Your first Greek dining experience will take place at a traditional restaurant which serves authentic Greek dishes including moussak, souvlaki and tzatziki.
Spend the evening in your own free time. As a suggestion could be a visit to one of the city's scenic spots like Lycabettus Hill for panoramic views of the Acropolis and the Athenian skyline.
Today’s schedule finds you to “ancient” Athens with a private guided tour of the Acropolis. The sacred hilltop has served as Athens' central location for many years while containing three of the world's most famous ancient ruins which include the Parthenon, the Temple of Athena Nike and the Erechtheion. Your licensed guide will explain the historical significance of these monuments while sharing stories about the myths and cultural achievements which formed both Athens and Western civilization.
The New Acropolis Museum stands as an architectural wonder that you will visit after completing your Acropolis tour. The collection presents ancient Athenian artifacts as Parthenon sculptures together with other important artifacts from ancient times. The museum gives you an extensive exploration of Athens' historical and cultural heritage which shows the complete story of the city's past.
If you're up for more exploration, ask your guide for additional recommendations. The city is full of surprises, from vibrant street art to hidden archaeological sites, ensuring that no two days in Athens are the same.
After exploring Athens, you’ll take a short flight to Mykonos, one of the most famous islands in the Cyclades. Mykonos is known for its beautiful beaches, white buildings and an excellent combination of active evening entertainment and peaceful atmosphere. Mykonos welcomes you to experience its energetic nightlife, historical sites and beautiful sandy beaches.
You should first find your hotel room before you start your exploration of Mykonos Town (Chora). The streets lead to narrow streets with boutique shops, art galleries and charming cafes. The windmills and Aegean Sea waters create a beautiful scene while the sun sets in the distance.
Today, embark on an unforgettable sunset cruise, beginning with a transfer to the harbor where you'll board a traditional boat for a semi-private journey to the islands of Delos and Rhenia. Your cruise will first stop at Delos, one of Greece's most important archaeological sites and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Delos was once the center of the ancient world and is believed to be the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. As you walk around the ruins, your guide will reveal the history and legends surrounding this sacred island.
Next, move to Rhenia, known for its crystal-clear waters and natural beauty. Here, you'll have the chance to swim, explore the island’s beaches and enjoy snorkeling with the provided equipment. After some time on the beach, you’ll enjoy a delicious Mediterranean buffet on board, accompanied by local wine, beer and soft drinks.
As the sun begins to set, take in the breathtaking views as you return to Mykonos. You’ll pass by Little Venice, one of the most beautiful spots on the island. You can find colorful houses right on the edge of the sea, perfect for photos and memories.
Your following destination will be the globally famous island of Santorini. Santorini stands as a required travel destination because it offers you to witness its breathtaking caldera scenery, experience its beautiful white villages and its breathtaking sunset displays. The volcanic history of Santorini created its dramatic natural terrain which makes the island possess unmatched beauty.
Your first impression of Santorini will be its stunning caldera when you reach your hotel. The first glimpse shows the breathtaking cliffs which extend from the ocean surface to meet the bright Aegean Sea waters. The village of Fira or Oia provides you with the opportunity to walk through their streets while enjoying the volcanic caldera views and attractive buildings. Stop by a nearby café to get a drink while you take in the amazing views of your surroundings.
Santorini is also famous for its exceptional wines. Luckily today, you'll experience the island’s unique viticulture on a guided wine tour. The island’s volcanic soil and climate make it ideal for growing some of Greece's most distinctive wines. On this small-group wine tour, you’ll visit three of Santorini’s top wineries and learn about the history of winemaking in this region.
Taste a variety of local wines, including the famous Vinsanto and discover how Santorini’s grape varieties are cultivated and transformed into world-class wines. Enjoy wine pairings with local nibbles and dive deeper into the island’s rich wine culture. After the tour, take some time to relax and enjoy the island’s stunning sunset, one of the most iconic sights in the world. Santorini's sunset views are famous for their breathtaking beauty because the sun's rays produce a warm light that illuminates the caldera while creating an ideal atmosphere for romance.
It’s time to say farewell to Greece. After an unforgettable 7 days filled with history, culture and stunning landscapes, you’ll be transferred to the airport for your flight back to Athens. From there, you’ll catch your international flight home, with unforgettable experiences to share with your loved ones.
