The adventure
Island hopping in Greece—it’s the dream, right? Picture sun-kissed beaches, whitewashed villages, and epic sunsets over the Mediterranean. On this nine-day adventure from Athens to Santorini, you'll experience it all and a whole lot more. Start by uncovering ancient history at the Acropolis and Parthenon, then wander the charming streets of Mykonos and Naxos. Make new friends while learning Greek cuisine at a cooking class in Athens, and indulge in fresh local flavours on a food tour in Tinos. End your journey in Santorini, strolling along the volcanic caldera and soaking up those iconic views.
Arrive by 16:00 to catch an included arrival transfer to the hotel. After a welcome briefing in the evening, set off with your CEO and new travelling companions to take part in a hands-on (and delicious) cooking class of traditional Greek cuisine. Don the apron and join your new travel mates to learn how to make some of the country's most delectable dishes like dolmades, spanakopita and the ubiquitous tzatziki sauce. There is no better way to be introduced to a new culture than through it's cuisine with new friends.
Enjoy a free morning to immerse yourself deeper into this historical city or to relax, then set off to discover Athens on an afternoon packed with highlights and local culture. The first stop is at a local non-profit cafe, Shedia Home, which supports the homeless community by providing purpose and employment. 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.
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.
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.
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.
Jump on a ferry and travel to the stunning and picturesque island of Santorini. Upon arrival set off with your CEO on a walk along the caldera for incredible views of the island and the sea. The walk is just under 11km and will take you along the rim of the caldera between Fira and Oia. Afterwards, enjoy an optional final dinner out with your travel mates and new friends.
