It’s the first day in Rome and from these well-known Spanish steps, tourists can see the city center and the capital of Rome. (Maddie McAllister)

The view of the pristine and holy Vatican in Vatican City; aka the smallest country in the world. Vatican City is in the center of Rome but is labeled its own country, this is also where Pope Francis lives and speaks to the city for a mass every Sunday. (Maddie McAllister)

A night out in the city of Rome is required while visiting. Tourists can view the extravagant nightlife and the gorgeous bright lights lighting up the canal. (Maddie McAllister)

One of the most important stops in Greece is the Parthenon in Athens. One is able to see the ruins of a once-populated kingdom and able to see the almost undamaged temple of Nike. On the edge of the Parthenon, you’re able to see the entire city with just one shot. (Maddie McAllister)

The first Olympic stadium stands in nearly pristine condition in Olympia Greece. It’s open for tours every day and once in a while, the stadium lights turn on and light up the town center. (Maddie McAllister)

Being able to view the Parthenon in Greece from the museum it’s based on is truly an eye-opening experience. The museum is filled with information and objects from that time period. (Maddie McAllister)

Pulling up to port to the beautiful island of Mykonos. The bright lights light up the island which brings you closer to the beautiful culture on the island. (Maddie McAllister)

Cruising back or cruising away from the ship you’re able to see the beautiful dark blue water lighting up as the transport ships create wakes in the sea. While on that transport ship, one is able to see the beautiful mountaintop island of Santorini. (Maddie McAllister)

One of the most popular and well-known stops on the Greek island cruise tour is Santorini. The island is known for its blue circular roofs and pristine white buildings, here one is able to tour the entire island on just one road. (Maddie McAllister)

The perfect time to smell the crisp ocean air is while you’re on a cruise ship. You’re able to sit and eat a delicious buffet while enjoying a beautiful sunset. (Maddie McAllister)

One must experience a beach day on the island of Rhodes. The crystal blue and clear water is incredibly refreshing, but be careful, the rocks are quite hot! (Maddie McAllister)

A view out of a Boeing 777 flying over the country of Greenland. Passengers can see what looks like tiny glaciers floating in the North Atlantic Ocean. (Maddie McAllister)

Skiers flying Lufthansa are currently landing in Frankfurt Germany. Viewing the beautiful small towns and open green fields is a view one can’t forget. (Maddie McAllister)

This floor that was originally made during the 8-9th century B.C. was found in this condition and is blocked from any tourists that are viewing the rest of the village. (Maddie McAllister)

A visit to the ruins of Pompeii is a must. The view of the dug-up village with Mount Vesuvius in the background along with the comedic tour guides will certainly make your experience one to remember. (Maddie McAllister)

This was the first quarter-mile running field for the Olympics. Tourists are still able to view and run on this infamous field and experience how long this run truly is. (Maddie McAllister)

The infamous Parthenon is glowing with the early morning sunrise. Although it would be incredible to see this structure without the reinforcement bars, one may never be able to. The beams are the only thing keeping this structure standing as tall as it is. (Maddie McAllister)

This small open theatre was known for its dramatic shows in the early 10th century B.C… Famous artists still play at this stadium but without microphones. The echo is so loud that even ones voice can shake the theatre. (Maddie McAllister)

This crystal clear blue day with views of islands in the distance is one to see. The feel of the wind in your hair and the wake of the ship in the back is something so relaxing and soothing. A feeling one could never forget. (Maddie McAllister)
