Trip Summary
3 nights in Athens
Athens captures the heart of its visitors. It's the capital city, vibrant and exciting, worldly and chic, a city that attacks the senses. It offers 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 it all 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 Tinos Island
Tinos is one of the rising island destinations in the Cyclades. It's an ideal destination for nature lovers, architecture and art aficionados, and gastronomy enthusiasts. Visitors will enjoy the beautiful beaches and picturesque villages, built in the local architectural style, as well as the island's culture, cuisine, and laid back lifestyle. Tinos is most famous for its icon of the Virgin, but it’s the wild beauty that excites most people: rocks eroded by the wind, beaches with deep blue water and traditional Cycladic villages that cling to the hillsides.
Visit and explore the Panagia Evangelistria (Megalochari) - Tinos, Livada Beach, Agali Beach, Pachia Ammos Beach, Paralia Agios Fokas, Santa Margarita Beach, and so much more.
3 nights in Naxos Island
The largest island in the Cyclades, Naxos is also the most fertile, growing olives, potatoes and citrus fruit on its hills. The capital is Naxos Town (Chora), on the northwest coast, with an endearing old town of meandering alleys and stairways.
Visit and explore the Portara, Old Town, Kastro, the beaches, Kouros of Apollonas, Mount Zas, Panagia Drosiani Church, Venetian Museum, Kouroi of Flerio, and so much more.
3 nights in Heraklion (Crete Island)
Founded in 824 AD by Arabic Muslim people, Heraklion is home to the world's only comprehensive collection of Minoan artifacts. It has magnificent fortified walls and several other testimonies to the Venetians' time in power. Heraklion is close to the ruins of the palace of Knossos, which in Minoan times was the biggest center of population on Crete. Home to Crete's largest city, Heraklion, as well as immense ruins scattered throughout the region, this prefecture draws attention from history lovers and young travelers looking for the island's nightlife.
Visit and explore the Minoan Palaces of Knossos and Phaistos, the archaeological site of Gortyn, Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Cretaquarium, Fortress of Koules, the caves of Matala, lovely beaches, charming villages and so much more.
<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.
