Smart Travels Europe With Rudy Maxa: Athens and Delphi / Greek Islands

Two episodes plus bonus clips: While Athens sprawls, it's historic core survives. After climbing the Acropolis, prowling the Plaka, and cheering folk dancers, we trip outside the city to Delphi and a medieval monastery. On the Peloponnese, we scope out Nafplion and the ancient capital, Mycenae. Greek Islands: Sun-drenched, upscale and exotic, Santorini is the rim of an ancient volcano. At one end of island is the archeological site of Akrotiri, a city frozen in time by an eruption 3,600 years ago. Naxos offers serenity, bargain rooms, and ancient Kouros sculptures. On trendy Mykonos, we catch RandR, then head to the ancient ruins of Delos, the birthplace of the sun god Apollo.
