Itinerary
Let it sink in – you’re standing in what was once the center of the Western world, where the likes of Socrates, Aristotle and Plato shared wisdom that has stood the test of time. Your launchpad to a Greek island adventure begins in the capital. There’s plenty of time to relax on the island, so lace up your walking shoes and discover the city your way. Later, join your Travel Director and fellow travelers for a glimpse of what lies ahead.
Athens, Greece
One of the oldest cities in the world, Athenian history spans more than three millennia, and served as the foundation for much of modern Western culture. Ancient monuments like the Parthenon have been standing for thousands of years.
The Acropolis looms large over Athens and today you’ll get up close and personal with this ancient citadel. Your Local Guide reveals its extraordinary history that spans thousands of years, as you view the archaeological remains of temples, theaters and the mighty Parthenon, considered the most important building to survive Classical Greece. You’ll also view the Panathinaiko Olympic Stadium, the Temple of Zeus and Hadrian’s Arch, passing by Syntagma Square to admire the curiously clad Evzone guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The rest of the day is yours to explore Athens on your terms. With ancient history still fresh in your your mind, you may wish to embark on a Choice Experience to see the 5th-century BC Temple of Poseidon at Sounion. Or, why not visit a turtle sanctuary as part of our MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Choice Experience? This evening, if the sizzle of street food hasn’t already captured your attention, you may choose to join your fellow travelers for an optional traditional dinner at a favorite city taverna.

Don’t resist the urge to slow things down as you leave the busy cityscape behind and catch a high-speed ferry to Santorini. The spectacular volcanic eruption in 1646 BC left its magical mark on the island's dramatic landscape. After checking in and an orientation tour, you'll have some free time to explore at your own pace.
Santorini, Greece
This Greek island in the Aegean Sea was formed due to local volcanic activity, creating a crater island. It is perennially regarded as one of the world's best, most beautiful vacation destinations.
Don’t waste a second of your time lazing on the sun-soaked beaches of Santorini when you can ascend to its highest point for stunning views instead. This Choice Experience will reveal the iconic landscapes of the Cyclades you’ve only seen in photographs – the gleaming whitewashed buildings, cerulean blue domes, and cascades of cerise bougainvillea. Alternatively, you could board a caïque fishing boat to the volcano, soaking in its warm thermal waters and healing mud, all set against the enchanting backdrop of Santorini’s cliff-top villages. Or, take to the water on a catamaran cruise through the caldera, where you can swim, snorkel and soak up the sea breeze. This evening, there’s no better place to bid farewell to another beautiful island day than in Oia. Stroll through its marble streets to our favorite sunset spot and capture the Instagram shot of the trip.

Choose from several Choice Experiences to fill your day, or simply stroll through Fira’s narrow streets, shopping for last-minute souvenirs, clothing and jewelry. Incredible views of the Caldera are never far as you wander the island’s ancient paths, villages and beaches at your own pace. Why not make the most of your final evening in Santorin by sampling the local culinary delights with uninterrupted views of the Aegean Sea? There’s always time for one last ouzo.

Bound for the island playground of Mykonos, all that stands between you and the sun-kissed shores of the Cyclades is a short high-speed ferry ride. After transferring to your hotel, Mykonos is yours for the taking so don’t hold back. Seek out your favorite island spots for the rest of your stay. Whitewashed houses line the narrow streets, and life feels idyllic behind the colorful wooden shutters that shield the locals from the warm Mediterranean sun.
Mykonos, Greece

Snap your fingers and you’ll be on the other side of the island. Well, almost. Spend your day exploring tiny Mykonos your way, or join your fellow travelers for an optional Island tour, driving through arid landscapes to some of its most celebrated beaches. Before dipping your toes into the water, you’ll visit Ano Mera, a traditional village home to a 16th-century monastery dedicated to the protectress of Mykonos. Then, continue to the beautiful Blue Flag beach of Kalafatis.

Grab your front-row seat to the goings-on in Mykonos's old port as you perched on one of the brightly painted wooden balconies characteristic of Little Venice. There’s time today to wander through the shopping streets of Chora village and see the 16 -century windmills of Kato Mili, which overlook the bay. Make the most of your final evening in this island playground, seek out a taverna with beautiful sunset views and toast to another day in paradise with new friends.

Leaving island life behind, it’s time to return to Athens for a final exhilarating encounter with the vibrant Greek capital. After transferring to your Athens hotel, spend the evening wandering the narrow lanes of Plaka following your nose past its 19th-century facades to find the best souvlaki in town. A lively evening lies ahead if you’ve yet to have your fill of good times with good friends. Keep your toes tapping to the street music that fills the air and find a taverna with your name on it.
