Acropolis Museum has opened in Athens

This week the long awaited New Acropolis Museum has opened in Athens. The museum has been under construction for 11 years and was originally planned to open for the 2004 Olympics. The museum features about 42,000 square feet of exhibition space. Treasures found on the Acropolis are featured and other treasures buried below the ancient Athenian city are visible through the museum’s glass floor. The impressive building itself is worth a visit. If you are going to Athens add it to your list of must sees. The museum is now included on our Best of Athens tour.

Private tours from Gdansk and Gdynia

You asked for it, and now we have it. Clients visiting Gdansk and Gdynia by cruise ship have been asking for a tour which visits the Stutthof Concentration Camp but also includes a visit to the Old Town of Gdansk. You got it, we've added a new 8 hour tour.

The camp became the site for some of the worst atrocities of WWII. Between 1939 and 1945, 127,000 prisoners were officially registered in the camp, HOWEVER those who were immediately singled out for execution were not registered at all, so there is no way of knowing the exact number or people brought to Stutthof. Today the camp is a Memorial. Let us never let something like that happen again.
