Ancient Athens to Modern Dubai Cruise
2nts Athens, 4nts Dubai & 14nts Europe cruise & stay with Virgin Voyages
Athens, Greece
The capital of Greece is dominated by the pillars of the past in the shape of the Acropolis and Parthenon. While unmovable reminders of ancient history capture the imagination of tourists every year, there’s a modern Athens too with a nightlife that never wants to stop, fashion boutiques and so many delicious dishes you’ve probably never tried before.
If you want to climb a little to escape the heat on a warm day, a cable car ride up Mount Lycabettus fits the bill perfectly and will reward you with sensational views from the top, over 300 metres above sea level.
