Blue ocean, white cityscapes, and countless ancient ruins. Greece is the perfect destination for enjoying both history and resorts! On this nine-day trip, we visited the capital, Athens, touring the World Heritage Sites Parthenon and Ancient Agora, and on Santorini, we spent a soothing time admiring the cliffside white town, sunsets, and street cats. Greece's charm, perfect for couples, is its ability to combine romance and adventure.
