Greece: The Cradle of Western Civilization

Greece is so much more than turquoise beaches; it's ancient history, living mythology, and delicious food at very reasonable prices if you avoid high season.

We lived a real 8-day experience exploring Athens on foot, then driving around the Peloponnese and Meteora, in low season (March). Here's the complete itinerary, step by step, real budget included.
