Athens: At the center of the Greek mainland lies the prefecture of Attica, known to most due to its capital, the interesting city of Athens. This place gathers pieces from all the parts of the history of Greece, since it remained the center of civilization and culture for many centuries.

Athens is an important part of ancient Greek history, having set the basis for the past two millenniums in European ascension and culture. It holds returns of various eras that created the picture of the modern world we see today, penetrating the streets and houses and merging with the echoes of the past.

Santorini: Santorini, a creation of peeved nature, due to her special history and legends that follow her, the traditional settlements and the vivid cosmic life, has conquered the whole world. It is the southest island of Cyclades. It is an island with long history that has suffered a lot of catastrophes due to volcano eruptions that have changed its shape. But human power turned to be stronger than rough nature. Today the -almost- lunar scenery with the black, grey and red volcanic rocks has turned into a white state. The mild architecture of Cyclades islands has changed the island's sight. The graphic villages, with the narrow cobblestone pavements, the small squares and their churches impress every visitor. View to volcano that most tourist resorts have- is spectacular. The picture is unique especially sunset. Photos of Santorini's sunset are all around the world. At dawn all visitors run to Kaldera to see the reddish sky. All of Santorini is a site.

Mykanos: The magic of Greece is in its very ambiguity, in the tensions that pull it from one wonderful, delicious extreme to the other. The senses are pleased and pampered by the serene beauty of Greece found in the depth of its vistas, the spectacular sunrises and sunsets, and the radiance of the light that even the poets cannot adequately describe. The senses are titillated and tempted, also by Greece's extremes, found in the food and drink, flesh, nightlife, music, and the burning sun. These tensions intrigue and mystify the visitor—the barbarian who comes to the shores of Greece—but they are perfectly understandable to the Greeks who live everyday with the conflicting realities of life in the land of the gods.

Mykonos is famous world-wide for its chalk-white beauty and its vibrant night life. Celebrities and dignitaries from all over the world make this island a destination to shop, sun bathe, party, and island hop, and cruise ships from all over the world come here. It is not unusual when walking through the white-washed streets of the town center, called Hora, to see a world famous model or movie star gazing into a jewelry store while munching on a cheese pie, looking very much like Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffanys." The glorious golden and jewel-studded rings, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces displayed in the windows of the jewelry artists of Mykonos will bedazzle even the most sophisticated celebrity.

The contrasts on Mykonos can best be seen early on a Sunday morning, between 6 and 8 am. During these times, worshippers returning to their homes share the streets with night people who have recently left the clubs and discos. Widows covered by traditional black dresses and head scarves pass young women scantily attired; each group stares in amazement at the other, saving their caustic comments for when they are safely out of earshot. Men and women selling produce from their donkeys stand far from young rent boys trying to make one more score before the "night" ends. Music from nearby clubs plays softly, perhaps in deference to the hundreds of church bells tolling all over the island.

Thessaloniki: Is a very different city from Athens but no less sophisticated and (some might say) culturally superior. The influence of the east is more pronounced, not just in the delicious food, but in the relaxed lifestyle. It's a big city with an almost college town feel, like Boston or Austin, but Greek.

The nightlife is exceptional, the bars and clubs play great music. The restaurants and ouzeries are among the best in Greece. There are many cinemas showing first-run English language films. The city is also the site of the renowned Thessaloniki Film Festival in October-November. The women, considered the most chic in Greece, support a high-fashion industry that rivals Athens so if you like to shop for clothes, shoes and jewelry you will be quite happy here.

There are not a large number of ancient ruins within the city but there are enough Roman and Byzantine sites to keep any visitor happy, plenty of museums and of course the ruins of Vergina which include the tomb of Phillip, father of Alexander the great. It's also a good starting point for seeing some of the best beaches and most beautiful spots in Greece in the region known as Macedon
