Explore the Greek islands Mykonos and Santorini, and see historical Athens.
Highlights
Indulge in Santorini’s rich history with a visit to the ancient ruins of Akrotiri, a Minoan Bronze Age settlement preserved by volcanic ash, and take a guided tour and wine tasting at Venetsanos Winery, nestled into the island’s cliffs above the port of Athinios.
Spend a leisurely day on Santorini’s multi-colored beaches, where volcanic sands meet crystal-clear waters. Or, opt for adventure with a thrilling catamaran sailing excursion around the island’s rugged coastline, stopping to swim in warm waters heated by underwater hot springs.
Explore the enchanting labyrinth of Mykonos’ old town, where whitewashed buildings and narrow alleys lead to the picturesque waterfront of Little Venice. Capture the romance of the island against the backdrop of iconic windmills, then enjoy an evening of traditional dancing at a lively harbor taverna.
Delve into the ancient wonders of Athens with a guided tour of landmarks like the Acropolis, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, and the original Olympic Stadium. Then explore the Acropolis Museum and have dinner in the historic Plaka District, serenaded by traditional bouzouki music.
