Your Greece vacation begins in Athens, one of the world’s great historical capitals. Spend your time in the city exploring some of the most popular sites, focusing on the Acropolis, which is home to the Temple of Athena Nike and the iconic Parthenon. If you have time, also swing by the Panathenaic Stadium, where the first Olympics were held in 1896. That evening, drive through the city center to see the Greek capital lit up beneath the stars before walking through the narrow streets of the oldest neighborhood, Plaka.
From Athens, head to Santorini, the magical island home to whitewashed houses, windswept cliffs, and picture-perfect bliss. You can stroll along the 300m-high cliffs towering over the ocean or enjoy the romantic atmosphere of the island’s charming towns. The island is also home to the Minoan ruins of Akrotiri, one of the country’s best archaeological sites. While in Santorini, you’ll take a day trip on a Catamaran Cruise to explore the surrounding volcanic islands and soak in the natural hot springs. You will also have the opportunity to take the infamous flying dress photo shoot at one of the most breathtaking picturesque sites in Greece.
Your Greek vacation continues along to Crete and its capital city, Heraklion. You can survey the walls of Koules Fortress, visit world-class museums like the Heraklion Archaeological Museum and explore the Palace of Knossos. While in Crete we will take a wine & olive tour and enjoying an authentic Greek lunch. You will some leisure time to explore the island’s golden beaches, thumping nightclubs, and famous Cretan dishes. Spend the rest of your time on the island reveling in the sunny climate and exploring the gorgeous stretches of beach and hill. Afterwards, return to Athens to spend one more day before your flight home.
