Athens - Sifnos - Santorini

Duration: 10 days / 9 nights
Destinations:
View of church dome and the vivid blue Aegean Sea encircling the volcanic caldera, Santorini island

With an island-hopping adventure combining two different worlds, this package will expose you to both the cosmopolitan and the traditional side of Greece! Easing you into the trip, we begin in Athens, where the ancient world comes alive in the urban setting of a contemporary metropolis. The meticulously planned half day city tour will take you to the biggest historic attractions, including the Acropolis Museum. It makes no difference whether you prefer traditional taverns to luxurious restaurants or lounge cafes to fancy bars because Athens has it all. What follows is a taste of the quiet life, in the small island of Sifnos, a hidden gem, gracefully embraced by the deep blue colors of the Aegean Sea. Its shoreline consists of magnificent isolated beaches for those of you that value your privacy and are looking to escape the crowds of tourists swarming to Greece every summer.

What follows is Santorini, a world-renowned destination, famous for so many great attributes that deciding which is its biggest one will prove to be a Herculean task. The crescent-shaped jewel of the Aegean features a dormant volcano that has filled with water and created a caldera, isolated beaches laid with pebbles of distinct colors and many opportunities for sightseeing. The main town of Thira is perched on a cliff and provides the ideal setting for a romantic dinner with fine local wine and a view of the setting sun as it dives towards the Aegean Sea. The hue of gold that populates the sky at that time will stay with you long after you've left the island.

Why not enrich your trip by adding the cosmopolitan island of Mykonos on your itinerary?

Out of the many beaches on Sifnos’ coastline, Platis Gyalos, Vathi and Kamares are particularly popular. Activities like horseback riding, sailing and scuba diving are also present for visitors looking to spend a few hours doing something different on the island.

The villages of Oia and Imerovigli, along with the capital of Fira are all great places to experience life like a Santorinian and also find a tavern that will serve you all the local delicacies like fava, tomatokeftedes, and kofta. Finally, you have to witness with your own eyes the raw power of nature in the Red Beach, Black Beach and Vlychada, where the coast is laid with volcanic pebbles –red, black and white respectively- rendering them a unique monochromatic spectacle. A great way to combine some of those activities is a sailing tour around the island.
