Thessaloniki
Thessaloniki is a lively modern city bustling with life and movement. The past and present merge at old taverns, "ouzeries", restaurants next to hotels and luxury bars, "bouzouki halls" (Thessaloniki is the cradle of modern Greek popular song, "rembetika"), cinema halls, theaters and sidewalk cafes on street pavements and squares. Small family run taverns and basement pastry shops offer a delicious variety of famous Macedonian specialties. Walk through Ladadika neighborhood, the old Red Light district (and before that the Egyptian market and later the oil market from where it got its name), full of ouzeries, bars, cafes and bistro-style restaurants and taverns. The old port area is being renovated with warehouses being turned into large restaurants, clubs and art galleries. Take your time and visit the neighborhood of Kalamaria, a modern area on the eastern edge of the city, overlooking a large marina and the Thermaikos Gulf.

Athens
The city with the most glorious history in the world, a city worshipped by gods and people, a magical city. The enchanting capital of Greece has always been a birthplace for civilization. Just go for shopping in the Ancient Agora and Monastiraki. It’s befitting that this monument, the center of commercial and business life in ancient times, would later give rise to the buzzing shopping district that surrounds it today. Of course, Monastiraki does not compare to the milieu of the Ancient Agora, but it still continues to inspire those who live, work and visit the area. Dine at one or several restaurants in Plaka and explore the ancient monuments, contemporary museums and traditional souvenir shops throughout. Visit a beach in Athens and you are likely to feel like you're on a Greek island, as you are greeted with stretches of crystal sands, fine pebbles and blue, clean waters. Take a road trip to the southernmost tip of Attica for a breathtaking drive along the coastal highway and you are rewarded with a visit to one of the most fascinating temples in ancient history, the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounio.

Cool things to do: Wander around its magnificent Old City, surrounded by medieval walls with seven gates, and admire the Palace of the Grand Master, the most awe-inspiring building in the whole island. Visit the ancient harbor (Mandraki) which has 3 windmills and the fortifications at the end of the dock. Go surfing and Kite surfing on the West Coast and especially on the south end of the island. Climb Mt. Attavyros which is a challenging 2-3 hour climb to the islands highest point (1215m).
Fun in the sun: There are a good variety of beaches in Rhodes. The East side of the island has almost continuous sandy beaches with calm waters. Beaches on the west are mostly more stony. Some of the most popular beaches are: Kalithea (originally an Italian built Spa. It is a very pleasant spot but can be crowded), Faliraki (a long sandy beach with plenty of taverns to choose from), Ladiko Beach (this is a very scenic spot), Tsambika Beach (nude sunbathing is tolerated), Gennadi Beach (this area attracts many surfers).
Historical Fun Facts: Rhodes has one of the longest and most splendid histories of any place in the world. Inhabited since Neolithic times, the island had important Bronze Age settlements, and at the dawn of the historical era was already famous for its three powerful cities of Lindos, Lalysos, and Kameiros, as mentioned in Homer. Rhodes later became part of the Byzantine Empire and from the 7th century on fell under the general eclipse of the Dark Ages. Later in the Middle Ages, Rhodes’ importance again increased, as it came under the influence first of the Venetians, then of the Genoese, and finally of the Knights of Saint John.
