The adventure
Looking for paradise? This 10-day trip might be the answer to your travel dreams. An amazing combination of Greek cuisine, unparalleled ocean views, and hikes through the hills of stunning Greek islands that skip the crowds and leave you breathless. Start the adventure with a historical experience of Athens before catching a ferry to the lesser-known islands of Tinos and Naxos full of piercing blue skies and the sounds of waves lapping lightly on the shore. You'll hike to historic castles and charming villages, explore local flavours on a food tour and local specialties tasting, and snorkel through caves in the Aegean Sea. Experience a slower pace of the Greek islands and refresh your mind, body, and soul.
Athens, named after the greek goddess of wisdom, Athena, is a place so rich in cultural history it can be hard to take in the magnitude of its contributions to the world we live in today. From the world's most influential philosophers-Socrates, Aristotle, Plato-to the thinkers who brought about the first democratic political systems, Athens has more than its fair share of history to uncover. Welcome to Athens, and to Greece, and we invite you to join us in discovering what makes Greece the perfect blend of the ancient and the modern.
Socrates said "I am a citizen, not of Athens, or Greece, but of the world". Well today you are all citizens of Athens. Explore two of the most important monuments in history. From the home of the Goddess Athena to the peoples places, dive into the history of Athens, greek mythology and the birth of democracy.
