World Travel. Family Discovery.

Mythological discoveries and storytelling experiences bring ancient Greece to life for kids on this modern-day Greek odyssey that bridges ancient history in Athens with present time pleasures on the beach in Costa Navarino.

In Athens, the Acropolis, Parthenon, and Ancient Agora spark imagination and curiosity. The interactive Acropolis Museum makes history fun and hands-on. A walk in the Plaka invites with cultural treats and kid friendly fare: think souvlaki, pita, fresh fruit, and honey-soaked pastries like baklava. Country farms share family traditions centuries old. .  Guided excursions to the archaeological site of Delphi considered the center of the world by the ancient Greeks, and a ferry ride to car-free Hydra engage with an in-depth look at daily life here, past and present. Blessed with natural beauty and warm temperatures, coastal Greece welcomes family adventures all year round. Journey to seaside Costa Navarino for beachfront bliss and waterfront activities. Along the way, stop at a country farm for a taste of local fare. See where the Olympic Games were born during an inspiring visit to Olympia and take a boat ride along the coast to see the sights by sea. New Olympic champions will be crowned at Olympic Games of your own during a friendly family competition every generation will enjoy together. Pairing culture and nature with history and fun makes this a trip of a lifetime for today's families.

4x4 adventure in Wadi Rum

Desert offroad adventure in Jordan's Wadi Rum

Jordan's Wadi Rum – popularly known as the "Valley of the Moon" – is home to some of the most stunning desert landscapes on Earth. Exploring its beautiful, lunar-like dunes and towering sandstone cliffs by four-wheel-drive vehicle is an absolutely unforgettable experience – and we invite you to do just that… and perhaps even ride a camel… on this thrilling off-road adventure!

The Valley of the Kings

Discovering Egypt's Valley of the Kings

Nestled in Egypt's Theban hills west of the Nile River, near today's Luxor, stands the Valley of the Kings – where, between the 16th and 11th centuries BC, complexes of tombs were cut out of the rock to house the remains of the Pharaohs and other nobles of Egypt's New Kingdom, and prepare them for the afterlife. This UNESCO World Heritage Site contains more than 60 identified tombs and chambers. While many were once filled with treasures, most have been plundered through the ages… with the exception of that of the famous tomb of Tutankhamun, discovered intact in the 1920s, whose artifacts and remains have been removed and preserved. Visiting any of these tombs today is an experience not to be missed.
