Athens, Greece | CruiseOne
This is the oldest city in Europe and one of the most compelling places in the world to explore.
Cruise to Athens and you’ll discover a bustling metropolis that blends vibrant street life with iconic ancient attractions. Many of the top sights are located in the historic center of the city, which serves as a massive archaeological park.
Be sure to budget plenty of time to explore the Parthenon and the Acropolis, which lure more than 7 million travelers every year. And if you want to avoid the crowds – and the heat—arrive at these immensely popular sites as early as possible.
Tour the crumbling remains of the massive Theatre of Dionysus and then explore the Ancient Agora of Athens. And if you’d like to take a break from venturing into the past, there are also plenty of other attractions in the city.
Mingle with Athenians while shopping at the Monastiraki market, where vendors sell everything from jewelry to original artwork. If you prefer more upscale retail, head to the neighbourhood of Kolonaki instead.
With its remarkable blend of ancient and modern attractions, an Athens shore excursion is unlike any other experience. This video provides even more details.

Inside the Peloponnese - Greece HD Travel Channel
Our journey leads us into the inside of the Peloponnese. Along the coast of the Gulf of Corinth, we head west to Trapeza. From here we take a turn to the south along the monastery Megaspiläon that stucks like a bird nest on a rock wall. In the small town of Rogo we visit the memorial for the victims of the Nazi terror regime. Here, the entire male population of the village was massacred here in the World War II.
After a drive through valleys and high mountain passes and a short visit to the Cave of the Lakes (Spileo ton Limnon) at Kastria, we reach the historic city of Mantinea. The city was often in conflict with Sparta, was destroyed and rebuilt with the help of Thebes and later destroyed again by Slavs . Here is one of the most unusual churches in Greece. During the construction of the church one tried to combine all architectural styles.
Before we leave the highland, we enjoy a marvellous view to the gulf of Argos.

Unsere Reise führt uns ins Innere des Peloponnes. Entlang der Küste des Golfs von Korinth fahren wir Richtung Westen bis Trapeza. Hier biegen wir nach Süden ab, passieren das Kloster Megaspiläon -Μεγα Σπήλαιον , das wie ein Vogelnest an eine Felswand geklebt wurde.
In dem kleinen Ort Rogo besuchen wir das Mahnmal für die Opfer des NS Terrorregimes, das im 2. Weltkrieg die gesamte männliche Bevölkerung des Ortes dahin metzelte.
Nach einer Fahrt durch Hochtäler und Hochgebirgspässe und einem kurzen Besuch der Höhle der Seen (Spileo ton Limnon) bei Kastria, erreichen wir das historische Stadtgebiet von Mantineia -Μαντίνεια. Die Stadt lag mit Sparta oft im Konflikt, wurde zerstört und mit Hilfe von Theben wieder aufgebaut um später wieder von Slawen zerstört zu werden. Hier befindet sich eine der eigentümlichsten Kirchen Griechenlands. Beim Bau der Kirche versuchte man sämtliche architektonischen Stilrichtungen zu vereinen.
Bevor wir das Hochland verlassen, öffnet sich uns ein herrlicher Blick auf den Golf von Argos.
