Yep, I was so very lucky when I was a teen. Did Crete, Athens, Rome, a few off beat islands that I can't recall (Simi I think was one and Kos??) - doing the whole Acropolis, Parthenon, Knossos site, Colossuem, Catacombs........ a lot of Turkey and Cyprus has similar. I was so fortunate to go so long ago, as a lot of areas now, you can't enter or take flash photography - but it's still utterly amazing.
Like you, I did a lot of travelling in my youth, visited some amazing places when I was in the merchant navy, have been to Israel, Alaska, San Francisco, Caribbean, on the cruise ships, and also worked as a resort rep and coach courier all over Europe. I always had itchy feet and am really glad I did so much before I settled down. Travelled a lot in the Middle East when I married as my ex husband was working in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain etc. Also loved Egypt, the holiday of a lifetime. Next year I am planning to go to China, and I really can't wait
