Delos
Mykonos , Greece
The island of Delos is the perfect antidote to weaving through tourists around the Acropolis . A short boat ride from Mykonos , the historic island is off the grid for most visitors , so you ’ ll feel as if you have the entire place to yourself . And what a place it is ! The birthplace of Apollo , the island is one massive archeological site filled with temples , markets and mosaics from as far back as the 3rd millennium B . C . While the most photographed spot is the Terrace of the Lions — five marble lions added to the island in the 7th century B . C . — the most jaw-dropping vista rewards those who hike to the top of Mount Kynthos . From its peak of 370 feet , you will have a breathtaking view of the ruins along with all the islands of the Cycladic archipelago shimmering in the bright blue waters of the Aegean .

Old Town
Dubrovnik , Croatia
The ancient walled city of Dubrovnik juts out into the Adriatic , harboring a jumbled collection of church steeples , terracotta roofs and luxury yachts , creating a masterpiece painting come to life . History lovers are spoiled for choice here . While the spectacular walls that encircle its historic core are the city ’ s defining feature , Old Town is the true gem . One of the world ’ s most perfectly preserved medieval cities , Old Town is flush with Gothic , Renaissance and Baroque churches , monasteries , palaces and fountains . The area is completely carfree , so you can spend a lazy day casually walking from the Rector ’ s Palace to the Cathedral of the Assumption , feeling the historic heft of each faded brick and ruddy-red roof tile .
