Athens, Europe’s oldest capital city, is the perfect staging point for exploration of the Eastern Mediterranean. The city itself is a melting pot of culture dominated by the hilltop magnificence of the Acropolis. Taking time to explore this multi-faceted and thriving metropolis is an oft-overlooked experience that will richly reward the inspired traveller. It is also a wonderful gateway to begin or end a luxury cruise of the Eastern Mediterranean or as a twocentre break with a Greek island extension. Both options are reflected in our featured recommendations for both luxury cruising and an indulgent Corfu island escape.
