The Acropolis provides an amazing view of the picture-perfect village of Lindos* and from Mount Filerimos*. Its steep slopes and old mansions make the port of Simi one of the most remarkable sites in the Aegean. Try a frappe in the bay or climb the steps to the upper town of Chorio for an impressive panorama. From Heraklion, the capital of Crete, set off on a discovery tour into the island’s hinterland in an all-terrain vehicle* – enjoy the changing landscapes and magnificent views that open up to you along the way. From Katakolon, you have the opportunity to visit the sacred site of Olympia*: situated at the foot of Mount Kronos, it is still the legendary place where the Olympic flame is lit before being brought to the respective venue. The world-famous Mount Etna on Sicily, Europe’s largest active volcano, will cast a spell over you when you set off from Syracuse on an impressive scenic tour* to the crater rim.
