Recharge with a delicious breakfast, then embark on a sightseeing tour of Athens! Gawk at the amazing Acropolis, then visit the Acropolis Museum. A guide will be by your side to answer any questions you may have.

The rest of the day is spent at leisure. Relax at a cafe, or explore the city on your own! 

Day 3 Athens - Mykonos

Rise and shine! Today, you sail to Mykonos. After breakfast, you will be transferred to Athens port for your ferry. Enjoy the stunning boat ride through the Aegean Sea!

Upon arrival in Mykonos, you will be transferred to your hotel for check-in. Spend the rest of the day exploring at your own pace! You may want to treat yourself to dinner near "Little Venice."

Day 4 Mykonos

Ahh - there's nothing quite like waking up in Mykonos! Today, admire the whitewashed cubic houses, windmills, and chapels of this picture-perfect island. Lounge on the sandy beach, go shopping, then partake in the vibrant nightlife scene! Today is yours to spend as you please. 

Day 5 Mykonos

Enjoy another day of meandering through Mykonos' narrow streets. Today, you may want to visit Paraportiani, one of the many churches on the island! 

If you're in the mood for sand and sun, relax at Paradise beach, known for its laid-back party vibes. Looking for a calmer beach? Sink into the warm sand of Psarou Beach instead.
