SHORT ITINERARY :

The moment you step into Athens, you feel it—the weight of ancient history mixed with the buzz of a modern metropolis. We check in, freshen up.

As the sun dips, we take it up a notch—dinner at a rooftop restaurant overlooking the Acropolis, glowing golden under the night sky. With a glass of Greek wine in hand, we toast to the adventure ahead. Welcome to Greece!

Start the day with a 10:30 AM guided walking tour of the Acropolis, where the Parthenon and other ancient structures tell the story of Greece’s glorious past.

Visit the Acropolis Museum, an architectural masterpiece with a glass floor revealing ancient ruins beneath. Afterward, explore Monastiraki Market, known for its flea market finds, souvenirs, and traditional Greek snacks.

Even if you don't know anything about Greece , today by evening you will know a lot more to have a context to enjoy the rest of the trip.

Later we head straight to Plaka, the city’s most charming neighbourhood. Think cobbled streets, neoclassical houses, hidden cafes, and the scent of fresh souvlaki in the air.

Ever seen a monastery floating in the sky? That’s Meteora for you. We hop on a scenic morning train to Kalambaka, and suddenly, towering rock formations appear, with monasteries perched on top like something out of a fantasy movie.

We visit the Great Meteoron and Varlaam Monasteries, once accessible only by rope ladders. The views from up here? Unreal. We take in the silence, the sheer beauty of the place, and then make our way back to Athens, our hearts a little fuller.

Today is a long day ,expect to reach back by 9pm only.

After a slow morning, Take a afternoon flight to Santorini and check in. This is going to be a chill day

In the afternoon, embark on a scenic hike along rugged cliffs with breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea.

Arrive in Oia just in time for its world-famous sunset, followed by dinner at , a waterfront restaurant known for its fresh seafood..

Sail across the caldera on a traditional Greek boat, stopping at Nea Kameni to hike the crater of an active volcano. Continue to Palea Kameni, where the island’s hot springs offer a natural spa experience with warm, mineral-rich waters.

Afterward, visit Thirassia Island, a quiet retreat where you can explore the traditional village of Manolas . Return to Santorini and enjoy a relaxed evening overlooking the Aegean.

Say hello to Mykonos, where chill mornings turn into electric nights.

After a scenic ferry ride, we check into our hotel and head straight to beach —think sun loungers, cocktails, and international DJs setting the mood.

As evening falls, we board a sunset boat party. Picture this: dancing on deck as the sun sets behind the Aegean, drinks in hand, music thumping, and a sky painted in hues of pink and gold.

Wake up to the fresh island breeze and a leisurely breakfast before stepping into the heart of Mykonos Town (Chora). Today, we slow down and truly soak in the essence of this picture-perfect island.

We kick things off with a 2-hour guided walking tour, meandering through the charming, maze-like streets of Mykonos Town. Our local guide leads us through the island’s iconic landmarks, revealing the stories behind them.

• Manto Mavrogenous Statue – Learn about Greece’s fierce female revolutionary hero.
• Paraportiani Orthodox Church – A striking whitewashed church that looks like a sculpture against the sky.
• Little Venice – A postcard-perfect stretch where colorful buildings meet the sea. This is Mykonos’ most photogenic spot—get your cameras ready!
• The Windmills of Mykonos – These legendary windmills have stood tall since the 16th century, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the island.
• Mykonos Old Port – Feel the town’s heartbeat at this charming harbor, lined with waterfront cafes and buzzing with life.

As we wander through Chora’s narrow streets, every corner whispers history, culture, and island charm. You’ll pass hidden boutiques, cute little bakeries selling warm loukoumades (Greek honey doughnuts), and maybe even run into Petros the Pelican, Mykonos’ famous (and very photogenic) local mascot!

After the tour, the afternoon is yours to explore at your own pace. Grab a coffee at a traditional Greek café, do some last-minute souvenir shopping, or head to a seaside taverna for a relaxed lunch.

As the sun begins to set, we gather at 180° Sunset Bar for one last golden-hour moment. With a drink in hand and the Aegean stretching out before us, we soak in the beauty of Mykonos one last time.

We will take a ferry back to Athens and do a bit of stroll here and possibly stay up the night as its our last night in Greece.

Wake up to one last morning in Athen and enjoy a leisurely breakfast at your hotel, soaking in the final moments of Greek bliss. If time permits, take a short walk along the old port or relax by the pool with a coffee before heading to the airport. ( Flight details attached )

Depart from Greece with a heart full of memories, from the grandeur of Athens’ ancient ruins to the fiery Santorini sunsets and the electric energy of Mykonos.

2. Athens is one of the world’s oldest cities, with a recorded history of over 3,400 years.
3. Meteora’s monasteries were built as a retreat from invading forces, and monks once used baskets and ropes to pull supplies—and themselves—up the cliffs.
4. Santorini was shaped by one of the largest volcanic eruptions in history, which may have inspired the legend of Atlantis.
5. The sunsets in Oia, Santorini, are so famous that crowds gather hours in advance to get the best spot.
