As a lover of History and a reader of the Odyssey I imagined what life would be like thousands of years ago in the Ancient Civilizations of Greece.

I loved every minute, and dream of returning for a vacation that would allow me to really soak in the culture, the environment and the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link \" href=\"https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/beauty\/\"target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener\" title=\"beauty\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">beauty<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Greek Isles were everything I thought they would be and more.
