Journeys Through Greece
From sun-drenched islands to timeless ruins, Greece unfolded as a place where history and beauty meet at every turn. I wandered marble paths once walked by ancient philosophers, stood among the columns of legendary temples, and gazed out from hilltops where sea and sky blur together. Each port offered its own rhythm, whether lively streets, archaeological wonders, the rugged landscapes of Crete, or quiet seaside moments, woven together into a journey that felt both deeply rooted in the past and alive in the present. Scroll through the ports below to explore the many sides of Greece I was fortunate to experience.
Athens
Athens blends ancient history with vibrant culture, from walking among the Acropolis ruins to exploring lively neighborhoods. My visits also included cultural shows, traditional food, and sweeping views from temples by the sea.
Crete
Crete offered a mix of modern cities and historic charm, from Chania’s colorful Venetian port to the panoramic views at Venizelos Graves. Between Souda, Heraklion, and Chania, each visit revealed both the island’s layered history and its lively everyday spirit.
Mykonos
Mykonos offers winding alleys, iconic windmills, and seaside dining that capture the charm of the Cyclades. A short boat ride away, the island of Delos reveals ancient ruins and myths that bring Greek history to life.
Olympia
Olympia in Greece is the birthplace of the Olympic Games, where ancient temples and stadium ruins still stand as a testament to history. Walking through the site and museum offers a glimpse into the grandeur of Greek culture and the origins of athletic tradition.
Santorini
Santorini offers unforgettable views from its cliffside villages, ancient ruins at Akrotiri, and the lively streets of Oia. My visits included rooftop lunches, gondola rides, and even a daring descent down the Karavolades Stairs to catch the last tender back to the ship.
