Fora’s Take
Since the time of the ancient kingdoms and the aesops, we’ve always known that Greece is a magical place. Today, from sampling the food around Athens in the shadow of the Acropolis, to island hopping across the azure waters of the Aegean, the variety of rich experiences the country offers is extensive.

Things to do
A trip to Greece wouldn't be complete without a stop in Athens and a visit to the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum. Catch sunset drinks with epic views at Ciel Rooftop before dinner at Dopios.
Next, skip the long ferry ride in favor of a cheap flight on Aegean Airlines to Paros. Be sure to check out the old and beautiful seaside town of Naoussa with its many tavernas and cocktail bars.
Santa Maria is a great beach on the northeast side. Be sure to get there early in order to grab a lounge chair or two.
Take advantage of the 10-minute ferry ride to Antiparos, another little town with beautiful beaches.
