Join our five-day tour and indulge in the island beauty of Greece! Begin by strolling the streets of Athens, one of the most historic cities in the world. 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. 

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.

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 – SANTORINI (3 hrs, by hydro boat)

Begin your day with a tasty breakfast at your hotel, and then get in on the transfer to the port of Athens to board the hydro boat to Santorini. You will be met and transferred to your hotel for check in. This evening is free at leisure on this dazzling island of Santorini. Lay back and relax at the white long beaches or head out to explore the island´s history and fascinating landscape.

Overnight in Santorini.

Day 4: 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. Oia village where you will view the sunset from is situated on top of an impressive cliff and offers a spectacular view over the volcano and the island of Thirassia. 

Overnight in Santorini.

Day 5: 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.
