ATHENS

The magic city of Athens is the capital of Greece and the largest city in the country. The city, which was the cradle of Ancient Hellenic and Greek Culture, containing magnificent artifacts worshiped by ancient Greek gods and people, was the economic, political, social life and philosophy center of the period. Taking its name from Athena, one of the most important goddesses of mythology, Athens is known as the city where democracy was first established. The most important prehistoric civilizations flourished in Athens and have produced the most successful architectural masterpieces of human history that have survived to this day.

SANTORINI

SANTORINI, the southernmost island of the Cyclades island group in the south of the Aegean Sea, is approximately 46km2. In 1500 BC, the island and its surrounding small islands were formed by a large volcanic eruption. Located on a cliff on a hill 300 m above sea level, Thira (Fira) is the capital of the island. The city was completely destroyed as a result of a great earthquake in 1956 and most of it has been rebuilt until today. The most characteristic work of the city is its blue-domed churches. Wine, fruit, olive oil and tobacco are the main agricultural products grown in the Cyclades island group. Very high quality wines are produced from grapes grown on volcanic soil. Thira is located on the cliffs with perhaps the most beautifully decorated bars, restaurants, accommodation areas and unbelievably romantic sea views in the world. The volcanic beaches stretching along the north-south strip make the island even more attractive.

MYKONOS

This cute little island is the most famous of all the islands for its beaches, active nightlife and shining sun. It was built with narrow streets resembling a labyrinth to protect from pirate raids and wind. A dazzling mess – narrow streets pass between cube-shaped whitewashed houses in the area up to the old town of Kastro. The public museum, which forms part of the Venetian fortress wall, is in the city of Kastro. The lower corner of the sea is called “Little Venice”. (known as Alefkandra) The balconies of the houses protrude above the sea. You can watch the panoramic view of Little Venice from the windmills and you can also see the Pelican Petros, the mascot of the island for 50 years.

PATMOS

Shortly before sunset is the best time to wander the narrow streets of Hora, which, along with the Monastery of St. John and the Cave of the Resurrection, have been designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Hora, built just below and around the walled monastery, also resembles a castle. Wander through the labyrinth of alleyways filled with toppling bougainvillea, marvel at the dazzling whitewashed houses and mansions, many dating from the 16th century, and note their flat roofs. These were built in this way to form an “overhead” transport and communications network so that sensitive areas of the city could be quickly reinforced. Square houses with thick stone walls were built close together, especially along the outer perimeter, to form a defensive wall against pirates. Moreover, their appearance was more or less the same; The homes of the rich and the poor were indistinguishable from each other, meaning the former could not be easily targeted. Patmos attracts and inspires many artists who create magnificent works. Check out the galleries in Hora: Kapopoulos Fine Arts (Main Square), Andreas Kalatzis Gallery and Koukoumavla; the latter offers a wide range of particularly tasteful handmade products.

RHODES

The city of Rhodes is considered a 2400-year-old settlement. The city was first founded in 408 BC.
