About the Destinations
Rome, Italy
Rome, the capital city of Italy, is home to a rich history dating back to the 7th century BC. Situated on the banks of the Tiber River, the ‘Eternal City’ boasts works by the great masters such as Bernini, Raphael, Caravaggio and Michelangelo. Bustling market squares like the Campo de' Fiori lead to avenues lined with over 900 historical churches and architectural and historical wonders like the Forum Romanum, Colosseum, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Baths of Caracalla, and more. If you are an art and history lover, you can’t miss Rome’s Galleria Borghese and, of course, Vatican City - a city-state within Rome, home to St. Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel.
Athens, Greece
Athens is the capital city of Greece and known as the “birthplace of democracy,” with histories dating back to the 5th century BC. Greek philosophers, Plato and Aristotle, once debated in what now is a bustling city dotted with ancient landmarks and museums such as the Acropolis, National Archaeological Museum, Temple of Olympian Zeus and Parthenon. Enjoy a warm Mediterranean climate with sunshine-filled days by walking or biking through the town’s historic center, which has been converted into a large pedestrian zone and leads to the city’s major archaeological sites. Taste traditional Greek dishes in one of the city’s many tavernas serving local dishes like moussaka, souvlaki and kalamaki. Or, shop for locally-made artisan crafts at Monastiraki, a lively neighborhood with stalls selling jewelry, carpets and clothes.
