Trending Videos Olive and cypress trees shade the terraces of the Mandarin Oriental, Costa Navarino. Photo: Margarita NikitakiWhen Petros Themelis first visited the ruins of Ancient Messene in 1986, there wasn’t much to see: only a few broken columns, strewn around the vineyards and olive groves, and some of the colossal foundations of the city’s fourth-century B.C. fortifications. Over the intervening millennia, whole sections of the city walls had been carted away for use in other buildings.

From budget-friendly tavernas to dirt-cheap souvlaki joints where some of the tastiest meat you’ll ever eat is wrapped in greaseproof paper, Athens is a city where you can eat well without spending a fortune. Locals eat late and never alone; they linger for hours over tiny tables heaped with mezze. Eating out is as much about sharing dishes, clinking glasses, and people-watching as it is about seasonal ingredients served with minimal fuss.

A freak of nature, Santorini is a place of terrible beauty. The flooded caldera was created by a volcanic explosion three millennia ago, which blew the heart out of the island. A crescent of black and red cliffs plunges down to the submerged volcano, with two smouldering craters marooned in the deep blue sea. Whitewashed villages are honeycombed out of the cliff face.
