Seniors Summer Special

Duration: 9 days / 8 nights
Destinations:
Sunset on Santorini from the small village of Firostefani

They say life begins after retirement and we agree. What better way to celebrate your golden years than under the golden Greek sun? We offer a unique package exclusively for senior travelers looking for a vacation with the perfect mixture of culture and entertainment. If you want to experience authentic Mediterranean cuisine and wine, bask in the elegance of ancient Greek history, or anything in between, then you’ve come to the right place. Your adventure begins in Athens, where you will soak up the exquisite blend of urban life and the ancient world through our meticulously planned tour. Explore the narrow streets of Plaka and take some refreshment with cold ouzo and traditional Greek meze on the side.

Then it’s off to Sifnos with its renowned monasteries and sandy beaches. Whether you take the local trails to Apollonia or relax in the fish taverns next to the sea, one thing is certain; this gem of an island in the edge of Cyclades offers something for every taste. Last stop is the historical Santorini, home to the world’s most stunning sunset. Marvel at the Minoan settlement of Akrotiri before you join the can’t-miss sunset tour and at the end of the day enjoy some well-earned rest in Fira with a glass of local wine. The white and blue houses of Cyclades against the breathtaking golden sunset from the top of Imerovigli will be a memory that you will cherish forever.

Life begins after retirement. Life begins in Greece.
