Elegant Greek Tour covering Athens, Delphi, Meteora, Mykonos & Santorini

After your arrival in the mythical city of Athens, the transfer to your hotel will be conducted in one of our private vehicles. Once you arrive at the hotel, a member of our English speaking team will help with check-in, also inform you of all the details of your trip, clear any doubts or queries you may have and offer a brief presentation of the city and its everyday way of life. The rest of the day is free for you to relax and enjoy Athens at your own pace.

 

After your breakfast and at the appointed time, we will commence the panoramic tour of the Athenian Neoclassical Center: the Parliament, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the University, the Library, and National Academy, the Ilion Palace, the Temple of Zeus and Hadrian's Gate, the Panathenaic Stadium, and many other monuments and sites of great interest.  You will learn all there is to know about their history and background from the licensed English-speaking Tour Guide accompanying you on this tour.

After the panoramic tour, we will visit the "sacred rock", the spectacular, unique and magnificent Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum. The entrance fee to both sites is included. At the end of the visit, you can either choose to return to your hotel or go off to start your own adventure through the charming and picturesque streets of Plaka.

In the evening, a walking-tour is included and will take you through the prettiest areas of Athens, such as Anafiotika, Thissio, Monastiraki, and Plaka.

In the morning and after a refreshing breakfast we will make our way to Delphi, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the center or navel of the ancient world.  It was here where the renowned Oracle of Delphi, a counsellor of kings and pilgrims, was took shelter. We cannot miss out on a visit to the museum which houses the "bronze charioteer", a masterpiece of Greek sculpture. At the end of our Delphi tour, we will leave the slopes of Mount Parnassus, and will head towards the plains of Thessaly where the city of Kalambaka is located. Arrival in Kalambaka, dinner and accommodation.

Early in the morning we will visit Meteora, also recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 1988.  In this mysterious landscape, the natural beauty is combined with the compelling presence of the eternal monasteries suspended or "meteora" on top of the huge rocks. Currently there remain only six in use, five for the male and one for the female monastic community.  On the way back to Athens, we will pass by Thermopylae, where we can see the statue of the Spartan King Leonidas I, famous for leading the battle against the Persians in 480 BC. Back to Athens in the afternoon and drop off to your hotel.

Dresscode in the monasteries: Sleeveless clothing and shorts over the knee for men are prohibited. For ladies skirts and shawls are available at the entrance in case they don’t have such clothing to cover themselves

Early in the morning, one of our private vehicles will be waiting for you along with your assistant to transfer you to the port of Piraeus where you will board the ferry to the famous island of Mykonos. The crossing is scheduled at the ideal time of the day so as to enjoy the sun on deck and marvel at the deep blue of the Aegean sea.

Upon your arrival to the island, one of our English speaking representatives will be waiting to welcome you, transfer you to your hotel and introduce you to this famous island. The rest of the day is free for you to relax and immerse yourself in the kind of 'slow life' life that the friendly islanders are accustomed to.

Free day to enjoy this magnificent island. Mykonos is the meeting point of the international "jet set", famous for its wonderful beaches, the dazzling shops and vibrant nightlife. Just a few minutes away by ferry, it is the historic island of Delos, which, according to Greek mythology, is the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. This small island, inhabited since 3000 B.C., was one of the most important cultural centers of antiquity. We recommend hiring a car or a motorcycle to venture out in the island, view the local customs and feel like a Mykonian.

Having enjoyed a rich breakfast, appreciating life like a Greek, one of our vehicles will pick you up at the agreed time to drive you to the port where you will continue on to your next destination, the island which is an inexhaustible source of inspiration, Santorini. Approaching the island, you will have the opportunity to admire the capital city of Fira, with its white houses overhanging the cliffside and facing the volcano.

Upon your arrival, one of our English speaking representatives will be waiting for you at the port to welcome you, direct you to your hotel and comment a little more on the highlights of this picturesque island. The rest of the day is free to wander through the narrow streets and watch one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world.

Considered to be the lost continent of Atlantis, this is a free day for you and your companion to explore this magical island. Optionally, you can choose to go on a dazzling sailboat tour that comprises visits to the small islands inside the caldera, Nea and Palea Kameni, with the hot springs of green and yellow waters. All the time, the capital city of Fira will never be far away but will faithfully accompany us throughout the cruise tour. We also recommend you rent a vehicle in order to get to know more about this island, taste its wine and its excellent local cuisine.

At the agreed time, you will be transferred to the airport of Santorini, from where you will board your flight to Athens.

Your arrival at the airport will correspond to your international flight, which should preferably have a departure not earlier than 12:30 hrs. Having spent a few fantastic days, we hope to see you soon so as to create together new and extraordinary moments that will be lovingly etched in your memory. Have a nice trip! or as Greeks say Kalo taksidi!
