The Greek islands with Nemanja Radulovic and friends

Athens, the capital of Greece, is located on the eastern side of the country along the Saronic Gulf. Its name reflects the early villages that developed around the Acropolis. This rocky hill is home to several monuments recognized as UNESCO World Heritage sites. In the city below, neighborhoods like Plaka feature narrow streets and local restaurants. The National Archaeological Museum and the Museum of Cycladic Art offer insights into the city’s historical and cultural heritage.

Skiathos is a small island in the Aegean Sea, known for its beaches and as a filming location for the movie Mamma Mia!. The main town, also called Skiathos, features white houses, narrow streets, and local restaurants. Visitors can explore the former home of writer Alexandros Papadiamantis, now a museum, and the Monastery of the Annunciation (Evangelistria Monastery), which contains post-Byzantine wall paintings. The island also has hiking trails that pass through coves and wooded areas.

Volos, one of the biggest port cities in Greece, is located at the foot of Mount Pelion. According to mythology, Mount Pelion was a place of celebration for gods and heroes, and the home of the centaurs. The beauty of the place and the magical atmosphere that reigns here can indeed only have been inspired by the gods: the clear water that flows from a multitude of sources bathes the plane trees, apple trees, oaks, beech trees, gardenias, camellias, and hydrangeas that thrive in the fertile soil of Thessaly. Do not miss your chance to visit picturesque village of Milies in the hills, and to discover its traditional architecture.

Thessaloniki, Greece’s second city after Athens, is in the Macedonia region, on the shores of the Aegean Sea. Visiting its historic center means exploring the entire history of ancient civilisations and peoples: Roman, Greek, Ottoman, Jewish, Byzantine, and so on. Cultures have come together and left their mark on many monuments in the city and in its architecture. No fewer than 15 monuments are on the UNESCO World Heritage list, such as the magnificent Byzantine church, the Hagia Sophia, with its splendid 8th-12-century mosaics. Thessaloniki is also a modern and lively city, animated during the day as well as at night, with its many seafront bars and its markets.

Mount Athos, a peninsula measuring 50 km (31 miles) long and 12 km (7 miles) wide and which rises to an altitude of 2,030 meters (6,660 feet), is also called “Holy Mountain” because of the twenty or so orthodox monasteries and the 2,000 monks that it shelters. It was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1988 thanks to its long religious history, the well-maintained agrarian architecture of the monasteries and the preservation of the flora and fauna around the mountain. Sailing around the peninsula, you admire the majestic monasteries clinging to the rock face and overlooking the Aegean Sea.

Lying in north-east Greece, between East and West, Kavala has many treasures to offer, starting with a majestic fortress overlooking the Aegean Sea, while historical and architectural wonders lie hidden everywhere in the old town. You have a chance to explore the archaeological site of Philippi, a fortified city founded in the 4th century BC, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site A real journey back in time, where Greeks, Romans and early Christians have all left visible marks.  Known as the "Blue City", Chania is also one of Macedonia's most important ports, with delicious seafood restaurants all along its marina.

A volcanic island located near the Dardanelles Strait, Limnos was venerated during Antiquity. Legend has it that Hephaestus, the god of fire, had his forge here. Now one of Greece’s major seaside resorts, Lemnos offers its visitors many superb sandy beaches. It is also home to several archaeological sites, such as the towers of Kastro, an ancient acropolis fortified by the Venetians, or the neolithic site of Poliochni and the city of Hephaestia. Renowned for its olives, fruits, wheat and honey, and for the authenticity of its inhabitants, Lemnos is also known for the quality of its restaurants, ideal for tasting typical Greek dishes.

This unusual gem belonging to the Saronic islands is located to the east of the Peloponnese. There are no cars here. Named after the island, the harbor town is layered up the slopes of a mountainous bay. You may be surprised to see beautiful stone mansions. These are traditional here, as are the multi-colored caïques along the quays. Further along the shore, you discover the Historical Archives Museum. Collections from Athens National History Museum are exhibited in the elegant villa Koundouriotis.
