Tour Overview

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.

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

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.
