Board your motorcoach for a 30- to 40-minute scenic drive into the heart of Athens. The city's interesting blend of old and new architecture is immediately apparent as you approach your first stop, the New Acropolis Museum.

Board your motorcoach for a scenic driving tour into the heart of Athens. Your narrated tour orients you to the city and passes a host of major sites, including Hadrian's Arch, the statue of Lord Byron, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Constitution Square, the former Royal Palace, the National Gardens, the Academy and the University Library.

Your motorcoach tour of Athens departs from port, en route to a dramatic viewpoint location overlooking the Acropolis. As you gaze upon the spectacular ruins, your knowledgeable guide will describe the history of these great temples and significant buildings, including the famed Parthenon, one of the greatest monuments in ancient civilization. Dedicated to the virgin goddess Athena, the Pentelic marble temple was built 446 - 437 B.C., and its architectural sophistication and Doric style have captivated visitors for centuries. Although the remaining structure appears to be stark, white marble, experts now believe that at one time much of the detail work on the building was brightly colored.

Board your motorcoach for the approximately 30- to 40-minute scenic drive into the heart of Athens en route to the famed Acropolis. Your narrated tour passes a host of major sites, including Hadrian's Arch, the statue of Lord Byron, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Constitution Square, the former Royal Palace, the National Gardens, the Academy, and the University Library.

The word Acropolis means "high city" in ancient Greek, and your first destination sits on a rocky perch, towering more than 500 feet. The Acropolis is a symbol of Greek history, democracy and the ingenuity of the ancient world. Your Discovery Family exclusive full-day tour is geared to both maximize your experience at this singular attraction as well as entertain younger audiences by bringing the thrilling stories of Greek mythology to life.

The word Acropolis means "high city" in Ancient Greek, and your next destination sits on a rocky perch towering more than 500 feet. A sacred place for Athenians since Mycenaean times, the Acropolis is a symbol of Greek history, democracy and the ingenuity of the ancient world.

The largest souq in the world, the Grand Bazaar is a symphony of color, activity and lively trade. Its origins can be traced back to the 1400s, when the bazaar was an important center of commerce. Historically, artisans set up their shops in the same area, and you'll notice that the street names reflect the trade, making it easy to find just what you are looking for! There is a wide selection of leather, jewelry, antiques, copperware, souvenirs, and famous handmade Turkish carpets.

Your first destination is the Suleymaniye Mosque, many of Istanbul's finest mosques were designed by the great Ottoman architect Sinan. You'll visit one of his masterpieces, the Suleymaniye Mosque, built on the order of Suleyman the Magnificent and constructed in the year 1557. Designed to be an architectural counterpoint to Hagia Sophia, it's regarded as the most beautiful of all imperial mosques. Prepare to snap a photo or two of the magnificent architecture and the tombs of the Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent and his wife, Roxelana.

Tour through Old Istanbul, crossing the Galata Bridge. Your guide will point out the Suleymaniye Mosque, one of the most important mosques of the Ottoman Empire, before you drive along the city walls surrounding the ancient city. You will also pass under the age-old Roman aqueduct on your way to visit the Spice Market. The Spice Market or Egyptian Bazaar was constructed in 1663 as a part of the adjacent Yeni Mosque complex, in order to generate funds for the upkeep of the mosque. This was an avant-garde concept at the time - light years ahead of the not-for-profit fundraising game. The Spice Market is the best place to purchase spices familiar and exotic, whose pungent aromas bear little resemblance to the supermarket variety, as well as fresh Turkish Delight, caviar and a fascinating array of teas before you return to the port.

Continuing on your tour, you'll travel to the European side for a dazzling photo opportunity at the Blue Mosque, also known as The Sultan Ahmed Mosque. This 17th-century marvel was built to rival and surpass the grandeur and beauty of Hagia Sophia, and is a true study in color. It displays a multitude of domes and semi-domes and graceful minarets on the exterior, and over 20,000 shimmering blue Iznik tiles in more than 50 different tulip designs, and 216 stained glass windows, on the interior.

A scenic 25-minute drive in your motorcoach takes you across the Galata Bridge into the heart of Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey and the capital of the Ottoman Empire.

Your first stop is the awe-inspiring Topkapi Palace Museum, a huge walled complex that hugs the Bosphorus and offers breathtaking views of the Bosphorus, the Golden Horn and the Sea of Marmara. This former palace of Ottoman sultans is now a museum displaying an extraordinary collection of art, artifacts, and jewels.

Commune with nature on this peaceful day spent at the beautiful Belgrade Forest followed by a delicious, freshly prepared picnic lunch served in a tranquil picnic spot.
