Starry Nights in Greece & Croatia

Save your incline energy now that you have a sweet E-bike to do all the strenuous work. Instead, harness that moxie by soaking up the incredible views around the Cycladic caldera. By zipping through narrow streets in old-timey villages, you can humbly brag that you’re burning calories and not emissions. Your tour includes local coffee or juice — elevated by the surrounding by fragrant citrus and earthy minerals in a splendid volcanic valley.

With a chef leading the way, you'll take in the sounds, aromas, and textures of a local market while walking through colorful stalls of jams, olives, and other delicacies you'll use on your culinary escapade. You’ll pass by charming homes in the village before entering the restaurant where these goods will be transformed into edible art — Turkish cuisine. As your chef goes over style and technique, you’ll help prepare a meal. Say şerefe as you clink a wine glass (or two) and feast family-style.

It’s your vacation and it’s time to get fancy. To get the maximum exposure to the best beaches of Mykonos, set sail to the South Coast on a boat where you’ll stop by the stunning shores of Platis Gialos, Paradise Beach, and Elia Beach. Your captain will drop anchor at some of the best spots including the Super Paradise Beach, remote islets (weather permitting), and stunning postcard-worthy sea-scapes.

Peeking at the nearby islands dotting the ocean and the huge rocky cliffs that cut the shore, you'll rise to the top of Mount Srd on a cable car. Climb the famous stairway at Pile Gate and follow your guide along the southern part of the walls. Spot the Minčeta, St. John's, and Bokar Fortresses, see the Maritime Museum and gaze at the traditional orange rooftops that give Dubrovnik's Old Town an exceptional (and stunning) look. Then, head back down and explore the medieval city from within.

Explore Montenegro's cultural, historical, and religious influences on a scenic journey to the Town of Perast. There, you'll marvel at the Baroque architecture of the Church of St. Nicholas and get fascinating views of Our Lady of the Rocks, one of the two islets built on Boka Bay. Traveling to the small village of Morinj for an exquisite lunch and wine, you'll reach the charming Ćatovića Mlini, a 200-year-old, family-owned olive and grain grinding mill turned into a world-class establishment.

Enjoy the gorgeous views of Corfu's Old Town from a traditional fishing boat locals call a caïque. As you sail along the narrow channels of the Sivota Islands and glide into a cave, your local guide will share all the cultural facts. Once the captain drops anchor, you'll get to cool down with a dip, swim for a bit, and snorkel in the exotic waters of Blue Lagoon. Feast your eyes on the surreal Corfiot landscape, see the Greek coastline from the water, and if you're lucky, some dolphins too.
