Itinerary
Welcome to Athens! Upon your arrival at the airport, our representative will be there to greet you and ensure a smooth transfer to your hotel. Take this opportunity to unwind and get comfortable in your accommodation.
Following your morning meal, you will be picked up from your hotel for a guided sightseeing tour of Athens. This excursion includes visits to the House of Parliament, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Hadrian’s Arch, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Panathenaic Stadium, the Academy, the University, the National Library, the Acropolis, the Parthenon, the Erectheion, the Temple of Athena Nike, and the Acropolis Museum. You will have the rest of the day to enjoy at your leisure.
After breakfast, our bus will transport you on a special day trip to Delphi, which was regarded as the Earth’s center and held great religious significance in ancient Greece. The ancient site of Delphi is adorned with various monuments from that era, including the Sanctuary of Apollo, the Treasury of the Athenians, the Theatre, the Stadium, and the Museum, housing the renowned statue of Antinoos and the exceptional bronze statue of the Charioteer dating back to 475 B.C., as well as the famous athlete Aghias. As you travel, enjoy the view from your window as you traverse the Thessalian plains, passing through the charming towns of Amphissa, Lamia, and Trikala, until you reach your hotel in Kalambaka in the early evening. Once you have checked in, take the opportunity to explore the town at your own pace before concluding the day with a relaxing dinner at your hotel.
Start your day with a breakfast at your hotel, and then embark on a journey to Meteora. This remarkable UNESCO World Heritage site showcases over 20 rock monasteries, perched atop towering sandstone cliffs or ingeniously built into the caves naturally formed within the cliffs. Initially inhabited by hermits in the 11th century, these monasteries later became sanctuaries for monks seeking refuge during the decline of the Roman Empire. Prepare to be awestruck by the breathtaking scenery and the invaluable historical and religious treasures suspended between the heavens and the earth. Afterward, return to Athens, arriving in the early afternoon.
In the morning, you will be transferred to Piraeus port for your journey to Naxos. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to your hotel.
Take pleasure in a leisurely free day as you explore the enchanting island. Discover the stunning ancient churches, monasteries, and Venetian castles, which seamlessly blend with the Cycladic-style cubic houses. Immerse yourself in the medieval charm of the Venetian town of Chora, marveling at its unique architecture.
Make your way to the port for your departure to Santorini. Upon arrival in Santorini, you will be transferred to your hotel.
Spend the day at your leisure, exploring the charming paths of Fira, the captivating capital of Santorini. Situated on the Caldera’s edge, take in the breathtaking vistas of the volcano, ocean, white-washed buildings, and blue-domed churches. Discover Oia, Firostefani, and Imerovigli, and unwind while witnessing the world’s most stunning sunset.
Enjoy a leisurely morning and then transfer to the port for your ferry journey to Piraeus port in Athens. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to your hotel. Settle in and take some time to relax.
Based on your flight departure time, you will be transferred to Athens airport to begin your journey back home, carrying with you the wonderful memories of your Greek adventure.
