The adventure
Got eight days? Then you've got all the time you need to soak up the soul of Greece (and some sunrays too obviously). Explore the intricate remains of Europe’s oldest city and learn of the once thriving civilization at the Palace of Knossos. Sail past breathtaking Aegean vistas on an optional sunset cruise from Oia and enjoy Crete’s most stunning natural gorge on the Samaria Gorge hike. Get ready to witness unparalleled beauty on an unforgettable escape into paradise.
Arrive at any time.
Travel by private transfer and ferry. Relax on the beach or opt to rent a kayak and explore secluded beaches and coves.
Hike in the Samariá Gorge. Return with time to take a refreshing dip in the crystal clear water of Southern Crete. In the late afternoon catch a ferry to the town of Loutro for the night.
Take advantage of a free day for exploring the area. Head out for a swim and savour tasty seafood meals at secluded restaurants, or choose to hike Aradine Gorge.
Travel to Heraklion. Enjoy a visit to Knossos, site of a Minoan palace and residence of King Minos. Enjoy the rest of the day on your own with free time.
Hop on a ferry to beautiful and iconic island of Santorini. Get your bearings after arriving on an orientation walk of the town of Fira with your CEO. Then head out on a spectacular walk along the caldera from Fira to Oia with incredible views over the Mediterranean. Take in the sunset and then return to the hotel in the evening.
Enjoy a free day to explore Santorini. Opt for a half-day volcano tour, shopping, relaxing on the beach, or make your way to the crater's rim to savour the breathtaking view. If the mood suits, soak up the sunset on a pre-bookable sunset Oia cruise.
