Athens, Greece

Come check out one of the world's ancient wonders - The Parthenon (c. 438 BC)

This is it. Ground zero for western civilization.  Most of our words, philosophies and ways of governing ourselves are rooted from what was developped here 2500 years ago.  Prepare to be fascinated as we get a chance to explore some of the world's great wonders like the Acropolis, the Parthenon, Dionysus Theater as well just walk the streets in the surrounding area where you can sit and eat your souvlaki amongst the ruins of a 2500 year old town. 

This will be the starting point of our adventure.  We'll give ourselves a day to overdose on ruins before we head to Ios and get our beach on!
