Rich with orange and olive groves, this picturesque Greek isle is a favorite of the international jet set. In ancient times, Corfu's fleet provided Odysseus with an escort on the final leg of his journey home to Ithaca. The island precipitated the Peloponnesian War, and has been coveted by maritime powers ever since. The Old Town is filled with colorful shops and lovely arcades.

White, cubist-shaped houses perch atop ochre cliffs; black sand beaches wind along the blue Aegean - Santorini is the jewel of the Cyclades. Take a donkey ride up a step stone trail to panoramic Thira, and enjoy a stroll through the narrow streets of this picturesque town.

Wearing little more than designer sunglasses, beautiful bodies bask on the gilded beaches here. Just as typical are the brilliant blue-domed roofs on whitewashed churches, and windmills that slowly paddle in the breeze. Come get lost in a labyrinth of streets designed to foil pillaging pirates in times of yore.

Crete, the largest of all the Greek islands, is the bridge between Asia, Africa & Europe continents. Iraklion (Heraklion) is the capital of the island and with a population of 100,000 people also the biggest. Here you can visit several ancient Minoan sites, including the renowned Palace of Knossos, home of the fabled Minotaur, whose first structure was built around 2000 BC.

Whatever you do, don’t miss the fantastic views of the Adriatic Sea and the city from Dubrovnik’s huge ramparts. You’ll get a bird’s eye view of the glistening marble streets, the Gothic and Renaissance palaces, splashing fountains and colourful parasols shading pavement cafés packed into narrow alleys and cloistered squares.

The port of Piraeus is just six miles from the heart of Athens and that wonderful symbol of the ancient world, the 2,500-years-old Parthenon, high atop the Acropolis. Take in the view, visit the old Roman marketplace – the Agora, and stop for an ouzo in one of the traditional tavernas in the Plaka district, where you might be tempted to a little shopping, too.

Although Turkey’s third largest city can trace its story back to 3,000 BC, today it’s a busy, modern metropolis. But history isn’t far away, so head south to Ephesus, one of the greatest archaeological sites in the world, to see grand buildings, like the amphitheatre, the stunning Library of Celsus and more prosaic establishments, including the public latrines and brothel.

This is the kind of Greek seaside town you always hope you would discover with historic sights alongside tempting shops and tavernas. Must-sees are the huge Venetian fortress built high on a rocky acropolis and the carefully preserved Venetian buildings around Syntagma Square in the old town, which for a brief period was Greece’s capital.
