Join Best Single Travel on a singles vacation through Atlanta’s history and heritage. Born a railroad stop and christened as a place that would never amount to anything. General Sherman didn't agree. He called it the citadel of the South and burned it. Margaret Mitchell didn't agree. She wrote a book about it. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. didn't agree. He called it home. President Jimmy Carter didn't agree. He located his Library and Center for World Peace here. CNN's Ted Turner didn't agree. He founded his empire here.
Discover Atlanta ... from Civil War to Civil Rights to Coca Cola to the Centennial Olympic Games, and have fun along the way!
Vacation Day 1 – Atlanta, Georgia
Arrive at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and make your way to the group's hotel, the Hampton Inn and Suites Atlanta Downtown. Take a taxi or shuttle or if you are very adventurous you might try the MARTA train to the Peachtree Center Station which is about three blocks from our hotel.
Tonight meet and greet with your local Atlanta tour leader and fellow single travelers then walk to a restaurant for a bite to eat.
Vacation Day 2 – Discover Atlanta
Today we see Atlanta with our knowledgable local guide. First we travel north for a drive through one of Atlanta's most prestigious neighborhoods - Buckhead. The Governor's Mansion is located here - and it is NOT the largest house on the block. Then sit back and relax on our whirlwind tour of the city.
See favorites like the gold-domed State Capitol and the grand old Fox Theater. Check out Atlantic Station, Atlanta's hot new 'city within the city'and travel with us to an earlier Atlanta with a visit to Inman Park with its beautifully restored Victorian architecture. We will pause at the Martin Luther King Historic District to visit his tombstone and museum, as well as the old Ebenezer Baptist Church and the National Parks Civil Rights building.
We'll take a look at Centennial Olympic Park, Atlanta's best legacy from the 1996 Olympic Games. See the dancing waters of the Five Rings Fountain and the Commemorative Bricks. Learn the stories of the '96 Games and the Memorial Quilt Plazas. You can’t miss the Georgia Aquarium, the largest in the United States! The World of Coca Cola is right next door.
This afternoon we will take in the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coca Cola at our leisure.
The Aquarium is home to over 100,000 animals living in more than eight million gallons of water. Don’t miss the star attractions - the whale sharks! The beluga whales and penguins are neat, too. Atlanta and Coca-Cola have grown up together. This is a fun tour that takes a look at the history of this southern born soft drink. Founded by Asa Candler in 1891 as a local headache remedy, today, Coke is sold in 160 countries around the world and consumed more than 448 million times a day. Get closer than ever before to the vault containing the Secret Formula. Be sure to stop by the tasting room for samples of Coke’s 60 international products. It’s the real thing!
When we have completed the tour of the World of Coca Cola we will have a short walk back to our hotel. Time to relax before you meet the group for dinner.
Vacation Day 3 – “Searching for Scarlett”. Is she gone with the wind?
We set the stage with a visit to the Cyclorama. Experience for yourself a day in that long ago Civil War Battle of Atlanta, July 22, 1864. Presented as a three-dimensional panorama with music and narration, this largest oil painting in the world captures the drama that took place in Atlanta during America's tragic Civil War.
Our next stop is The Margaret Mitchell House and Museum, this is the apartment where she lived with her husband when she wrote, Gone With The Wind. It will surprise you. Remember - this is the birthplace of THE BOOK that made possible the movie that premiered here in Atlanta in 1939, grossed $14 million the first year and received a record 10 Academy Awards. It all started right here on Peachtree Street in a tiny little apartment dubbed "The Dump" by a tiny little woman named Margaret Mitchell Upshaw Marsh.
After lunch experience Southern hospitality first hand at the Atlanta History Center. See the 1860’s Smith family farm and the 1928 Swan House with its 22 acres of beautiful gardens and trails. Then we depart for Marietta, and the “Gone With the Wind” museum.
The rustle of petticoats.
The smell of gunpowder.
Cotton fields and plantations.
Step back in time with the sights and sounds of Atlanta during the Civil War and Reconstruction as told through the eyes of Scarlett O'Hara and her dashing romancer, Rhett Butler. The Gone with the Wind Museum with its an extensive collection of memorabilia and Scarlett on the Square is sure to delight and intrigue any fan from novice to aficionado. We will choose from the many excellent eating places here where to have dinner
Vacation Day 4 – Atlanta At Leisure
Today is a free day to explore on your own and here are some options using your City Pass. Take the Inside CNN Studio Tour, and visit either the High Museum of Art or Fernbank Museum of Natural History. Or just explore downtown Atlanta, now that you know your way around.
A farewell dinner tonight is at Pitty Pat’s Porch, a short walk from our hotel. We may as well see what happened to one of Scarlett’s relatives. The story is told that when Scarlett visited Atlanta she always stayed with Aunt Pittypat. During those visits, Aunty Pitty would prepare only her best recipes. At Pittypat's Porch, the tradition continues...
Day 5 – Depart Atlanta

Visa:
You will not be able to leave your home country if you do not have a valid passport (but you won’t need a visa or shots). Also note that some countries will not allow you to enter if your passport is due to expire within 6 months. Check your passport expiration date and renew your passport ASAP if need be.
Money:
Greece's monetary unit is the Euro. No other currency is accepted. The exchange rates are the same throughout the country and you can exchange money at a bank or an official exchange shop where you will get the best rates. Rates at the airport seem to favor the bank. Almost every shop, hotel and restaurant accepts credit cards, but many shops in small towns don't.
Time:
Greece is 2 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time which means it is 7 hours later in Greece than it is on the East Coast of the United States and Canada, and 10 hours later than it is on the West Coast.
Electric Plugs
Electrical sockets (outlets) in Greece usually supply electricity at between 220 and 240 volts AC. If you're plugging in an appliance that was built for 220-240 volt electrical input, or an appliance that is compatible with multiple voltages, then an adapter is all you need.
But travel plug adapters do not change the voltage, so the electricity coming through the adapter will still be the same 220-240 volts the socket is supplying. North American sockets supply electricity between 110 and 120 volts, far lower than in most countries of the world. Consequently, North Americans will need to use an electric converter, NOT an adapter.
Weather
The summer months of July and August are the busiest months, but also have the most ferries and flights scheduled to the Greek islands. The weather is good in Greece by most standards from April to mid October, with temperatures warm enough for swimming from mid-May through September.
The sun in Greece is very strong. It is really important to bring a good sun hat.
What to Pack for Your Vacation
The Greek Islands are very casual, and on the beach and in most beach side cafes and tavernas you could wear tee shirts, shorts and swimsuits, though if you're just wearing a swim suit you might want to add a shirt or cover-up. In towns casual clothes are recommended. As for religious sites, local custom vary so be prepared to dress rather modestly if you are visiting churches or monasteries.

Local Foods
The tastes of Greece are rooted in the landscape; the olive groves on the hillside, the trees laden with lemons, the mint and oregano that gives out its fragrance as you brush by. The Greeks typically eat their big meal of the day in a late lunch and then have an afternoon siesta during the heat of the summer, with only a smaller light meal in the evening.
The main ingredient you will probably find in every Greek dish is olive oil and a Greek salad will be on every table. Fresh fish or Kalamari (squid) would be an excellent choice for lunch or dinner. For a quck lunch individual Spinach Pies (spanakopita), Gyros (gee'ros.), and Cheese Pie (Tyropita) are a good choice.
Every restaurant in Greece is obligated by law to exhibit the menu with prices by the entrance. This way you can stroll down the street, and browse at all the menus and prices before you make a decision to enter a restaurant.
There is no closing hour established for restaurants, bars, cafeterias and night clubs.
