Trip Summary
3 nights in Athens
Athens captures the heart of its visitors. It's the capital city, vibrant in nature, exciting and exasperating, worldly and chic, a city that attacks the senses. It boasts art, culture, world-class museums, charming neighborhoods, exceptional food, lively people and glorious ancient gems such as the Acropolis and the iconic Parthenon. This city has a lot to offer and we promise you, it won't disappoint.
Explore the Acropolis, Parthenon, Temple of Nike, Hadrian's Gate, National Archaeological Museum, Greek Ancient Art Museum, Byzantine Museum, Temple of Poseidon, The Plaka, Syntagma Square, House of Parliament and so much more.
2 nights in Syros Island
The most famous spot of Syros is Ermoupolis, the capital town, which distinguishes for its Venetian architecture and the large port. Syros, Greece, is a well-kept secret in the Cyclades, but it is not for the lack of historical sites, beautiful beaches and traditional tavernas on offer. The most interesting site in Syros are found in Ermoupolis and include the Town Hall of Ermoupolis which is the trademark of the island, the Church of Resurrection and the Church of Agios Nikolaos. These two churches, one Catholic and the other Orthodox, are constructed on top of the two hills of Ermoupolis, one facing the other. Apart from the capital town, a very nice place to stroll around is Ano Syros, a settlement located on the slopes of a hill and offering a fantastic view of the sea.
Visit and explore the Galissas Beach, Kini Beach, Agathopes Beach, Industrial Museum of Ermoupolis, Archeological Museum of Syros, Chapel of Agia Pakou and much more.
3 nights in Mykonos Island
A whitewashed paradise in the heart of the Cyclades, famous for its sophisticated nightlife and gorgeous beaches with stunning natural beauties, picturesque villages, plus the historic treasures of nearby Delos. It is a place where celebrities, college students and families mingle together to celebrate the Greek summer. Mykonos is a top European summer destination, offering magnificent beaches and scuba diving centers. The nightlife is an essential Mykonian attraction, made of famous clubs and taverns, like the beach bars of Paradise and Paranga.
Enjoy the fantastic beaches on the south, the sunset from Little Venice, the view from the windmills and a night out in Mykonos Town.
2 nights in Paros Island
As a central island among the Cyclades, Paros is a stop for all the ferries traveling to Santorini or Naxos. Paros itself offers nice places to the tourists: beaches and excellent scuba diving, windsurfing and horse riding opportunities. Parikia is the main town of Paros, where you can admire the remarkable Church of Ekatontapliani and the nearby Butterfly Valley. Charming towns and villages deserve to be seen; the old fishing village of Naoussa is a top destination, hosting a Venetian castle.

<b>Greece</b> is THE land of ancient sites and architectural treasures: the Acropolis in Athens, the amphitheater of Epidaurus, the reconstructed palace at Knossos, the belly button of the cosmos at Delphi, fallen columns galore on the sacred island of Delos, and frescoed Minoan palaces on Crete. But don't expect a visit there to be a sober study of the ancient world, the Greek propensity for partying dates back to Dionysus. Then there are 1400 islands to explore. Greece is much more than what you were taught at school or the predictable summer image of glorious sunsets and sandy beaches.
