day 1

ATHENS

Good morning! Welcome to Greece, to Athens! We are in the birthplace of Western civilization, Athens has an extraordinary range of historical sites to explore; an ancient history that spills over into the modern city, most dramatically represented by the ancient Acropolis. There is much to see in the ancient capital of Greece, vibrant and refreshed after the 2004 Olympics, but still retaining so much history. After the welcome meeting at 6:00 PM, free time is available and overnight stay at the hotel.

There are no meals included on this day.

The day begins with a visit to the Acropolis of Athens, one of the most important historical testimonies of the Western world: a photo stop in front of the Parthenon, the largest Doric temple in the world, is a must. In the afternoon, we board a train that takes us to Thessaloniki, the second-largest city in Greece known for its vibrant nightlife.
