Where You Stop
Mykonos
Athens (Piraeus)
Europe
The Greek Isles
Whitewashed villages spilling down volcanic cliffs, harbors the color of a swimming pool, and ruins you walk through rather than past; the Aegean is small enough that a week reaches a genuine cross-section of it.

- May, June, September and October; July and August are hot and crowded
- Typical Length
- 7 to 10 nights
