Your LUXURY HOLIDAY starts with a 2 night stay at the ‘eternal’ city of Athens, the capital of one of the most powerful civilizations of the ancient world. Walk hand in hand with history and visit some of its architectural masterpieces like the Acropolis and the Parthenon temple. A visit to Athens would seem incomplete without a visit to its shining jewels, the Acropolis Museum and the National Archaeological Museum.
After Athens, you will visit Santorini for 3 nights, possibly the most romantic and picturesque Greek Island, born from an ancient volcanic eruption, whose stupendous cliffs rise 900 feet from a half-moon caldera which also makes it a fascinating island to explore. Picturesque villages teeter on the rocky sides and whitewashed Cycladic houses perfectly complement the blue domed rooftops.
The last 5 nights will be spent in Crete where you will experience the Real Crete where you will be situated on the slopes of an olive tree plantation, overlooking the Cretan Sea, close to the historical Venetian town of Rethymno. The peaceful setting guarantees you a tranquil and unforgettable vacation.
