7 Day Athens, Mykonos and Santorini Explorer

7 Day Athens, Mykonos and Santorini Explorer
For a time, Greece was the center of the world – a thriving hub of politics, philosophy, science, and art. Sheltered by mountains and blessed with a coastline open to a glittering sea speckled with hundreds of islands, the gods couldn’t have picked a prettier location for their kingdom on Earth. The archaeological sites of ancient Athens reveal a rich culture whose achievements still stagger the mind more than 2,000 years after its fall, while the whitewashed hillside towns, azure waters, and snow-white beaches of islands like Mykonos and Santorini dazzle the eye with their beauty. With so much to see and do wrapped up in such an attractive package, the only downside to visiting Greece comes with the realization that, ultimately, you’ll have to leave.

Our tour begins in the capital with a private tour led by an expert guide that will introduce you to both modern and ancient Athens at historic sites like the Temple of Athena Nike, the Arch of Hadrian, the Parthenon, and Panathenaic Stadium, site of the first modern Olympics in 1894. Later, travel to Mykonos and discover its unique culture, delicious food, and heavenly wines on a half-day privately guided walking tour of this gorgeous island famed for its nightlife. Next, head to Santorini, the southernmost Cycladic island, to walk the spectacular sands of the Red and White beaches, refresh at a natural hot spring, and embark on a stunning sunset cruise complete with a sumptuous Greek barbecue. Relaxation is a big part of the Greek Islands’ allure, which is why we’ve been careful to strike the perfect balance of activity and free time. Swim, snorkel, explore, and unwind as much as little as you like.
