Named for the Greek word meaning \u201chigh city\u201d, the Acropolis was built upon a rock at a staggering 156 metres above sea level. Truly the symbol of Athens, the Acropolis represents Greek intelligence and art, which emerged in the 5th century BC. Our contemporary values of democracy, freedom of expression, and philosophy were all born at this great site and still impact the world today.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When you view <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/trip-gallery\/8-day-exploration-of-athens-santorini-and-naxos-1792068266\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Acropolis<\/a>, you\u2019re standing before the most complete and preserved monument from ancient Greece. The weight of the moment won\u2019t be lost on you, and it\u2019s a feeling that\u2019s been shared for thousands of years. You\u2019ll see the Parthenon during your visit to the Acropolis, as well as the Temple of Athena Nike. For a deeper look and understanding of the Acropolis, be sure to visit the Acropolis Museum. There, you\u2019ll find artefacts found at the site dating back through all the ages of ancient Greece.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>An extremely popular tourist destination, you can tour the grounds year-round, and crowd levels will depend on the season. The peak season, during summer, will be the busiest, while the shoulder seasons and winter provide a quieter visit. You can explore the Acropolis with or without a guide, and we recommend you set aside two to three hours to ensure you get the full experience of this ancient Athenian landmark.

This uninhabited island, which you can only visit (no overnight stays are permitted), features ancient temples, an amphitheatre, and ruins of markets and homes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The easiest way to visit Delos is by taking a ferry from Mykonos, one of the most popular islands for the summer holidays. Dotted with stunning vistas and beaches, the Greek islands are blissful retreats, but they\u2019re also home to some of Greece\u2019s best archaeological finds. Near Mykonos, on the famous island of Santorini, uncover\u00a0 Akrotiri, a 6500-year-old Bronze Age settlement that was later covered by a volcanic eruption 2000 years ago.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>More ancient wonders lie in wait on Rhodes, the largest of the Dodecanese islands. Here, you\u2019ll discover the UNESCO World Heritage site, Rhodes Old Town. Medieval architecture and roads still make their home on this exciting island, including the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes. As grand and imposing as its name is long, the palace is a surprising find during a summer holiday celebrating the sand and sea.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Delve into Myth at Delphi<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-image-5867 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dichatz-8OjTCSjlQic-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"greece in summer\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25113451\/dichatz-8OjTCSjlQic-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25113451\/dichatz-8OjTCSjlQic-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25113451\/dichatz-8OjTCSjlQic-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25113451\/dichatz-8OjTCSjlQic-unsplash-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25113451\/dichatz-8OjTCSjlQic-unsplash-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25113451\/dichatz-8OjTCSjlQic-unsplash-1170x781.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25113451\/dichatz-8OjTCSjlQic-unsplash-585x390.jpg 585w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-image-5867\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dichatz-8OjTCSjlQic-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"greece in summer\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25113451\/dichatz-8OjTCSjlQic-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25113451\/dichatz-8OjTCSjlQic-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25113451\/dichatz-8OjTCSjlQic-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25113451\/dichatz-8OjTCSjlQic-unsplash-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25113451\/dichatz-8OjTCSjlQic-unsplash-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25113451\/dichatz-8OjTCSjlQic-unsplash-1170x781.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25113451\/dichatz-8OjTCSjlQic-unsplash-585x390.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In central Greece, you\u2019ll find the ancient remains of Delphi. Once considered the centre of the world by the ancient Greeks, this mystical site is rooted in legend. Said to be where Apollo once slews a great dragon, Delphi was home to Pythia, the oracle of Delphi. You\u2019ll spend hours exploring this UNESCO World Heritage site, learning about the myths and history at the museum on the premises. Once the most important religious site in ancient Greece, the allure and beauty of Delphi have not diminished in the thousands of years since its inception. It\u2019s a highlight of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/trip-gallery\/15-day-greece-vacation-1792010446\">15-Day Ancient and Classical Greece with Mykonos &amp; Santorini<\/a> trip, coupled with relaxing island time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>These tremendous historic sites are only a taste of what Greece has to offer.

