Tours

Join our eight-day tour and indulge in the island beauty of Greece! Lay back and relax on the white sandy beaches in Mykonos and get a glimpse of its vivid nightlife while having a drink at one of its clubs. Indulge in the romantic essence of the island of Santorini, walk along its bright coastline, and enjoy an awe-inspiring sunset upon the white-washed houses and the endless Mediterranean Sea. Traditional local gastronomy and wine tasting will only enrich your Greek experience within the Cyclades islands.

TOUR HIGHLIGHTS

Athens: one of the most historic cities in the world, among the oldest cities in Europe with a history of 3000 years. Acropolis, Syntagma Square and many more sites are waiting to be discovered.

Mykonos: Mykonos is the party animal of the Cycladic islands, Greece’s answer to Ibiza, with bronzed bodies thronging its beaches by day and bass lines pounding through its super clubs until dawn. However, there is more to Mykonos than the dazzling sand and insatiable revellers. Chora village and the “Little Venice” are the most picturesque site on the island.

Santorini: A precious gem of the Aegean which consists of Thíra, Thirassiá, Asproníssi, Palea and Nea Kaméni. The whole complex of Santorini islands is still an active volcano whose crater is in the sea and the contrast it creates with the white-washed buildings set against the vibrant blue sky is what makes it so unique.

Day 1: ARRIVAL ATHENS

Upon your arrival at Athens airport or Piraeus port, meet and greet, and transfer to your hotel for check-in. The afternoon is free at leisure for exploring this city that never sleeps. You may experience the city’s vibe by visiting its very heart - Syntagma Square and have a nice, quiet walk in the beautiful alleys of Plaka where you can also find numerous small shops selling souvenirs and other local arts and crafts. 

Overnight in Athens.

Day 2: ATHENS

After breakfast enjoy free day at leisure or join our half-day Athens city tour (not included). 


Half-day Athens city tour:

Meet your guide, hop on to your bus and explore the striking contrasts that make Athens such a fascinating city. Our expert guide will take you to see the Panathenaic Stadium where the first Olympic Games of modern times were held in 1896 (shortstop). Continue and pass by the Prime Minister's residence (ex Royal Palace) guarded by the Euzones in their colourful uniform, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Hadrian's Arch, the Parliament and the memorial to the Unknown Soldier, the Academy, the University, the National Library, the Constitution Square (Syntagma). On the Acropolis visit the Architectural Masterpieces of the Golden Age of Athens: The Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion and finally "the harmony between material and spirit", the monument that "puts an order in the mind", the Parthenon. Continue and visit the place where at last the statues found their home and admire the wonders of the classical era: The new Acropolis museum (due to certain restrictions in the visiting hours of the new Acropolis museum the order of the program can be changed). 

You will be back at the hotel at approx. at 13:30 pm. The rest of the day at leisure. Give a try to the local gastronomy at one of the Greek taverns and enjoy the flavors of the Mediterranean coast or stroll down to ancient streets one more time and absorb this exclusive atmosphere on your own.

Overnight in Athens.

Day 3: ATHENS – MYKONOS (3 hrs, by hydro boat)

Breakfast at your hotel. Your driver will pick you up from the Athens hotel and drive you to Piraeus Port for you to take the ferry to Mykonos. Upon arrival at Mykonos Port you will be met and transferred to your hotel for check-in. The afternoon is free at leisure to start exploring this cosmopolitan island. Stroll down the whitewashed streets of the Chora (the capital town) and get involved in the Mediterranean spirit by dining in one of the local taverns or drinking your first cocktail at one of the waterfront beach bars (own expense).

Overnight in Mykonos.

Day 4: MYKONOS DISCOVERY

Enjoy your breakfast at the hotel before you stroll down the Chora streets to begin with your Cycladic discoveries. The architecture of the narrow marble streets is astonishing and whitewashed houses with colorful doors and window frames, bougainvillaea trees in red bloom and hidden churches will spark your curiosity about the Cycladic heritage. Pay a visit to the church of Panagia Paraportiani, the Townhall and the castle situated above the harbour and don’t miss the Archaeological, Folklore and Maritime Museums to take in a little history. Wander around the pedestrian shopping streets of the Chora. Stop at glamorous Maoyanni Streets to shop at one of the brand name stores or just enjoy a drink at one of the dazzling cafés or restaurants. On the lively waterfront, admire a fleet of fishing boats casting colourful reflections in the azure waters and do not miss the Kazarma building, the personal residence of Manto Mavrogenous, the heroine of the Greek Revolution. Continue to Ano Mera village. The big square in the middle of the village with all traditional café and restaurants and the big marble fountain, the Monastery of Panagia Tourliani with the unique icon of holy Mary, makes Ano Mera the most attractive and traditional village of Mykonos. Lay back and relax at the most famous beaches of the island like Kalafatis, Agios Stefanos and Agios Giannis with the perfect view to Delos, just before returning back at your hotel full of experiences. 

Overnight in Mykonos.

Day 5: MYKONOS

Day 7: SANTORINI

Breakfast at your hotel. The morning is at your own leisure. But in the evening do not miss the sheer beauty of Santorini's sunset view, one of the best places on earth as far as sunset viewing is concerned.

Overnight in Santorini.

Day 8: DEPARTURE SANTORINI

After one last breakfast at your hotel, bid farewell to Greece as you get onto a comfortable transfer to Santorini Airport or Port, where you will catch your flight to your following destination. We hope the memories of this trip will stay with you for a lifetime – have a safe journey!

Comfortable and light clothing is the most suitable for travelling in Greece. Visitors should not wear sleeveless shirts, shorts, short skirts or skimpy clothing when visiting temples, religious or official buildings. Sun protection, sunglasses, a hat and mosquito repellent can be very useful during your stay.
