Walk on the narrow paths ringing the caldera of Santorini and you'll come across outcroppings of pumice — light and porous volcanic rock — that betrays the island's eruptive past.

The old town of Corfu in Greece's pretty Ionia islands.

Tere Moana anchored off Parga along the northwestern coast of Greece.

Sunset at the Spanish Steps (Scalinata della Trinità dei Monti) in Rome offers a perfect venue for people-watching. It's been a magnet for visitors since the 1700s.

The caldera of Santorini with a view of the whitewashed houses of Fira perched atop sheer cliffs that plunge a thousand feet to the sea. An ocean-filled volcanic ring was left behind by a titanic eruption 3,500 years ago that devastated the region. It's one of the most stunning views in the world.

View of the iconic Acropolis set atop a hilltop in Athens, Greece.

The Colosseum in Rome was long the largest amphitheater in the word, holding 50,000 to 80,000 spectators who watched gladiatorial contests and public spectacles. It was built between 70 AD and 80 AD.

Looking down on the Ponte Sant'Angelo and the Tiber River from the top of Castel Sant'Angelo, Campo Marzio, Rome.

A panorama of the inside of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City.

A color-enhanced view of the Colosseum in Rome at dusk.

JD Lasica: "I still fondly recall the best lunch I ever had, from several years ago: fresh hand-picked grilled fish, horta, Greek salad and spectacularly awful homemade wine prepared by two lovely sister-owners of a taverna on the southeast side of Santorini who spoke not a word of English."

The white marble Arch of Septimius Severus at the northwest corner of the Roman Forum in Rome was dedicated in AD 203 following a military victory.

Inside the Vatican Museum Library.

The elaborately painted blue ceiling of the Santa Maria Sopra Minerva in Rome.

The sugar cube houses of Oia perch atop red rock cliffs that loom over the Aegean Sea on the magical island of Santorini.

A chapel on Mykonos, one of the Greek isles on a Tere Moana cruise to the eastern Mediterranean.

A shot of Palatine Hill in Rome. Legend says this is where Romulus killed his twin and founded Rome in 753 BC.

Trevi Fountain in Rome. Careful not to get hit by flying coins!

Ostia Antica, a large archeological site, was once the main harbor of ancient Rome. Today it's near the modern suburb of Ostia, and you can wander through ruins of Roman streets and many buildings.