Home to 6000islands across the Mediterranean, only 227 of the Greek Islands are inhabited. Each island offers something unique to discover, but the bright blue water and stunning vistas are features they all share.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While still a daunting number of possible holiday destinations, we\u2019ll make it easy for you to navigate and decide which Greek islands to discover first. The Greek islands are grouped together in chains which are geographically based. Among the most popular of these groupings are the Ionian islands, Cyclades islands and Dodecanese islands. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/trip-gallery\/13-day-ultimate-greek-island-hopping-tour-1792013811\">13-Day Ultimate Greek Island-Hopping Tour<\/a> is a great way to explore the various island groups, including the standalone island, Crete.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cyclades Islands<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-image-5869 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/david-tip-KeTZcPnlIjE-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"greece in summer\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114029\/david-tip-KeTZcPnlIjE-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114029\/david-tip-KeTZcPnlIjE-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114029\/david-tip-KeTZcPnlIjE-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114029\/david-tip-KeTZcPnlIjE-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114029\/david-tip-KeTZcPnlIjE-unsplash-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114029\/david-tip-KeTZcPnlIjE-unsplash-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114029\/david-tip-KeTZcPnlIjE-unsplash-585x390.jpg 585w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-image-5869\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/david-tip-KeTZcPnlIjE-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"greece in summer\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114029\/david-tip-KeTZcPnlIjE-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114029\/david-tip-KeTZcPnlIjE-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114029\/david-tip-KeTZcPnlIjE-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114029\/david-tip-KeTZcPnlIjE-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114029\/david-tip-KeTZcPnlIjE-unsplash-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114029\/david-tip-KeTZcPnlIjE-unsplash-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114029\/david-tip-KeTZcPnlIjE-unsplash-585x390.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If white-washed buildings with blue doors and roofs spring to mind when you picture the Greek islands, you\u2019re likely thinking of the Cyclades island chain. This is where you\u2019ll find the world-famous islands Santorini and Mykonos, perhaps the two most popular of all the Greek islands. Santorini and Mykonos come fully to life during the summer months, with Santorini known for its sunsets, impeccable accommodations, and fine dining.

