Travel through Greece at your own pace – from the myths of ancient Athens to the shimmering islands of the Aegean.
This is an independent journey for those who want the freedom to explore, to move with the sun, and to discover each place on their own terms.
You’ll travel between islands by ferry, stay in handpicked hotels, and experience the rhythm of Greece – part history, part sea, part pure joy.
Four destinations. One unforgettable journey.
Athens – Where It All Begins
Your adventure starts in Athens, where ancient ruins meet modern life.
Three nights here let you feel the city’s heartbeat – mornings alive with motion, afternoons that slow under the heat, and evenings filled with light and laughter.
Stand atop the Acropolis and watch the city stretch toward the sea like a mosaic of stone and history.
In Plaka, narrow streets wind between cafés, artisan shops, and shaded courtyards where time seems to stand still.
When night falls, the city transforms – rooftop terraces glow, music floats through the air, and dinner becomes a celebration of everything Greek: food, friends, and endless conversation.
Piraeus – Gateway to the Islands
After your days in Athens, the journey turns toward the sea.
Spend one night in Piraeus, Greece’s historic port and the gateway to the islands.
Here, the pace is different – the sound of engines, the sight of ferries being loaded, and the quiet anticipation of travelers about to set sail.
In the evening, stroll along the marina at Mikrolimano and dine on fresh seafood right by the water.
By dawn, the harbor stirs to life. You board the ferry to Santorini, the wind carrying the scent of salt and adventure.
Santorini – A Story Above the Sea
As the island rises on the horizon, you understand why Santorini is the image the world holds of Greece.
Whitewashed houses cling to volcanic cliffs, blue domes shimmer in the sun, and every view feels cinematic.
Three nights here allow you to savor both its grandeur and its quiet corners.
Walk the cliffside trail from Fira to Oia, where the sea unfolds beneath you and the wind whispers through the stone walls.
At midday, the light is blindingly bright; at sunset, the sky deepens into copper and rose.
Visit a winery built on volcanic soil, swim at Red Beach, and dine outdoors as night settles over the caldera.
Santorini isn’t just a place – it’s an emotion that lingers long after you’ve left.
Ios – The Hidden Gem
From Santorini, the ferry carries you to Ios – an island that moves to its own gentle rhythm.
It’s smaller, more intimate, and effortlessly charming – the kind of place where the days blur together in the best possible way.
The main village, Chora, climbs the hillside in white and blue. By day, cicadas sing across the rooftops; by night, the lanes glow with soft light and the sound of conversation drifts through open windows.
Along Mylopotas Beach, tavernas sit just steps from the water.
Further south lies Manganari, a quiet bay where the sand is pale and the sea calm as glass.
Here you swim, linger over long lunches, wander up to tiny chapels on the cliffs, and forget what day it is.
Ios is the island where time slows down – and that’s exactly what makes it unforgettable.
Mykonos – Where Everything Comes Together
The final leg brings you to Mykonos – the island that blends elegance, energy, and endless sea views.
After Ios, Mykonos feels electric: a place alive with color, rhythm, and light.
Spend three nights exploring its contrasts.
Lose yourself in the maze of whitewashed alleys in Mykonos Town, where every turn reveals a new café, gallery, or boutique.
Have coffee at the harbor as fishing boats return, or dine in Little Venice where the waves brush against the terrace walls.
As the sun sets behind the windmills, the sky glows orange and gold.
Evenings here are warm and open – a celebration of the good life, Greek-style.
If you crave calm, head to Elia or Agios Sostis Beach, where the horizon seems endless and the only sound is the sea.
Mykonos is both an ending and a crescendo – the perfect finale to your island story.
