Next, you're off to some of the most iconic ancient Greek sites of the Agora, Acropolis and Parthenon where you will explore with a local guide. This evening join your CEO as we head up to Filopappou Hill for a wonderful sunset over Athens.

Hop on an early ferry bound for the island of Tinos as we embark on an unforgettable day in the Greek Islands. From the port of Rafina, pull away from Athens and be sure to find a good spot to sit and enjoy the views. Upon arrival to Tinos, dive straight into it with a walking food tour of the old town, meeting local shop owners, sampling some fresh products and learning about life in the islands. Take the afternoon to continue exploring or to relax by the hotel pool soaking up the sun before heading out in the evening with your CEO for a surprise that will round out the day perfectly.

Swap one beautiful Island for another today and hop over to gorgeous Mykonos by ferry. Join your CEO for an orientation walk to get your bearings before taking free time to enjoy this popular island, visit the windmills, and maybe treat yourself to a cocktail overlooking the ocean. Travel back to Tinos in the afternoon by ferry and later head out for an optional dinner with the group.

Day 5Today you will explore Tinos town…

Today you will explore Tinos town with your CEO on a walking tour through the port settlement. After, use a free afternoon to explore however you wish. Refresh by the pool or take a walk to the nearest beach, visit Pyrgos, or look for a pottery or marble carving class.

Day 6Leave Tinos behind and travel by ferry to Naxos

Leave Tinos behind and travel by ferry to Naxos. After a bit of free time to relax, set out in the evening on a CEO-led walking tour of Naxos town, wandering the narrow winding alleys and see the imposing Venetian castle overhead on a hilltop. Soak in the island charm with Naxos' cobblestone streets and whitewashed buildings before finding a place to eat and enjoying an evening at leisure.

Day 7Take on Naxos today on your terms

Take on Naxos today on your terms. Perhaps join your CEO for a beach exploration or set off to do your own thing, maybe visiting the nearby castle on the hill and its museum or spend the day shopping, cafe-hopping, and relaxing on the beach.
