A sensual city, nestled in the rocky shores of the Mediterranean, and it beckons all Divas to dive into its mythical ruins, dine on its comforting cuisine, and die a thousand times over while watching the sunset. No other place on earth lives up to its astounding reputation; whitewashed buildings with turquoise domes perch lazily over sparkling seas as dark stray cats scamper along bougainvillea-covered walls. Hunched grandmothers dressed in black carry baskets full of fresh vegetables home from the open markets and strapping, swarthy Greek youth splash in clear waters. From the Acropolis to Zorba the Greek, this destination dazzles with timeless, iconic images. And you can watch it all unfold while sipping gritty Greek coffee or crisp white wine.
