The vibrant capital of Greece unfolds at the base of the stunning Acropolis. We'll explore the highlights of ancient Athens, including the Parthenon, the Agora, and the incredible National Archaeological Museum. While we absorb the lively energy of the contemporary city, we won't miss Rick's top side trips: the enchanting ruins of the oracle at Delphi and a quick boat ride to the idyllic, car-free island of Hydra.
