The Acropolis in Athens is a must-see, with the iconic Parthenon temple sitting atop a hill overlooking the city. Built in 447 BC, the Parthenon honors the goddess Athena. When climbing up the stone walkways, you'll see magnificent Doric columns and architecture.


The Temple of Poseidon at Sounion, perched on a cliff with views of the sea, is stunning at sunset. Only 15 columns remain of the original temple from 444 BC, but it's majestic.


The Palace of Knossos on Crete, home of the Minoan civilization from 2000 BC, is Europe's oldest city. Though mostly ruins, you can still see remnants of royal chambers, baths, and the legendary labyrinth.

First time Traveling Alone
I have never traveled without family and my girlfriend and I worked with Daena to take a week long getaway to Mexico. We stayed in Punta Cana and the resort was amazing. But, more importantly Daena educated us on the safety of traveling as two young woman to a foreign country, She set up tours and a limo to pick us up at the airport. I have recommended her to others and I'm looking forward to booking another trip with her. She is the best.

Another great Disney Vacation
Daena is friendly, knowledgeable and great to work with. It is our second time working with her to plan our Disney vacation. She is very knowledgeable and presents options in a no pressure manner to meet your preferences and budget. She made some great suggestions for new things to try (restaurant venues and tours). Loved them all!!
