Sail away with us to the Greek Islands

If you'd like to get away and see some of the most beautiful sites on Earth, there's no better place to visit than the Aegean Sea. Known for its shimmering blue water and dramatic shorelines, the Aegean is home to the beautiful islands of Greece. This stretch of land includes some of Europe’s most popular beaches, which regularly attract tourists from all over the globe.

Lovers of history, archaeology, and mythology can all find inspiration in Greece; its vibrant culture and welcoming population have made it a beloved destination for millenia. In fact, nearly 3,000 years ago, it's where Plato delivered the welcoming address to people gathering to watch the very first Olympic games at the Temple of Zeus in Olympia. The podium from which he spoke still exists, as do the ancient ruins of the original Olympic village. On any ordinary day, you can encounter a wide array of archaeological treasures herefrom the famous Acropolis in Athens to the isolated cliff-top monasteries of Meteora.

The Greek peninsula and its surrounding islands are covered with lush greenery, including olive and cypress trees, and its dramatic coasts offer incredible views with stunning sunsets. Whether you're traveling with family or exploring on your own, there are endless ways to tailor your trip and immerse yourself in this wonderful country's many flavors and traditions.
