Visit the Plaka district and dine at its restaurants for some slow-roasted kleftiko or a crumbly feta salad.<\/p>\n<p>If a spring getaway is now scribbled on your calendar, why not book one of these locations, which are available on the following trips: Best of Italy; Imperial Europe; Bohemian Highlights or Greek Island Hopper.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image Credits: Assisi \u00a9 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.istockphoto.com\/gb\/photo\/historic-town-of-assisi-at-sunset-umbria-italy-gm526532531-52802136?st=_p_assisi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">iStock\/bluejayphoto<\/a>.
