Ancestral Attic General Sightseeing Tours

Poland: Explore Poland; a country that like the fabled Phoenix, has risen from the ashes time and time again. Each corner of the country has something unique to present from castles at almost every turn to the sandy beaches of the Baltic Coast. Warsaw offers a high tech mix of the new coupled with the remains of the old. New world cuisine, café culture and clubs that rock until the wee hours of the night are not hard to find while the beautifully reconstructed Old Town lies snugly at its center.

Krakow on the other hand is referred to as the "Jewel of Poland" and is reminiscent of its majestic start. Krakow was intentionally left mostly unharmed and intact during WW 2 as even Hitler could not bear to destroy such a beautiful city. From its enchanting medieval center to the famous Wawel Hill; Krakow is a sight to behold and to prove it, the city was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1978. How about visiting an entire cathedral carved out of salt? Head to the Wieliczka Salt Mines just outside of Krakow to behold this truly unique achievement.

Travel across the country's northern expanse and you'll come upon a host of 14th-century Gothic castles, like the magnificent example at Malbork (the last remnants of the once powerful Teutonic Knights) or visit the country's south eastern span and ride horseback through the breathtaking county side of Lublin.

See Gdansk which is distinguished by beautiful buildings and a history that stretches back more than 1,000 years or take a jaunt to the neighboring trendy artsy town of Sopot. Do you have a penchant for nature? How about a hike in the remarkable Tatra Mountains in Zakopane to the south?
