological proportion with those closest to you. The ever-exciting capital, Athens, is the first city on our to-see list and it serves as the perfect introduction to the past and present faces of Greece. Our Greece tour has us visiting the Acropolis and its crowning glory, the Parthenon, as well as the National Archaeological Museum, which is brimming with relics and items of antiquity spanning from over 7,000 years; then, we immerse ourselves in the vibrant atmosphere of this bustling metropolis that underwent major cleaning and renovation efforts in preparation for the 2004 Olympics and which today stands in better condition than ever. Sailing to the island of Mykonos, we investigate the labyrinthine streets that were designed to confuse plundering pirates of the 18th and 19th centuries and navigate our way to Delos, simply a 'must' for any archeology enthusiast. In Santorini, we admire unique geological formations in what is perhaps the most aesthetically pleasing of the Grecian Isles and our trip to Iraklion yields the chance to tour Knossos, the largest Bronze Age archaeological site on Crete and what was quite probably the political and cultural center of Minoan civilization.
