Designed for travellers who appreciate comfort, culture, and unforgettable scenery, this island-hopping land only adventure blends rich history, vibrant island life, and exceptional hospitality.
Your journey begins in Athens, where ancient wonders meet cosmopolitan flair. You will settle into the elegant 5-star Athens Marriott Hotel. A welcome reception and group dinner with wine or beer will set the tone for the days ahead. An included guided visit to the Acropolis will offer a powerful introduction to the cultural heartbeat of Greece.
Next, a short flight (included) will take you to the sparkling shores of Mykonos. You will check in to the luxurious 5-star Myconian Avaton, perched above the Aegean with breathtaking views.

Then we will take you to Crete, Greece’s largest island, via a high-speed ferry (included). Stay at the 5-star Apollonia Resort, located directly on the long and sandy beach of Amoudara, just a few kms away from Heraklion and landscapes of natural beauty, where daily breakfast and dinner are included.
