The TripExperience the very best of Greece, including the historic sights of Athens, the blue-roofed buildings of Santorini, the narrow stone streets of Mykonos, and the quiet nature of Andros. This 10-day experience is ideal for the first-time traveler to Greece with history, food, nature, beach and luxurious boutique accommodations. Begin in bustling Athens to delve into Greek cuisine and gain a deeper understanding of Greek culture. Unwind after a short flight to the breathtaking island of Santorini, where you’ll sea kayak at sunset and taste Greek wine from small producers. After a short ferry trip to Mykonos, experience a small-group yacht sailing trip to Rhenia Island with a guided tour of Delos, as well as a bicycle ride, lunch and wine tasting at an organic farm. Your final stop will be off the typical tourist track to the island of Andros for some nature-heavy R&R on beautiful beaches. Before departing, make your way back to Athens and step back in time 2500 years as you visit the incredible Acropolis at sunset. It quite possibly could be the perfect summer vacation.

FAQs
WHAT IS A DESIGNED TRIP?
A Designed Trip is a pre-designed travel plan based on our personal, first-hand travel experiences in each destination. As they are pre-designed, our Designed Trips have been created as a turnkey travel option and can be booked and delivered in as little as one week.
CAN I MAKE ANY CHANGES TO A DESIGNED TRIP?
Absolutely! Pre-designed doesn’t mean there isn’t any flexibility. Whether you want to shorten or lengthen your trip, switch out a destination or change an activity, let us know. If, however, you want a trip built around your specific desires, a Custom Trip might be more appropriate. We can help you decide, so get in touch.
HOW LONG DOES THE PROCESS TAKE?
Once you’ve selected your Designed Trip and chosen between a Boutique, Luxury Boutique or Luxury experience, your trip can be booked and delivered in as little as one week. If you would like to make some changes to your trip, such as including an alternative activity, shortening or lengthening your trip, then this can take a bit longer.
HOW DO I KNOW HOW MUCH MY DESIGNED TRIP WILL COST?
Once you have decided on your Designed Trip, your dates, and any adjustments we will provide a personalized itinerary and pricing for your trip. We have included base pricing on each Designed Trip page to give you an idea as to what the final cost might be, but prices can fluctuate depending on time of year and any personalization. Get in touch and we can help.
