What's this trip about?

    Knock Greece off your bucket-list with this incredible vacation to Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini! Whether you're a history buff, a beach lover, or a total foodie, Greece has it all. Walk in the footsteps of ancient gods and goddesses in Athens, then set sail to the postcard-worthy islands of Mykonos and Santorini. Feel your eyes widen at the brilliance of the blue Aegean sea and immerse yourself in local island culture.  Start off in Athens. While this city has become somewhat modernized, it holds onto its ancient roots with authenticity and pride. Stroll around the capital and take note of its modern-ancient contrasts! Dig into a gyro at a cute cafe in the charming Plaka neighborhood, then enjoy an included city tour! Visit the Acropolis, the Parthenon, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, and more. Next, you'll set sail to magical Mykonos! On the ferry, you'll feel like you're starring in a movie as the island's cascading whitewashed architecture comes into focus. Treat yourself to an unforgettable meal in "Little Venice," visit Mykonos' iconic windmills, and explore narrow streets lined with lively bars and quaint shops. One more stop! Hop aboard the ferry and arrive in the spectacular island of Santorini. Beach hop from Perissa to Kamari to Red Beach, explore Ammoudi Bay and post-eruption Thera, then hike to Oia and watch a red-orange sunset over the sea! After 3 nights in Grecian paradise, you'll fly back to Athens for one final night. Scoop up some last-minute souvenirs and get ready to show off your photos to friends and family back home!