The two most popular of these twelve islands are Rhodes and Kos. An exciting draw to these islands is the blend of history and influence from various cultures that they experienced over a few thousand years. The Ancient Greeks settled there, of course, but perhaps more surprising is their occupation by Romans, Venetians, medieval knights, and later on, the Ottoman Empire. This mix of formidable cultures has left the Dodecanese islands with unique architectural elements, many of which are medieval in design. To capture all that Rhodes has to offer, try our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/trip-gallery\/7-day-majestic-rhodes-luxury-and-discovery-1792028870\">7-Day Majestic Rhodes Luxury and Discovery<\/a> trip.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Once you\u2019ve explored their ancient sites and relics, be sure to indulge in all of the natural amenities of the islands. Sandy white beaches, blue Aegean waters, and paths perfect for hiking and cycling all await you when you make your way to the Dodecanese island chain. Home to 12 habitable islands, you\u2019ll also find quieter and more remote-style holidays on less visited islands like Karpathos, Astypalea, and Patmos.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ionian Islands<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"wp-image-5871 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/yong-eui-choi-RVDsREAQgsI-unsplash-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"zakynthos\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114204\/yong-eui-choi-RVDsREAQgsI-unsplash-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114204\/yong-eui-choi-RVDsREAQgsI-unsplash-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114204\/yong-eui-choi-RVDsREAQgsI-unsplash-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114204\/yong-eui-choi-RVDsREAQgsI-unsplash-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114204\/yong-eui-choi-RVDsREAQgsI-unsplash-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114204\/yong-eui-choi-RVDsREAQgsI-unsplash-1170x878.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114204\/yong-eui-choi-RVDsREAQgsI-unsplash-585x439.jpg 585w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/768;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"wp-image-5871\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/yong-eui-choi-RVDsREAQgsI-unsplash-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"zakynthos\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114204\/yong-eui-choi-RVDsREAQgsI-unsplash-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114204\/yong-eui-choi-RVDsREAQgsI-unsplash-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114204\/yong-eui-choi-RVDsREAQgsI-unsplash-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114204\/yong-eui-choi-RVDsREAQgsI-unsplash-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114204\/yong-eui-choi-RVDsREAQgsI-unsplash-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114204\/yong-eui-choi-RVDsREAQgsI-unsplash-1170x878.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25114204\/yong-eui-choi-RVDsREAQgsI-unsplash-585x439.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To the west of mainland Greece, you\u2019ll find the wonderfully lush Ionian islands. The closest island chain to Italy, you\u2019ll see the Venetian influence left over from when they occupied this set of islands. What was once the battlefield for ancient wars between the Romans and the Greeks, the Ionian Sea and its islands are now popular holiday destinations filled with serenity and incredible nature.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It\u2019s here you\u2019ll discover Corfu. From seaside villages to luxurious resorts, Corfu is an eclectic mix that exists in perfect harmony. This island offers an abundance of activities, including exploring ancient Corfu Town. You\u2019ll stroll through cobblestone streets and take in sights like noble mansions, museums, old town squares, palaces, and the famous 17th-century Vlacherna Monastery. Once you\u2019ve had your fill of sightseeing, make your way to any of Corfu\u2019s surrounding beaches. Many are surrounded by mountains and forests, providing a striking contrast to the bright blue of the Ionian Sea. On our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/trip-gallery\/11-day-ionian-and-aegean-highlights-1792011098\">11-Day Ionian and Aegean Highlights<\/a> trip, you\u2019ll enjoy days spent seeing all that Corfu has to offer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If beaches are what you\u2019re truly after, visiting <a href=\"https:\/\/wherelifeisgreat.com\/things-to-do-in-zante\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Zakynthos<\/a> and Kefalonia is an absolute must. Often described as exotic, Zakynthos is famed for its turquoise waters and white cliffs. When travelling in summer, you may even be lucky enough to witness the island\u2019s endangered turtles laying their eggs or watching the babies hatch. It\u2019s a nature lover&#8217;s paradise, and the same can be said for nearby Kefalonia. Less visited than Zakynthos but equally worthwhile, the island of Kefalonia offers the same turquoise seas and wild nature.

Celebrated as one of the finest cuisines in the world, you can\u2019t fully experience Greek culture without indulging in the many delicacies across the region. From family-run, generational tavernas found in alleyways and town plazas to Michelin-starred restaurants and fine dining, Greek gastronomy is for everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Utilising local and high-quality ingredients in every dish, Greek cuisine is the taste of summer. Eating becomes an experience in itself when in Greece and gives you the opportunity to connect with the people, the land, and the history of this ancient destination. From fresh herbs like oregano, thyme, rosemary, and mint, to full-bodied wines and olive oils used to coat freshly caught shrimp, fish, and octopus, Greek cuisine embodies a meal that is infused with rustic flavours and time-honoured tradition.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1509035681059{background-color: #f2f2f2 !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1509350069266{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;post-cta&#8221;]<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Don&#8217;t Miss Our Exclusive Offers!

I\u2019m Sarah, a Canadian writer, creator, podcast director, and lover of all things travel. Though currently based in Ontario, Canada, I\u2019m a big lover of writing from tropical, beachy locales and backpacking whenever I can. I think meeting new people is the best part of travelling, and I\u2019m always on the lookout for those that enjoy a good game of cards - you\u2019ll never find me without my deck! I\u2019ve always got to have music on, and dancing while I write is what I\u2019m all about.
