Aegean Blue SPECIAL OFFER!

Duration: 10 Days / 9 Nights
Destinations:
Ammoudi Bay in Santorini
Package rate per person in double room during low season 2014

A very special offer for a very special holiday experience. Dive head first into the local culture with an emphasis on the Cycladic feel of Naxos and Santorini. Your journey starts at the historical city of Athens, where the astonishing achievements of an ancient civilization take center stage and the city begs to be wandered and explored. Take advantage of your free time to stroll between contemporary buildings that lie adjacent to ancient temples. Visit stylish shops sprinkled amidst traditional markets. Taste local delicacies in cozy taverns or cosmopolitan restaurants. Enjoy the nightlife and exquisite wines in charming wineries and bars that seem to spring in every corner of the vibrant city that never sleeps.

Time to explore the islands, with Naxos setting the pace for what will prove to be a testament to relaxation. Taking a stroll through narrow streets of Chora will take you to fishing taverns, tiny art shops, picturesque chapels and delightful wineries. Whether you end up on a clearing up on hill with a view of the entire island or an unexpected cul-de-sac, the salty breeze will always remind you that the sea is very close. In Santorini, a sailing cruise will show you the truly rare geological formation of the caldera. As you sail where once a volcano stood, you will witness the magnificent Red Beach & White Beach. Back on the island, you will have to face some tough decisions as swimming in Santorini's sandy beaches or soaking in your own private pool sound equally enchanting. Wherever the evening finds you, be sure to look up at the glorious sunset that paints the sky crimson, because chances are you won't find this in any other place on Earth.
