A short history of the Parthenon “the harmony between material and spirit”, the monument that “puts an order in the mind”

Cruise Destinations For Whole Family Fun
76% of cruise-going families agree that cruise vacations are better and more enjoyable than traditional land-based vacations in a study reported by the FCCA. Cruises are the perfect and safe getaway vacations for families of all types. From tropical destinations, to the storied landscapes of the Pacific, to the enchanting history of the Mediterranean, cruise style vacations offer multi-country and city destinations on the vast open sea – something that a land-based location can’t compete with.
Set Standards Before Sailing On The Seas
Before embarking on these grand adventures, however, it’s important to set guidelines as a family to ensure a safe and fun family vacation. Sit down with your kids and discuss a set of ground rules – what freedoms they’re allowed – before sailing off to your destination. While it’s important to set guidelines as a family, many cruise lines are making it easier for parents by going hi-tech with passenger bracelets that not only can track purchases, but can also act as a location tracker for those you’re traveling with.
Make Your Way To The Mediterranean
One of the most coveted and grand landscapes to cruise away to is the colorful Mediterranean coast. Both parents and kids will be mesmerized by the kaleidoscope of colors of Italy’s southern coast or the cool blue oasis of a Greek village. While porting at these countries, enjoy learning the history of Greek and Roman soldiers, take a ride on a gondola in Venice, or stop at the Agora Market. This destination not only is magical in its appearance, but offers an educational experience for the children.
Wherever you decide on as a perfect destination for your family, discuss not only guidelines before your trip, but also what type of experience you yearn for. Tropical? Glacial getaway? Mediterranean? Fortunately, there’s no wrong way to go.

I’ve been telling friends and family about my wonderful trip to Greece. I feel that we have seen what is the best Greece has to offer. The sites , the food and the Greeks. Apostolos did a wonderful job with the itinerary and went beyond to show us some hidden treasures, to places most tourists never see and only a true native would know about.
Many thanks for making it so very special and memorable.
Best wishes,
Juliana
Dear All
Regarding our private Classical Greece Tour, we just wanted to say again how much we enjoyed the trip. We loved all of the ancient sites and the beautiful places that we visited. It was such a pleasure to travel with you and we know that we did things and ate in places that we would never have been able to do if we had travelled alone.
The hotels were all excellent and we will never forget the view from our hotel in Athens. It was a lovely relaxing holiday even though we did such a lot.
The last evening in the restaurant on the beach was magical.
Thank you again
Best Wishes
