When it comes to traveling well, we all have our preferences as to what makes the perfect getaway. For some it’s a sunny beachside escape to the Caribbean or big city thrills in London or New York City. For others it’s something more on the adventurous side, like an expedition cruise to Antarctica or cruising down the winding back roads of Europe.

No matter what your ideal getaway is, a great trip should always inspire you, leaving you energized and wanting more. Most importantly, it should take you far from the everyday – whether you’re traveling half-way across the globe or somewhere closer to home.

In this issue of The Affluent Traveler we’ve included some of our very favorite vacation destinations from around the world that are certain to inspire your own inner explorer, regardless if it’s a new destination you’re traveling to or one you’ve seen a dozen times.

Our Feature story on Greece will reacquaint you with this all-time favorite destination and fill you in on some incredible places to stay while there.
