6:00 p.m. PT / 9:00 p.m. ET | REGISTER

Guidebook author and Monday Night Travel favorite Lucas Peters is back for a report on his family's summer road trip across Portugal. The journey begins in Lagos, where we sail along dramatic coastlines by day and camp beachside by night. With Lucas at the wheel, we head north to Portugal's world-class capital of Lisbon, visit the colorful fishing-village-turned-beach-resort Costa Nova, stop in second city Porto for a bike ride, and finish at the fortress town of Elvas. Along the way, Lucas pulls over to offer European road-trip tips and advice for traveling with young global citizens.

November 3: Greece Beyond Athens with Colleen Schaffer

6:00 p.m. PT / 9:00 p.m. ET | REGISTER

To celebrate the release of our new Greece guidebook, tour guide Colleen Schaffer returns to MNT to report on her recent odyssey around the cradle of Western civilization. Together, we explore the historic port of Napflio, the idyllic island of Hydra, and other sun-drenched, small-town favorites on the Aegean Sea. Plus, we discover hidden gems our guidebook researchers added to our latest Greece book, like Meteora, where Byzantine monasteries cling to stony pinnacles. Along the way, we bask in the long history, incomparable sights, and simple lifestyle of endlessly appealing Greece.
