Day 1
Athens , Greece
Tuesday, 19/09/2028
With 3,000 years of history, you can't turn around in Athens without encountering the past. The Acropolis, a UNESCO site, the Plaka, and the Acropolis Museum are must-sees. But leave time if you can to climb Pnyx Hill for photos of the Parthenon at sunset, to buy your own set of Greek komboloi (worry beads), and to explore the metro stations that serve as mini-museums for the relics that are constantly being unearthed.
Day 2
Kusadasi , Turkey
Wednesday, 20/09/2028
Few places offer such a rich combination of history and scenic beauty. In Ephesus, one of the greatest outdoor museums in the world, you'll explore legendary sites steeped in history. Also visit the houses of Bulbul Mountain, where the roof of one forms the terrace of the next. This evening we present our Destination Discovery Event -- dinner in the moonlight and a concert near the Celsus Library or on Harbour Street in ancient Ephesus.
Day 4
Kavala , Greece
Friday, 22/09/2028
Kavala, a vibrant port city in northern Greece, is known for its rich history and stunning coastal scenery.

The historic old town, with its narrow streets and traditional houses, reflects Kavala's Ottoman and Byzantine heritage.
