The first stop on your tour is the ancient city of Athens, the timeless capital of Greece, where the Parthenon rises serenely above the city on the Acropolis, surrounded by other relics of Athens' Golden Age.... Part II takes you to more than 2,000 sun-baked islands that dot the sparkling Aegean and Ionian seas, favorites of tourists and natives alike.
