Athens - Paros - Santorini

Duration: 10 days / 9 nights
Destinations:
The Parian town of Naoussa
Package rate per person in double room during low season From 1561

This package aims to cover a broad range of travelers by including a combination of the traditional Paros and the ever-popular Santorini. Your trip starts in Athens, the birthplace of democracy, which today serves as a constant reminder of a great ancient civilization with all the comforts of a modern metropolis. Lounge bars, deluxe restaurants and quaint cafes paint the picture of today's Athens, while the Acropolis along with other monuments you will see during the half day city tour bring back memories of eras long gone.

Your first excursion in the Aegean will help you get a feel of the island life, with a trip to Paros. A quiet place with a relaxing vibe and numerous points of interest from folklore art, exquisite wineries, traditional taverns, old churches and sandy beaches. Time seems to slow down and your worries wash away as you take a swim on Golden Beach or taste freshly caught fish on the old port of Naousa, famous for its wineries. These are some of the many reasons why Paros is one of the most popular destinations among the locals. In the same vibe, you will find yourselves in Santorini, an island you will adore before you ever set foot in. The view of Thira perched on a cliff will enchant you as you approach the port. That alone is not enough though and the island will reward you with art galleries, fine wine, beautiful isolated beaches laid with volcanic pebbles of distinct colors, the prehistoric settlement of Akrotiri, naturally occuring hot springs, sailing options and a simply glorious sunset which resembles no other in the world.
