This package redefines "all inclusive", featuring a two week visit to Greece, enriched with a trip to the exotic coast of Asia. This incredible trip begins in Athens, a place of captivating contrasts between contemporary architecture and ancient sights. You will get a glimpse of the Athenian culture during our meticulously planned half day city tour but you will also have time to walk the narrow streets of Plaka at your own leisure. Then it's time to heave up anchors and begin a 7 day cruise that will take you to popular destinations such as Mykonos, Crete and Santorini, to hidden gems like Milos and even to the Turkish resort of Kusadasi.
Your return to Athens will mark the beginning of a new adventure; exploring the Greek mainland! Steep mountains, fruitful valleys, small traditional villages and a myriad of ancient sites await for you! During this 4 day classical tour, you will be visiting places on immense historical value such as Mycenae, the ancient theater of Epidaurus, the sanctuary of Olympian Zeus in Delphi and for a slightly more modern touch, the Byzantine monasteries on Meteora. Seemingly suspended from cliffs that can only be described as a geological wonder, these monasteries exude a serenity which is perfectly juxtaposed with the natural wildness of the landscape, creating a mesmerizing antithesis. Who wouldn't want to experience such an emotion?
