The Panathenaic Stadium is a must see tourist destination in Athens and a unique architectural destination since it's the only stadium in the world built entirely out of marble. But what makes this place stand out from everything that we saw in Greece is that this place is where the first modern Olympics Games were hosted back in 1896.

After walking in the sun for hours, we decided we deserved some excellent food. That was when we stumbled upon Seariani, a charming seafood restaurant in a cute cat-filled alley behind the town square. Very easy to find but hidden enough to eat in the outside tables with no people passing by.

Agios Nikolaos is a small chapel in Megalochori, located on the island of Santorini. But this small church isn't like any other church, and it was built in the rocky cliffs that overlook the crater and the Aegean sea below. Its bell tower has the traditional triptych of bells that can be found all around the Greek islands, but this feels more unique due to its location.

We were in Mykonos in the summer of 2021, exploring the Aegean sea island while onboard Running on Waves. When we reached Mykonos, we had a small list of places to visit, and the windmills of Mykonos were high on that list. Mainly because we have seen them online and they looked gorgeous and, second, because we visited windmills in Berlin before. This is something that we do whenever we travel somewhere.
