Athens, Serifos & Sifnos
Description
Athens & Alternative Cyclades
Discover Athens, a historic cradle of western civilization and an open air museum. Wander between ancient creations, temples, statues, theaters that share the landscape with contemporary buildings and museums. Stroll among the streets of this modern metropolis and discover shops, cozy bars, exquisite taverns and restaurants.
Next stop, the islands. Think Greek islands and no doubt the whitewashed buildings and blue-domed churches of Santorini, breathtaking beaches and glamorous nightlife of Mykonos spring to mind, but if you are looking for untouched beauty and some peace and quiet for your next holiday in Greece, their smaller, lesser known neighbors provide an equally tempting slice of paradise. You have probably never heard of these islands before but if looking for tranquility, traditional villages, Cycladic architecture and gastronomic paradise, you are in the right page!
