Arequipa, known as the "White City," is built from sillar, a pale volcanic stone that glows in the sunlight. This architectural detail gives the historic center its striking appearance and has earned it recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Towering above the city is the perfectly symmetrical Misti Volcano, which, along with two neighboring peaks, forms a dramatic backdrop.
Seven miles outside of historic Athens, the Greek coastal city of Piraeus lies upon the sparkling waters of the Aegean Sea and is the largest passenger port in Europe, servicing nearly 20 million passengers per year.
Visitors to this breathtaking and romantic Cyclades archipelago will gaze at the whitewashed cubiform houses sitting cliffside and hovering over the water.
Whether you are in D.C. on business or vacation, you'll find that it's a fascinating city that is full of history, art, theatre, and dramatic monuments.
