Curator’s statement
Choosing locations in Greece can be challenging because it is such a beautiful country with endless options. When given 10 days, I narrowed it down to these three cities, and they did not disappoint! I loved Athens, a vibrant city that I wished I had more time to explore. It is the perfect place for a history lesson, but it will surprise you how contemporary it is. Naxos was the perfect next stop for relaxing on the beautiful beaches, and the food was just incredible. The villages are picturesque, and Chora is a charming town to spend time in. Santorini, one of the most famous destinations in Greece, was not to be missed. This island has some of the most sought-after views, and the sunsets will take your breath away!
